40 Days

We're down to forty days now before our next court date. This is significant, and we are trying to set this time apart as a family. The rain lasted for 40 days and nights during the flood of Noah. We remember that Moses was on the mount for 40 days, and the Israelites wandered for 40 years. 40 days were involved in the story of Jonah and Ninevah. Jesus was tempted for 40 days, and there were 40 days between His resurrection and His assension. We look forward to what God has in store for the 40 days ahead.
We are still hoping and praying for our appeal to be heard and accepted. We'll pray that we are assigned an earlier court date because we don't want to be away from our baby one more minute. But we will trust our God and His perfect timing.

Habukkuk 2:3 "But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day."
