We received our invitation from IBESR and
we are going to Haiti! They
basically called with two specific weeks and we didn’t dare say no. We instantly said Yes, Yes, Yes!!! We spent the next few hours working on flights
and other arrangements. God’s word says
He will give us the desires of our heart….that is so true! He not only gave us relatively quick dates
but He has worked the dates so that we can see the children at our church’s
orphanage also! We will arrive in Haiti
two days early and spend time with them before going to meet our son! Oh those words….going to meet our son!
We already have
flights booked, hotels booked, chauffeurs arranged and we are starting to
pack. We are putting finishing touches
on the arrangements for Ashley and Travis now.
You can begin praying for me now…..16 days away from my children! GASP! Slowly but surely God has prepared me for this
moment. Exactly 1 year ago I flew to
California to meet Todd on a business trip.
It was my first time leaving the children and it was only for 3
days! And this past fall we both went to
Haiti on our first international trip.
We were slowly working our way into this trip. But, 16 days is a long
time! Whew! I’ll need the prayers and Todd will need them
because he will be dealing with me! Haha! (Not that daddy’s don’t love their children
like mommy’s but since they travel so much for work I think the time away isn’t
as hard for them. They are used to it
more than us mommy’s.)
So, in less than
three weeks we will be meeting and holding our little boy! We will begin to learn his personality and
have a chance to love on him! Now if I
can contain my excitement and begin to put two thoughts together in a row I
might stand a chance of getting everything done in time! : )
I added a new
family picture (with our little man) on our page. Here’s a big picture of our little
guy!!!! (He was 12 months old in this picture and he is 15 months old now.)
