Praying, Planning, Packing & Panicking


We are at home tonight and it is hard to believe that we are going to be boarding a plane in less than 3 weeks to start our physical journey to Ethiopia. You can probably imagine all the emotions that are invading us right now.
We are busy creating our list and checking it twice as well as adding to it daily.

Along the way we hope to be able to update everyone about our journey. And we hope to be able to share pictures of our new little girl soon.

Honestly, this is not easy and we have many concerns we are taking before our Sovereign Creator, Sustainer, and Lord.

We covet your prayers! Listed are a few areas of uncertainty that lend themselves to create anxious hearts.
  • Will we forget something that we need?
  • How will our youngest (16 month old) do on the 18 hour plane ride?
  • Will our stomachs and digestive tracks remain friendly?
  • How will our new little girl respond to us?
  • How will we feel when we get to see our little girl face to face?
  • Will we love the coffee as much as we hope we do?
  • How will we handle leaving Ethiopia without our new princess?
And these are just to name a few.
On the flip side are hearts are soaring with excitement to see what God is doing and will continue to do! To Him be honor and Glory!!!

It is time to pack a few more things.
