For our precious FSM and FB friends... 2 days, 0 hours, 3 minutes and 196065 heartbeats away from our kiddos!! (yes, I updated this right before I hit post.)
Yesterday at church one of our sweet little friends (she is 5) came up to me and said "Mellie I understand you are raising money for your adoption so I want to give you this". (Yes, she acts way older than 5!) To a child any amount of money is huge, they have no idea the value especially at 5. The gift of her willingness to give brought me to tears. The widow gave her all and God blessed her beyond measure, I pray the same for this precious child of God. Lee-Lee has always held a special place in my heart and I can assure you she will be there forever. Sometimes God gives us something so little that gives us the reassurance He is in this "thing", trust Him. I will hold on to this penny for the rest of my life.
I can't imagine talking, laughing, loving and living together for 4 days just to say goodbye for an undetermined amount of time. I am just not sure how to do this. We need all your prayers this weekend.

Sitting here, reading your blog, imagining the faces of these gorgeous children when they realise that it is THEIR parents who are visiting! It is THEIR mamma and pappa and that THEY will be eating in the guest house with THEIR family..even if for just a few days it is SO GOOD to know that they will be with you.
We love these children very much, they were good friends to our children when we went in April. They are part of our adoptive family too and we will be praying fervently for you as you make your trips.. both ways.
