17 days and counting down!!

     17 days and counting..sounds like a reality show!! Oh,wait...it is reality....we really are leaving!!  After looking over 15 different itineraries for 2 days now, we just booked our tickets and so now we really feel like we are going somewhere.  We were actually having a hard time getting out of Norfolk as we leave at the start of Spring Break here.  Every flight to Atlanta was booked except a flight in the wee hours of the morning.  We took it:)

     As I have been thinking and praying today, here is my thought for the day.  In less than a month, Seth will no longer be called orphan, but instead son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend!! He has no idea how many people already love and adore him.   How awesome is our God that he had a plan for a little six year old boy on the other side of the world, who was probably very close to giving up on ever getting a family to call his own, and that he would include us in that plan.  We are so very humbled by the way that God sets the lonely in families.  Ok, enough tears and back to singing....I have actually been humming the song.....

"We are leaving on a jet plane, don't know when we'll be back again".........all day today!!  Actually, that is the truth.....as we don't have a set interview date, we will be at the mercy of the Mongolian government when we arrive.  So please pray, pray, pray that they just cant wait to see our sweet faces once we arrive:) We don't get to meet Seth until after the interview and then a committee meeting to say that we are Approved!! It is very likely we will be in the country for a week or more before we get to meet him.  

We will post details of our  travel plans and any dates that we know of as we get them so you can keep praying Seth home!!!

 

Blessings to our faithful friends,
