I have temporarily taken down the other 2 articles dealing with this issue because several people have been concerned that I might be in the wrong and it could have been considered a case of degradation of character. That is the last thing I want; I don't want to continue the same things that are happening to Danae and I, I want it to stop.
I still, however, want to post some of the information for the following reasons:
1) I want people to know the truth about things that are being said about Danae and I
2) I want to use the information to give advice or receive advice from others who may be going through a similar problem
3) This blog is basically like a journal to me so I want to post about major events that happen in my life, and this, I believe, could fall under that category
I'm not sure exactly what information I need to take out of the previous posts before re posting them, but I'll prayerfully consider all my options.
Danae and I have been so worried about people calling DHS on us again, that we just went ahead and called them ourselves today. You may think I'm joking, but I am serious. We just called to let them know what was going on and to get some advice. After that I called our church to get advice from one of the pastors there. I'm really glad that I did that. I got a bunch of verses to read up on and I will make sure I do that tomorrow. Also, we got the name of a lawyer to call that can point us in the right direction for anything that we might need for any possible legal action against us.
This really sucks, you know?
I have been assured in a text message that there will be no legal action taken, so that will be a good thing if it is true. I already have enough knots in my stomach about this whole situation anyway without adding the stress, expense, and time required for a legal case.
In case the other two posts never reappear, the very quick run down is that I disagreed with several things that a certain individual was doing and I told that person they were not welcome at our home. I know this sounds like a harsh reaction, but when events have been going on for years and apology after apology is given and then gone back on, trust is broken and the responses have to escalate each time.
It was comforting today to be able to talk to a pastor who agreed that the course of action mentioned above was appropriate, nothing and nobody should slander or tear down my wife or child (Nothing bad was said against Malikai, just against Danae and I). I hate having this situation, especially with someone I have been close to for many years but events just cannot continue the way they are.
What is it that I'm expecting? A repentant and loving heart, and to be treated like an adult and parent. I don't expect anybody to just bow down and agree with whatever Danae and I do or say, but to have a loving heart about it and to respect us as parents and adults.
Also what we did today regarding this was to hear from someone who has a friend that used to be a DHS worker, so she called and got some information. Even the DHS worker said that we are doing everything right. She gave us some advice of things to do that would help us out as parents and as potential victims to another DHS investigation, but nothing that we are doing could be used against us. Even the main issue that is being brought up, if we should use baby wipes or give Malikai a bath, she said that is perfectly fine. We were given this persons number so we can talk directly later if needed, but I really hope that nothing further develops in this whole situation.
A friend of our family has been praying for us in this whole situation, and today God spoke to her heart while she was reading the Bible. She wants me to pass along a message to the person who is causing us so much strife right now, so please, if you are reading it, this isn't from me. I know that you hate it when I quote scripture, but Danae and I said we would pass this message along so I am.
Well, that's all that I have to say today, please pray for this situation. I know that Danae and I will be praying, for us to make the right actions and to resolve this conflict.Isaiah 59
Separated from God
1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.
4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in empty words and speak lies;
They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 Their webs will not become garments,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.Sin Confessed
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
10 We grope for the wall like the blind,
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.
11 We all growl like bears,
And moan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before You,
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD,
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
15 So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.The Redeemer of Zion
Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
16 He saw that there was no man,
And wondered that there was no intercessor;
Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
17 For He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
And was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay,
Fury to His adversaries,
Recompense to His enemies;
The coastlands He will fully repay.
19 So shall they fear
The name of the LORD from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.
20 “ The Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”
Says the LORD.
21 “As for Me,” says the LORD, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the LORD, “from this time and forevermore.”
