We received word today that I will be traveling to get Josephine on Oct. 25!!!!!! Yeah, our little girl is coming home!!!! God has truly been working in this and has obviously had this planned for some time as we had the situation where the $ came through and now the approval and travel date all came in the same week within a few days of each other. I am SO happy! It is bitter sweet for Mike and the boys as they are so excited to get their sister/daughter home, but sad to see their mommy leave. I want them to know that their mommy/wife feels the same way. I can't wait to get Josephine, but I will miss them more than they will ever know.
I think of how many times Josephine has seen the other children come and go at the orphanage and wonder when she will be the one to go. Well, now my little girl, you are the one that will be leaving and the car will be coming for you. Your mommy is coming and we can all be together on Nov. 10 when we come home.
Please keep us in your prayers as the weeks pass and we prepare for me to leave. Pray for Mike and the boys. I know how it feels to be the one left behind to take care of things. Also, pray for me, as I know God will change me and this is a trip that Him and I are taking together. I know what I experience will change me forever, and that is why I know God is calling me to go to Liberia.
