A small (under 4 pound!) box is on it's way to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It contains a small outfit, a pair of shoes, socks, a little book, a truck, some candy and a photo album of our family. What was hard to package up was the amount of love, excitement, joy we are feeling all from a little picture of a little 3 year old boy.
How do we let #3 know that we are so anxious to meet him? That we love him already? That we can't wait to bring him home and give him a life filled with hope, opportunity, love, safety, family? How is it that a picture of a small child all the way across the world can evoke such emotion? How can it be that a tiny little description can be read with such fervor? Our hearts are ready.
We are waiting to hear when our court date will be. We are praying that the court date will be soon, that we will pass the 1st time, that his required TB test is negative & that #3 will be here with us really soon. We are continuing to trust that God's timing is perfect. That's a little harder to do now that we know who he is!!
We are praising God for the incredible way He has chosen to bless us with this amazing child.
