Here we go!

Our day started with an explosion of news!

We are going! 

Going to see our sweet “Janie”!

And soon.

Like in 3 days soon.

So that would be Saturday.

This Saturday.

YAY!

Wahoo.

Jumping up and down.

But, I want to cry.

And jump up and down.

Then cry.

Yup, several emotions going on right now.

And a big list of things to do BEFORE we go!

Because, we are after all, talking about a cross-country flight here.

Leaving on Saturday, arriving in country on Monday, early morning. 

Really early.

Think  2am early.

Then probably to our first meeting around 8:30am, that same Monday.

So yup, I am tired already just thinking about it!

And then there’s the scheduling of 5 little munchkins.

And the coordinating of rides, and the after school activities, 

and the homework and teacher emails, 

…and all of the other stuff!

But through it all, God provides.  

He continues to provide.

His hand of grace has been upon us.

We rejoice in His faithfulness.

We rejoice in how He delights in delighting us.

Truly, we are delighted.

And overwhelmed.

And humbled.

And completely thankful and grateful.

Amazingly the funds have come in.

Amazingly the paperwork was completed.

Amazingly the timing, (although later than I would have preferred), does seem to be perfect.

So rejoice in the Lord, again rejoice.

For He is faithful.

We covet your prayers as we travel.

 Please do pray for safety, 

for “Janie’s” reception of us, 

and for smooth transitions for our children.

 Pray also for the strength of the grandparents. 

They will need it.
