Cannot believe it's time to post the final post before we depart. The suitcases are by the door, the kids are tucked in their beds, and many prayers continue from our lips to God's ears. Doug is doing pretty well and is really being a trooper since his surgery. The kids did great tonight, and Doug and I aren't doing too badly ourselves. Thank you to everyone who has wished us well and especially for the prayers.
In the morning, we will head out at 8:00 to the Louisville airport. Doug's parents and our kiddos will accompany us to the airport to send us off. I am sure that will be a pretty sight...:-) But now, I am focusing on Christ. On the ONE who set the lonely in my heart for this little one. The God who molded my heart over the past 3 1/2 years. The God who created me to be her Mommy. He has called us to this place and will cover every detail with His mighty hand. God is sooo awesome. So looking forward to meeting Lily Hope face to face! On Sept. 6th we will FINALLY meet her. Hold her. Kiss her. Rock her. LOVE HER. Forever!!!
Pray.
Be the HOPE for an orphan!

Just thinking about you! The time has come! Can't wait to hear all about it! The first time you see her, how she smells, what her first reaction to you is. Your thoughts on making that way tooooo hot Chinese bottle! Your thoughts on the traffic in the city and the fact that you will definitely see at least 20 motorcycles stacked six feet high with anything you can thing of behind the driver! Take it all in and remember it for Lily! My heart is overflowing! See you on the 17th!!!!! xxoxoxoxo
