Well we have less than a week left before we leave! :) I am sooooo excited I can't sit still these past couple days. I am all packed LOL but keep repacking, organizing, thinking of things I need to get still, etc.... BUT...... I want to share the incredible work that God has done for this trip! Not only was this trip somewhat spur of the moment but God has provided every step of the way from Airline tickets to gift bags. Here is a recap of all God has done for this trip:
We started out needing $200 in luggage sponsors to bring over the Peanut butter for the hospital ministry we are doing, GOD PROVIDED it in less than 24 hours, we needed atleast 50 jars of peanut butter for the care packages, GOD PROVIDED it and we actually have about 75 jars now :) our flight's got re routed this week and is actually a better flight now AND allows for more luggage without costing us a dime GOD PROVIDED, we were in need of 50 gift bags for the care packages GOD PROVIDED it and last but not least we wanted to put a beenie baby or small toy for each child in the hospital that the care packages will go to and a Dr's office locally had been collecting donations over the past several months and when I got home and started going thru the donations, guess what was in one of the tubs :) of course 65 beenie babies, new with tags GOD PROVIDED what we thought would be impossible for this trip!
I am in awe of all the blessings God has provided us for the trip and for our family over the past several weeks.
Please be in prayer for our safety as we travel, our children to adjust well to both of us being gone, our health while we are in country and specifically for our trip. One of the primary reasons we are taking this trip is to build a relationship with Kevin and William so once we bring them home they will adjust better. With the Sierra Leone law and gov't still not moving quickly on the adoptions we feel the need to provide them with that Mother/Father bond we will need to start our family with them.
Thank you all for your prayers and support!! We love each and every one of you!
