Our bags are essentially packed and our backpacks filled to the brim! They will not be light to carry! We'll be going through all our paperwork today to make sure we don't leave anything behind. We're carrying 2 copies of our dossier just in case something happens to one of them. We had our travel meeting yesterday with all the travel group and the travel coordinator, Kristen. She really had her work cut out for her. Bless all of us, we lost telephone connections and all of us had to reconnect! But in the end, it all worked out and lasted 1.5 hours and was very informative.
Kevin and I would like to thank all of you for your encouragement, love, prayers, and support and gifts! God has truly blessed us beyond our wildest imagination!
To our small group: You guys are the bomb! Never would have dreamed this would all be happening so fast! Fasting and prayer really does work doesn't it! We know you will be doing this again from Friday night to Saturday evening and gathering as a group. We covet your prayers and know we will be included in this time of worship and praise. Thanks be to God. You guys have been awesome. Jamie and Karen, you're next! We continue to pray for your referral for your wonderful and blessed child! Hopefully, soon! We will be praying this during the same time.
To our families: You all know that God is our rock and our firm foundation! For without Him, we are nothing and can do nothing. Remember, He goes with us, before us and behind us. He is in complete control and will protect us. You all have been a true blessing and encouragement. Thank you for all you have done and for what you have given us. We are who we are because of each of you .
To our friends, church, and coworkers: What can we say? God has truly blessed us. We feel all of your prayers, well wishes, hugs, support and encouragement. Everyone has helped us get through this tremendously long paper pregnancy! I think it's been longer than an elephant's! :)
KEVIN SAYS HE'S GOING THROUGH LABOR PAINS NOW!! :) LOL! We can't wait to meet Andrew on Sunday and for you all to see the blessing God has given us upon our return.
"May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
This verse came from Kristen at AWAA today as an encouragement as we leave for China to be united with our children. What a powerful verse! Thanks be to God from which all blessings flow!
So long from Greensboro. Next post, China! (If everything works there!)
Love to you all,
Lisa
