I need prayers, and lots of them. I've got some choices.

1. Go to court on July 8 for a final resolution. Not knowing what the Judge would decide is a gamble, typically 98% of the time they go along with custody evaluation recommendation - which is not what I want.

2. Sign a stipulation (before July 8 court date) based on items agreed to during mediation. Items that were not agreed to are in the stipulation, but to his benefit, not mine. Again, not what I want.

I need some peace. My family needs this to be OVER. I want to make the right decision for my son, for our family, for the future. I want what God wants, but I've got so much going in my head that I can't hear Him. Please can you pray me through this? I'm struggling hourly with this, and have for 17 long, drawn out months.

Paula...you have been in my prayers and you will stay there!

I'll pray especially for your discernment as you move forward. May God's will be done. I pray so very hard that there will be peace in His will for you!
