A journey about to change directions.....

After three years of waiting...  of paperwork... tears...prayers...fund raisers... hugs... long talks with dear friends...crying on those same shoulders...  two trips to Haiti... planning and preparing... packing and bonding...  We finally see the light at the end of our tunnel...   Our daughters Visa's will be applied for on June 17th at 8:00am in Port-au-Prince, Haiti...  by the end of that week, they will be ready to leave to come home...  We are going to bring our daughters home...  

When I opened that very special email with this most amazing news...  I think my blood pressure shot up to a very dangerous level...(I think it still might be there!)...  my body began to go numb and my head started to tingle...  my breath got shallow...  OH MY GOSH...  it's finally happening...  after all this time...  my kids are coming home!  My bosses son-in-law was standing by my desk, so he was the first one to know... what a blessing to have such an amazing family to work for... what a blessing it is to have the family... group of friends... and church family ...  such love and support... much celebration went on today... pure - genuine - joy and celebration was surrounding us today.....I am not sure it's fully sunk in yet....  I am overjoyed to the point of no return!!!! 

We are hoping to fly out of Presque Isle on Father's Day... and arriving in Haiti the day after... we will spend a few day's in country with our girls... we need to give them time to get reacquainted with us... (we have not seen them for over a year).  We will fly home that next weekend!!!! 

 God is good... amazing and so faithful!!!  As I reflect on these last three years... I am in awe of how God was our strength...(just like He promises!)...  He sustained us... (just like He promises to!).  He provided all our needs... (just like He promises!).  Why do we doubt... He is amazing!
