Leaving on a jet plane......

Kevin and I are currently sitting in the Chicago airport waiting to board our plane to go to Ethiopia.  The long awaited day has arrived. We are leaving to meet our little girl that God has perfectly chosen for our family. As I write this I reflect on God's faithfulness.  He has ordained this all and has all the details already worked out.  We have seen and experienced the love and support from so many people over the last several days. He has answered so many prayers from the big to the small.  Let me share a few, our parents have graciously moved into our home to care for the other kids.  Let me tell you this is HUGE for me and the kiddo's, friends have brought meals so they don't have to worry about cooking, we have received two checks that blew us away, it was exactly what we were short for this trip. Hannah's birth mom appeared it court and her testimony was approved. Most importantly, people have been praying us through. I have truly felt the power if prayer.  God has filled me with such joy and peace.  I have felt God holding me through all this.  He is going before me and behind me. What then shall I fear. But that only comes from getting on your knees and others praying.  I aske you please keep those prayers coming, for safety, health, joy, for our kids at home and our parents, and a wonderful time meeting out little girl. God is so good, he's so good to me!
