Leaving on a jet plane...

We are roughly 6 hours from leaving at the time I'm writing this blog.  6 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe that we're finally here at this point after all this time of praying, waiting, paperwork, waiting, praying, waiting, paperwork, staring at pictures, praying, waiting, paperwork...well, you get the idea!

Please pray for health for us and MJ, for safety for travel, for smooth transitions, for proper bonding and attachment, for our children that we leave at home, for our 3 parents as they care for them and that God would be glorified and go before us!!  Pray for Lifeline, our adoption agency who do this for so many families regularly...and all over the world!!  Pray for her little heart to be prepared as much as possible for a 2 year old...and pray for her nanny who has taken care of her and been her mother figure all this time as she will grieve for her.

I wish I could describe all of the emotions that we're experiencing right now, but there are so many.  We're trying not to be anxious for anything as we know we shouldn't be, but as we're human, that does creep in sometimes.  It's overwhelming in some ways, but so exciting to know that we're days away from meeting our precious daughter that we only know through pictures, a few videos and descriptions.

Thank you for following us on this journey.  Thank you to all who have supported us financially and through prayer...and some through impatience, frustration, excitement, fear and sometimes tears (that certainly goes for Amy and Karla).  We can't wait to post the next time from across the world...this is the great adventure!!!!
