In twenty-four hours we will board a plane. A plane that will take us to Ethiopia. A plane ride that will forever change my life. Am I ready? Everything is in order, but I can't help but know in the back of my mind that everything in my life will be different after this trip. Not just our day-to-day lives with the kids here, but also just my perceptions and responses to things will be different after being in Africa, meeting Kaleab and finally experiencing a place I've only imagined.
If you wake up tomorrow and we cross your mind, please say a little prayer for us. Pray that all of our luggage arrives because it is 85% donation items. Pray that God's peace fills me while we fly (remember, I HATE to fly) and pray that our children's hearts are strong and courageous as they embark on a new life, with new people they've never met. And pray that this new momma is renewed with purpose and that God receives ALL of the glory.
I will try to post as much as I can from ET, especially about the Kolfe pizza party! We love you all & cannot wait to introduce you to our family of four!
Hugs & Love,
Le & Lindsey

And on the way back you'll be busy playing with them so it will go faster! Have a great trip! You are right...you will be forever changed after Africa.

We will continue to pray for you guys and praise God because of where He has lead you. Praying for the kids and Kaleab too. I cannot wait for the photos and stories and just all of the fun blogs once you guys get back and get settled!
WHAT... already???!! I am beyond excited and I will pray like I've never prayed before.
I remember driving to the hospital to have Isabella and thinking I totally knew what I was getting into and I didn't! it was worse (haha) AND way more GLORIOUS than I ever could've imagined.
take care of each other and those precious children!

Lindsey,
God put you smack dab in the middle of my mind ALL night. Our family is covering you in prayers. Trusting you will know His perfect peace and His strenght will be your promise. I can't wait to hear how you are loving on your kids...and all the others. Let me know IF you see there is something that is needed in Addis but has not been mentioned, let me know.
Love,
Lori
