It Is Getting Closer

Well, the day is getting closer for me to leave. I am very excited to finally meet our daughter. All kinds of emotions are running through my heart and mind right now. I just keep thinking about what it will be like to hold the little girl that I have stared and studied her picture for so many months. To see that beautiful smile that she has given in so many pictures. I know that as the days get closer our lives will be changing, and changing for the good. It is nice for things to stay the same sometimes, but change can bring so many wonderful things. I also wonder if she knows that she is getting a mommy and a daddy? I know that she is only 4, but when she sees me, will she know I am her mommy? I think that is something that God will help her feel and understand. I think of the time I will spend with just her and how it will be something that we will share for the rest of our lives. I know that everything that we have gone through to get to this moment will all fade away the moment that I hold her and get ready to bring her home. I think about Thomas and how I could not even imagine our life without him in it. How it seems like he has been with us forever. I know that after we have Josie, that in a short while, she too will be like she has always been with us. Just keep us in your prayers in the days and weeks ahead. I have developed a sinus infection and have just felt kind of lousy for a couple of days, but I am taking medicine to get me better before Saturday. I guess I am just glad I got it this week and not next week. Soon my bags will all be packed and ready to go on the journey that God has created and organized at His perfect timing. I will also look forward to the day that I return to my whole family.
