Here we go again

Here we go again trusting god and this journey he is taking us on. Trying to Treasure The Journey!

Philippians 4:6-7 

6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Its really hard to believe that it has been 3 months since we left Haiti. Since we left 1/2 of our hearts in this poverty stricken, politically challenged, broken 3rd world country. It really doesn't feel like 3 months we have been so busy since we got home trying to get all our paperwork done, trying to get the house ready for the inspection ( did I mention we missed our house passing inspection by 5 square feet) Thats right we have been in the middle of a huge remodel of our garage adding about 800 square feet to our home so we can make things work and be able to pass the home inspection. You see our original plan to adopt 2 girls we had enough room 3 bedrooms plenty of space... Then god showed us his plan in an amazing little boy we met at the orphanage. Zach has been doing all the work with a little help of family and friends and he is just beaten down. It hurts my heart to see him so worn out and stressed over this project. We do however see the light at the end of the tunnel! While we are gone on this trip some friends and family will be painting then carpet will be laid and hopefully the kids beds will be put together!! Upon our arrival home we will be in full force extreme makeover mode moving stuff and getting all the rooms ready... We will have 3 days then Cara our social worker will be coming out for her visit!! We can do it
"all things are possible if you believe" Mark 9:23

Packing for this trip has been much easier I am actually almost packed and ready to go. I knew what things were a must and what things we could leave at home... I am not nervous about flying or leaving the country. I am not so nervous about the PAP airport because I now know for myself what to expect. It won't exactly be comfortable but we know what to expect to a certain point that is...

We are well I am nervous about meeting Juvens I am nervous about how to act around him what if he doesn't like the things I am bringing him what if he doesn't like us what if I cant communicate with him and I dont know what he wants what he needs... Zach is just excited to go and play with him... Zach feel in love with all the little boys he seen how much fun they were having last time and he wanted that! Now don't get me wrong he also feel in love with our little haitian princess but we have 2 boys thats what he is use too!! Oh and did I mention that our little haitian princess is now walking/running!!

Oh my how fun this should be!

We are so thankful for our family, our haitian family and our friends. With out you all this would not be possible. We ask that you please continue to pray for us. Pray for our boys as they will miss us and they long for the day when there brother and sister get to come home. We leave this Sunday and will land in Haiti early Monday morning we will get to spend 4 days and 3 nights with the kids and we plan on soaking it all up!!

For now we continue to pray that god will continue to move mountains and allow the things to happen so our kiddos can come home.

Blessings
