The past week has been a whirlwind. We have literally been working on this trip every minute after work, every night for weeks. Our weekends have been spent in preparation of our home for our newest sweet angel.
Emotions have been out of control! Our family has been blessed WAY more than ever expected. A couple years ago Jeremy and I decided we were going to try to fund Lucy's adoption slightly different. We saved more and juggled finances at home in hopes to do very little or no fundraising. We were successful and had a couple extremely helpful fundraisers but there were some times it felt overwhelming. We never doubted God's plan for us though. I tried to control situations at times but God always proved Himself. The past few months and weeks we have been blessed with the most generous, kind-hearted, true friends! God sent us Angels! And I have been reminded many times about the size of my faith (Luke 17:6) and when I quit trying to control things...His plan worked! And He provided. I never shared about our doubts or overwhelming feelings so to see all the gifts, love, and prayers come in I KNEW it was God! Who else?!
That feeling when you just know you are doing everything God wants you to do because it can only happen by His hands...so amazing. I'm in awe.
Tomorrow will only get better. We embark on another life-changing event.
Please pray with us specifically for:
-our travels
-Natalee as she returns to her home country and old memories
-and especially Lucy as we expect her to grieve for her nannies and friends when she leaves the orphanage
See you from China, my friends!
(Pure excitement a few days ago when we got to tear off the first countdown!)
Much love,
Sarah
