Almost Time!

I cannot believe that we leave in 2 days. Mike and I are feeling the reality of this trip today and it is a bit overwhelming. We are excited, nervous, anxious...did I mention scared? There are just so many things to think about. First off, our flight is 23.5 hours-how on earth will I survive that? Mike will be right by my side the whole time-that does make me feel safe. Then, the procedure! We hear great things-is this going to be great for us too? We are begging God for a miracle. And...when we got our vaccinations, the nurse gave us all this information. Don't get bit by dogs or any other animal because rabies can kill you and don't get bit by bugs because malaria can kill you too. Mike is calm, cool and collected as we are hearing all of this where as I am sitting there asking her to write all of this down and asking her what exactly does it mean when you say it will kill me? I need to know specifics. Oh yeah, and should I wear some sort of a net all around me when I am outside? I mean, all I need is to get malaria, right? Mike thinks I am crazy and I actually am beginning to agree with him.

Anyway, this trip brings about many thoughts and emotions for us. I am praying that we will rest in the assurance that God knows what he is doing. Sometimes, I try really hard to debate those words but I do know the truth. He does know. More then this though, I am praying that it is our turn for a miracle. I hear how selfish this sounds but, if I am going to be honest with you, this has been our prayer for a long time

Thank you for all of your support. We are very blessed and very thankful.
