Prayers for Zizi

We have known from the beginning that we would be temporary parents for this sweet baby, but the reality is still difficult to face at times. Zizi will go to court on Tuesday, March 22, at 9am. That's when the judge will determine the next step for her - to return to mom, stay with us for a while longer, or stay with a different family member. This will be a big day in Zizi's life, and we want to cover it with prayer.

If you are interested, we would love to invite you to our home on Sunday, March 20 around 3:00pm to pray for Zizi and the events on March 22. This is nothing formal or lengthy.  Stop by for 5 or 10 minutes if you'd like. Bring your whole family! We would just like to give you the opportunity to minister to Zizi in this special way.

If you're not able to pray with her in person, feel free to pray wherever you are! Just remember her, her mother, the judge, my husband and I on that day. Here are some things we are praying for:

• That the Lord would watch over Zizi for the rest of her life. That He would continue to put people in her path who will point her toward the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and that He would keep her physically safe in whatever home she is placed.
• That the judge would be wise and discerning as he sorts through the details of the case.
• That Zizi's mother would be drawn near to the Lord, and that my husband and I would do whatever is in our power to display His abundant gracy, mercy, and love to her every step of the way.
• That the Lord would be glorified in Zizi's life and through this entire process.
• Last, but not least, that Christ's peace, which surpasses all understanding, would be with my husband and I on the inevitable day when Zizi is placed in her permanent home.
