Mustard Seed

This afternoon at 5 pm eastern is the prehearing phone call between our lawyer and the State of Arizona.  To be honest and raw, my faith is small.  I want to believe… I want to be positive….

The trauma from 2 past decisions that the State made has caused me to question.  I know that God understands, and I know that He will take my mustard seed faith and can work miracles.  I need a miracle God!

Our family traveled to Manitoba on Sunday.  Brad took the long way back to his homeland.  We left early Sunday morning and dropped Brad off at Midway Airport in Chicago at 6 am. He boarded a plane to Phoenix and arrived there at 9:30 am Phoenix time.  Our friends, Gordon and Lynette, had picked up Bryson from his home and brought him to the airport.  They did a Bryson exchange… and Brad and Bryson boarded the next plane and left Phoenix at 12 pm.  They arrived in Minneapolis for their next connection flight to Winnipeg in the midafternoon.  Everything fell apart that this time…their connecting flight to Winnipeg was delayed and delayed until finally canceled at 12:25 am on Monday morning and rescheduled for Tuesday night! Try to explain that rescheduling timeline.  There were no hotels available in the area.  Finally, at 4:30 am Brad and Bryson climbed into an Uber and drove to a local gas station where Brad had to get cash out of the ATM to pay for the Uber drive and they were Ubered from Minneapolis to Grand Forks, North Dakota, a 5-hour drive! They arrived there around 9:30 am and Brad’s brother and brother-in-law drove the 4 hours down to get them and picked them up at 11:30 to drive them home.  Brad and Bryson finally with his family at 3:30 pm on Monday.  Exhausted and frustrated.

We also believe that when Brad opened Bryson’s suitcase in the airport for his seizure meds, his extra Dexcom sensor must have fallen out because we couldn’t find it anywhere. He needs a new one on Wednesday. Brad was able to find some online from a Canadian supplier and we are praying that they arrive tomorrow.

With these two incidents’ happening the last couple of days… my faith started getting weary and discouragement set in.

It was so good to see Bryson and he was happy to be with the Plett side of the family.  We have not been here as a family since 2019. 

The shenanigans started when we arrived on Sunday night, and I expect nothing less from them. 

I have been communicating with our lawyer all day today as she is preparing her argument.

I need all my prayer warriors again!

Thanks!
