One More Sleep.....

just one more sleep until we will be reunited with our boys

it has been just over 1 year that this journey began

God had moved us off a different path and onto this one...

 

tomorrow we will leave early to drive for just over 2 hours

to be reunited with them for the last time

 

It is a bittersweet reunion....

as we are happy and leaving with them for a new beginning.....

there is a family that they will be leaving behind

a family that will have to say goodbye to these two special little boys

after almost a year of pouring love into these two boys they will be saying good bye

 

for whatever reason....God brought us together

two families over 5,000 miles apart

united by and through the Father

 

1 John 4:7-9

 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

 

we talked about how never in our wildest dreams would we have guessed that we would

be where we are today

how 19 years ago when we got married more children were not a part of our plans...

we are often asked "why" we would be doing this....

even just a few days ago someone at the airport asked "what is wrong with you?"

 

we talked about how and why those kinds of things change...

only because we give up our own plans, perspectives and reasoning

and we now strive to live a life that reflects the plans, perspectives and reasoning of God

 

Ephesians 4:21-22

when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.  You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds

 

All for His glory....

In His Embrace,

laurie
