I have been lurking for almost 2 years now on LHCF and have enjoyed all the threads I've visited, but especially this one. The sisterhood found in the CF is nothing short of amazing-to be amongst women uplifting, teaching, correcting, supporting and loving each other in the matchless name of Jesus is the main reason I visit. I've been hesitant to ask for prayer and support because no one here knows me, but then I thought how silly.
In about two weeks, I head to court for trial concerning actions I took almost 3 yrs ago. The 2 yr time frame from investigation to trial has been been draining physically, emotionally and spiritually. However, because of this experience, my parents have a deeper relationship with God, my family has banded together like no one's business to support me and I have a clearer view of the identity of the true friends in my life. I have not lost my mind--thought it feels like I will-- and I didn't take a gun to my head as one friend did. Most important, I've prayed to the Lord and asked forgiveness for my actions, which although not taken with the malice that will be portrayed in court, are mine to be held accountable for. He has forgiven me and remembers them no more.
As we near the court date, everything seems to be going wrong--motions are being denied, documents are missing, my legal teams seems not as sharp, witnesses seem less inclined to support me and the prosecution seems unbeatable. If I look through the natural, there is no way that this situation will end favorably. I'm struggling to continue to look beyond this and remember that He is my Lawyer, Advocate, Judge and can make a way out of no way.
I ask for your prayers for strength and courage to not give up. I've always told people that we give up just before the breakthrough and manifestation of miracles, but in this moment, those sound like empty words. Losing my career & going to jail would be devastating for my family and for me. I so want to return to this board with a continued testimony of God's greatness after the court date.
Thank you in advance for your prayers. Thank you all for creating an environment where others feel safe enough to share, learn and encourage others.
