until the journey begins.
or maybe, just maybe, the journey is now.
John and I had the chance to say a bit about our journey
at a small home-church, called Agape, last night.
The pastor of this church has been telling people
about us, and these boys for a month or so,
Last night I got to do what I love the most...
Share our God Story.
I'm not known for my public speaking...
but those have heard say that it's easy to hear my heart
for Kolfe through all of my tangents and stumbles.
Honestly, that's because this isn't my journey,
it isn't my husband's either...
This is God's Journey, and we're
just hangin' on for the ride!
A year ago,
I would have thought you were making some a joke,
if you had told me we would have sons
in Ethiopia that feel every bit like our own,
AND that I would be preparing to fly to ET
to visit them for the SECOND TIME!!
(not to mention flying either by myself,
or with people I have never met before)
"NO way!" would have been my answer...
and yet, when God has a plan and a purpose,
and you are willing...
He can change EVERYTHING in an instant.
He will take you on a journey unlike anything
you could have dared to dream.
Something so beautiful, that stretches and challenges you,
and makes you take a look outside of your little world.
4 days from now,
I will kiss my U.S. kids and my hubby goodbye again,
and head into the world of layovers, 8 plane flights,
4+ days of travel, new friendships with
5 people I have never met,
(2 that I have never had any contact with)
and Kolfe boys.
Our Kolfe boys, friends' Kolfe boys,
and sweet Kolfe boys who have yet to
find someone to love them, even from afar.
The prayers of God's people are SO powerful.
Last night as we stood up front and listened to
the church lifting up prayers on our behalf,
I was in awe of how good it feels to
be right where He wants us.

So, two things I ask of you...
1) Please pray for my family here,
and my team and I over there.
Pray that we would be up for whatever
God asks of us in the next two weeks.
2) Think about praying for yourself...
What is it God might be calling YOU to do?
Pray that you would be willing to take His journey.
