The judge said they both have to go back for a hearing in January. Hopefully not with her. She refused to remove the kids in college and the one not his or reduce the amount he has to pay. They both have to have a hearing in January and hopefully, it will be with someone besides her!

The good news is Maurice got a job! Yeayyyyyy! It's permanent part time at a small chain drug store which is abou 10 minutes from here. We don't even know his rate of pay other than it'll be more than minimum wage but not as much as he was making before. Still, it'll help us get caught up eventually which is awesome. Thank you all for your prayers. Just keep praying things go well in January. If he has a hearing examiner instead of the judge he has a fighting chance. We'll know when he gets the paperwork.
I'm so excited I just had to share!!!!

There's another lovely smile I look forward to seeing! Thank you so much for your prayers and concern. Maurice is so happy he got the job. He had to go in yesterday to fill out paperwork and starts tomorrow at 3. I thought you once mentioned your hubby is an AF chaplain. Maurice is retired AF so ask him to put in a good word for him please. LOL
Thank you for your kindness-it is amamzing how a kind word of encouagement can be such a big morale booster- specially when we need one. Thank you,

Shirlene, honey, I appreciate your prayers; I've been praying for you too. I know Rick must get discouraged sometimes. Please tell him I am praying for his recovery. It is important for him to know we are praying for him and he is not alone!! Bless you both!

Janet, thank you so much! He starts tomorrow and I just know he is going to be happy there. He loves retail and being a smaller store will be less stressful and his boss is a nice person so that will help.
Paying for the child not his has been going on for years and he's tried so many times to fight it. It's hard though as he keeps getting the same biased judge. I'm praying the job is a new start and the rest will work out too. We are overdue for good things to happen to us. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. It means alot. Thank you,

Suzanne, thank you so much for your encouragement. I've been fighting depression during all this and some days are very hard to get through. I appreciate you caring and your support is very helpful in combatting the depression looming over me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Thank you for the great morale boost! I'm praying the job will help ease the financial burden and I know it will take time but it is a good start! Your positive thoughts and prayers will help a lot to get me through this awful time. You really don't know how special you are or how much your words mean to me. May God bless you for your kindness.
