Well now comes the court date where we find out officially what the court mediator's suggestions are. Like I said, my wife said that she wants me to have sole custody of the kids and such. But now comes the other part that I leave in God's hands. The judge should also be making a judgment on whether or not my wife will have unsupervised visitations vs.. supervised visitations. Along with this, the judge should also be making a decision as to whether or not my wife will have to pay us additional child support or not. On the child support I pray that God would grant me favor in this, but if not, I know he has his plans laid out for us.
I truly praise God for all that he has done for me and my children thus far in this situation. I just pray that the wait for restoration and my wife's repentance will not be that far away. In so many ways she is showing signs that she is near her breaking point of her illness with the changes in her personality. I just pray that I am not seeing things about this. Either way I trust in my lord that his plan is best and that he has something great in store for me and my children. But as I have said before, I pray and hope that the restoration of my marriage and my wife's humbleness (as well as my own) will not be that far away.
Please continue to pray for this up and the upcoming court date on Monday that God will continue to show his favor for myself and my children. Continue to pray that Satan will be kept at bay from my household during these next couple of days. Also pray that his transformation within myself will not be that far off from what I need to be and what I need to represent for others, to include my wife. I seek to be a real man of God, a better father, and a better husband than I ever have before. Please keep praying for my faith to continue to grow with Christ everyday so that the time will come that I will no longer doubt or question our fathers plan for my marriage, for my family, or my life. I hate being a reed in the wind. I wish to be like the oak that stands firm with things related to my lords will.
I love my wife dearly, and long for her greatly. But I also acknowledge that there is nothing other than prayer that I can do for her... it is God who must break her to the point of return. And I give him all praise for this. I just pray that the wait will not be long for such a situation.

Lord, please watch over thie household. Please help this father to get through these terrible times with his children. I pray for the conversion of his wife that she may see the truth in Christ and come back to her family. In Jesus' name I pray this Amen.
