almost time
"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you."
Genesis 28:12
I am packing to leave for Africa [very] soon. I feel so at peace. We can feel
all the prayers. As sad as I am to leave Matt and the girls, I am equally as
excited to finally meet our babies and love on them. When we joyfully said
YES to God's calling to adopt, I imagined this time. The last minute
preparations, the heart-breaking goodbyes, & the joy of knowing I
would soon tell a child, that possibly felt unwanted and unloved, that they
had a family that wants to love them. forever.
When we said YES to His calling, I got so ridiculously excited. Excited knowing that He chose children for us LONG ago. Children who would happen to be born 1/2 way across the world. Children that grew in someone else's womb...and my heart. Children that needed to be taught that they were NEVER really fatherless....they have the greatest Father of all.
It is almost time to meet those children. We are so thankful.
