Well, as I sit here with some more packing to do and cleaning, I cannot believe we head to Chicago today..... my heart is very heavy for the girls. I weep off and on about how much I will miss them! God will take care of everything. This is HIS plan, not mine. We are just trying to obey!
Every time I look at Levi's photo I cannot believe he is really going to be ours in 4 short days. ;-)
We have prayer requests of course, that our travel is safe and uneventful, but more importantly, that Levi's heart is ready for us as his forever family and that Bekah and Leah can handle us being gone for 2 weeks. I am certain they will struggle, but loads of toys and games are packed of their favorites and they are in great hands!!! (THANK YOU MOM'S!!!)
We will also miss our church family! All prayers are welcomed! ;-)
Much to do!!!! We will check in from the other side of the globe!!!
We love you Levi and can't wait to meet you!!! 4 more sleeps buddy!
