The count down!!

The count down is on! I am so excited! very soon I will get to hold little Hannah in my arms and meet her for the first time. My suit cases are already full! I am taking so much. I have everything that I need to care for Hannah while I am there. Diapers, clothes, formula, everything! I have 19 cans of formula that was given to me by the food bank here in our little town.. For christmas Kenny bought me a new camera! I am set!
I have had a lot of distractions going on lately. I really need prayer to keep focused. I really want to be spending a lot of time with the lord. Pray that the distractions will stop for me. Or at least I will be able to get on the right trac.
To everyone who has been given much, much is required. Luke 12:48
Going to Haiti is going to be a life changing trip.
I need your prayers!
thanks!

TICKETS!!

I am flying on January 13th to January 20th. I am so excited. Kenny is very excited for me. He said "you get to go and finally meet our new daughter!" God has shown himself it a awesome way with this. Today I was looking online for tickets. I have told Emma that person going with me that God wanted me to pay for her ticket. When God says so we need to just walk and obey. I really was not sure how it was going to happen. I put the tickets on Hold- went to the mailbox and there it was! A check for the perfect amount.. I cant tell you what it meant to me. We serve a mighty God! It was great confirmation that we are supposed to go together and he is in charge!
One more thing. I went to a meeting last night and was sharing about going to see Hannah and someone spoke up to tell me they would fill my suitcase with formula and baby cereal from the food bank in our little town. She told me if I didn't take it, it would go to chickens! Wow. what a blessing!
Keep praying God keeps opening doors for me. I cant wait. Some of you know that my oldest is getting married on the 29th and then Christmas.... January 13 is going to come fast!

But because you say so, I will

I get to GO!

I get to go and see our new daughter in January! I am so excited. I am excited for the journey and for what God will do in me through the trip. I think I am just as excited to spend time with another mom adopting as well. We are going to go together. She is adopting 2 children and has gone before. So those of you that want to worry about me going alone, don't. I will bejust fine. God will have us covered. I just know my heart will forever be changed and I am ready.
We are not threw the IBESR yet. I am praying that we will be before I go. God's timing is always perfect.
Hope you all like the new pictures as well!
Lets just keep praying!

NOT YET!

Our number is not up yet!
That is OK though. I trust God completely with his timing and I would have had a hard time going to Haiti with Kristy's wedding coming up and all that needs to be.
I have been praying and am feeling like God has us prepared for a long haul. I will continue to pray God will move things quickly but I have to say I will be surprised if the paperwork gets complete before next year in October.
It feels strange to be able to look that far off but some things are worth waiting for.
Haiti is a country of different ways than what we would understand. We have many more things to get threw before we are finished. We really have just began.
Lets just keep praying covering and protection over our little Hannah.
I don't think that I will get any pictures until Christmas or there around.
I pray that we will get through IBESR and the first of the year I may get to go and see this sweet little one.
I can not wait to see her running around this house and playing with her big sister!!
God has given me visions of her doing just that so I claim them and trust God will see this through to completion!!
Praise the Lord! He is in control!
