Psalms and a Prayer Request

Today, we were given a great gift from a friend of mine and Greg's. Our friend got us a copy of a New Community service from Oct. 31, 2001. I had forgotten all about it but our friend had not. On the DVD Laurie was one of that night's worship leaders, with Joe Horness, Camille, Tim Carson, Paul Langford. Seeing her up on stage singing as she did often with her eyes closed, worshipping. So sweet...And then the part where she read from her turquoise Bible about God's promise, the rainbow. But it was the next part that astonished Pete and me. Cammille read the following verse from Psalm 18:16-19:

"He reached down from heaven and rescued me:
He drew me out of deep waters.
He delivered me from my powerful enemies,
from those who hated me and were too strong for me.
They attacked me at a moment when I was weakest,
but the Lord upheld me.
He led me to a place of safety;
He rescued me because He delights in me."

The demons, the evil one, hated her and attacked her when she was weakest, they were defeated. She was rescued and brought to safety...now with Him.

And my prayer request. We have not been able to get any of Laurie's stuff back from the Chicago Police Department. Though the case is considered closed and ruled suicide, all her belongings, the contents of the Jeep, her books, her notebooks, her purse, her roller blades, her frisbee, her cell phone, her keys, her coat, her shoes, the "note", all are being held up in the IL Crime Lab for finger printing. We are told it could take one and a half to two years to get that done because of the backlog. We have and continue to contact everyone we can think of to get her possessions back. For me, I just want it back to touch, read, to experience some kind of closure on that piece of all this.

Today I received a return email from a really great female detective with CPD. She says go to the top, the Chicago Police Chief, Phil Cline, and talk to him. My prayer request is this: That I can reach him, that I can clearly explain to him the importance of getting Laurie's stuff back and that I can do it with a thankful heart.
Would you please pray for this for us? I try to discern God's timetable or His reason for this delay. I don't think that I am out of God's will in wanting the stuff back. Looking to Him...
