The Journey Begins

Today is the day. We leave OKC about noon today and travel to Miami, we will spend the night in Miami before traveling on to Guatemala City in the morning. Our church is in the process of a "100 days of prayer" campaign and I thought today's was important.

"Do you realize today that God is thinking about you? Can you count the grains of sand on the volleyball court today? Of course not, yet that is the illustration God uses to describe how often He thinks of you. Praise Him today for His great love for your. Live today like you know He loves you."

This is important because God's hand is clearly at work in our adoption process, from providing the resources to make the adoption financially possible to His protection of our daughter. As Col 1:16 says, we have value, meaning, and purpose because God is the Creator; he also made us in His image. That does not only apply to those in Edmond, America, or people of our own skin color; this applies to all of God's children across the world. Thank you for following our journey and for keeping us in your prayers.

I thought of you when I woke up this morning! My dad told me yesterday that you were leaving Monday. You should be in Miami now. Good luck sleeping tonight! I pray now that you have a journey blessed with God's favor at every turn. I pray for your ability to savor the moment you first see, then hold, your daughter who has been yours for so many months now from a distance. We look forward to reading all about it this week. Congratulations that your journey has begun!
Love,
