font-family:Arial'>I’m generally uncomfortable asking for prayer for
myself, but this is too big for me to handle on my own and I covet your prayer
support through this. I have been inactive since New Year’s so I
could tend to some family issues, and this ordeal has recently taken a turn for
the worse. My two older sons were involved in something with our friends’
children three summers ago. My husband and I immediately got our boys
into counseling, severed the nearly decade long friendship we had with this
family, and began trying to put the pieces back together. My older son started
back in counseling a few months ago and the counselor informed us Tuesday night
that they had reached the point where she was legally obligated to submit a
report to Child Protective <st1:PersonName w:st="on">S</st1:PersonName>ervices.
This has not been done yet but when it is, though we are hoping the underfunded
and overloaded C<st1:PersonName w:st="on">P<st1:PersonName w:st="on">S</st1:PersonName></st1:PersonName>
department will choose to ignore the report, we are expecting a phone call at
the very least, and God willing, a visit at the most. Our counselor has
told us that since our family has been doing everything right since day one, we
should be fine. <st1:PersonName w:st="on">S</st1:PersonName>till, we are
shopping for a family law attorney and praying nothing comes of this. I
would love nothing more than to finally close this traumatic chapter in my
life, but it seems that is not going to happen any time soon.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
