Not much new

To the best of my knowledge, Peter remains in jail.  I got very little information this week and what I did learn sounds like the process is moving slow.  The last I heard, the mental health clinician with the police was trying to get him evaluated to be on medication in the jail.  Their thinking is it is that jail is the safest place for him to be while stabilizing.  I agree.  This process is moving slower than I hoped as well as is his acceptance into mental health court.  It is easier knowing where he is and there is "nothing for me to do" but it is a bit unnerving at the same time.  Although I pray for him as I move throughout the day, Saturday afternoon, I felt pressed to stop what I was doing and really pray.  Of course that made me wonder what is going on. I spoke with a lawyer about Peter's ability to claim residency on my porch.  She clarified things which was helpful.  I do not plan to take legal action but I do have a plan of action should he return to the porch when released from jail.

I am thankful for those who are working on his behalf. I am thankful for those willing to communicate with me.  I am thankful for those who faithfully pray.  I am thankful for the current reprieve from dealing with Peter daily and face to face.

 Here are a few things to continue praying about as you are so led.

• The processing of his disability - I get info in on time and it is approved
• Peter's safety in jail.
• That there will be people to show him the love of Jesus and his ability to see it.
• He will get evaluated and started on meds ASAP
• Peter will be agreeable to take medication.
• People in the court and mental health system who will work on Peter's behalf.
• A safe place for him to go after release from jail.  There are 2 possibilities with both being long shots.
• My ability to contact necessary agents about bills collecting at my house for Peter.
• Good and accurate communication between agencies dealing with Peter and his various court cases.
• For God to reveal himself to Peter and his ability to recieve it in this dark dark season.
• Victory over the enemy in this battle for Peter's life - here and eternal.
• As always for discerment for me to know what to do and what to let go.
• For my ability to deal with the phone calls and paperwork that I DO NOT like and struggle to be motivated to do.
