In five days, our family will travel to China to adopt our boys. We are picking up the older son first and have a scheduled Gotcha Day for 4/14. The younger son will be picked up 4/21. Our family is so excited and feel so blessed by God to be called for this journey. We believe our God is mighty and is in every detail of this path. I know He knows my tomorrow and will provide for us. Personally, there are so many feelings going through me right now such as excitement to get my boys, overwhelmed by packing, anxious for meeting the boys, frustrated for all the people who will have to ride on the airplanes with our family, and love for all my children. I had no idea that this journey would be so emotional and long. This past year has felt like a long time. We knew who our boys were and that we would get them back in July/August of last year. To most, that is not a long time. However, with every day that passes, every milestone, every holiday, and every step in the path our hearts have longed for our boys. We want to meet them and let them know they are loved. I can only imagine that God feels that way with us as His children. He wants us to know Him and to seek Him. So many people turn away from Him and close off their hearts from Him yet He desires us to know Him and love Him. We do what we do because He first loved us and adopted us into His family. Thank you to those who have been apart of this journey with us and have prayed for us.
"And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." I Corinthians 13:13
