We have just accepted a position in the ministry of woking in a youth home. An answered prayer for us. The home is only a few miles from my ex-husband's house, who I share joint custody of my older two children with. (We divorced 10 years ago, and since have both been saved. He is now a youth Minister also.) Well, the older two live with him most of the time, and visit me on weekends and holidays (set it up that way when I was in college, then couldn't undo it). So, his wife was threatening to take me to court because I am ordered to have insurance on them, and I don't have it right now. I told them to add them to thier plan and I would pay the price for it. (Which is what our orders say to do if I do not have it offered.) Anyhow...in my gut, I feel like as soon as they find out we are moving there, that they are going to try to cause problems for us. They are notorious for making false claims to CPS about us, filling court papers to amend our custody, calling our employers and putting us down, etc. They have not done these things in three years, but I am afraid us moving close to them will put them over the edge and they will start again. I should not have to live with this kind of fear. This should be a great thing.
I need prayer that I will not be fearful and prayer that he will have a Christlike attitude (as will his wife) and embrace a new relationship with us and do what is best for the kids. I know he has a relationship with Christ, and the Devil knows he can attack in this area of him and his wife. I need them to be convicted that if they make problems for me and my husband, he also makes problems for all of our children.
Just please pray.
Thank you.
