Surrel #2

So, I will update you on the situation. Evidently, there is a nasty divorce taking place between these two people. He did take the baby and was awarded temporary custody that next day. As far as I know, he will not be charged with anything. He felt like it was a desperate situation and there was some concern in the eyes of the court. DHS was involved. As far as we know, they have joint custody now until next week some time when it will go to court again. He was instructed by his attorney to stay off of Facebook. Everything that has been posted was her side. Evidently, she has been told to be careful now, too. Please pray for this situation. I do not know any more details but my heart hurts for all of them, especially that sweet little girl! I will keep you updated. It has been crazy!

Surreal

I have had one of those moments in life that my mind cannot fathom. Tonight, as I was turning off the computer, I decided to check Facebook one more time to see if I had gotten some addresses I was needing. The first post was from a woman that had gone to our church a few years ago. She and her husband had moved back to Freed to work for the university. They have a 4 year old little girl. This is the post I read:
Kyle has kidnapped Bella!!!! Please!!!! If anyone has any information PLEASE call the police or me at 615_483_6220....please help! Please!!!!!!! Look for them. He has.my BABY!!!! Please help!
The husband has kidnapped the baby. I was floored. I am still in shock and it was over 2 hours ago that it was posted! Please, keep this family in your prayers. I have no idea what is happening but it is serious!

10-Year-Old Blind Autistic Boy Sings "Open the Eyes of my Heart"



If you have not seen this, take 9 minutes and watch it. I cried like a baby while I watched this. I worked with a child that was severely autistic before I had Jackson. I think of him daily. He was non-verbal because his parents refused to feed him gluten and dairy free foods. I purchased those out of my own money to feed him at school. I had no idea I would have to buy them for Jackson down the road. My hear aches for that boy. His parents threw his life away and it haunts be so often. When I heard this little boy, the tears flowed. This little boy is a miracle and an angel on Earth. When I watch this it also makes me want to go back into the classroom. My passion is working with these kids that many claim as useless. One day, I will go back to my job. I love being home, but I look forward to going back to the second best job in the world. Pay stinks but it is so much more than that!
