Emotions are running high today. We went to the airport last night to see a friend return from China with their precious daughter. Emma is absolutely precious. She was shy when they got in but by the time we were leaving she was on the floor playing with her cousins. TOOO CUTE!!!! Congrats Kim and Mike.
The time has now come for us to go. Being at the airport made it all "real." We thought next week, we will be walking thru the gate with our 4. Only a week. We all know how fast a week goes. AHHH!!! The trip will be such a whirlwind..... Anyway, it is here.
Asking for prayers for J'Dyn. We had our family devotional time in the morning and took time to tell J'Dyn and Kayleb the details with everything. Kayleb was very cool with everything and is excited to go spend time with his buddy, Grandpa Ron. He said he has plans to farm, feed the animals, do a little "gatoring", ride on the tractor, shoot guns, shoot the bow, and visit other farms. I guess grandpa will be a bit busy next week. :)
J'Dyn asked tons of questions about medicines in Africa. She saw our first aid kit and wanted to know if we would use it. Then she asked, "what if the medicine does not work for you over there?" We explained we would not be gone that long and that we would be back to get medicine if we needed it. She started to cry and said she just wanted to us not to get sick. ??? Last night when we were putting the boys to bed, they said that J'Dyn told them she is afraid we are going to die and does not want us to get sick. Poor baby! We will talk to her today. I think she is going to have a really hard time tomorrow. May the Lord give us the right words to say to her. Please pray for her.
Well, busy day today. Off tomorrow. YEH!!!

Oh, J'Dyn has broken my heart! What a precious little girl with such an innocent tiny heart. I am praying that her Father God will bless her with the "peace that passes understanding." May her peaceful week pass quickly so she can be home with her sweet family!
ReplyDeletePraying for J'dyn. I will ask Claire & Ben to pray for her as well. (He recites Joshua 1:9 to Claire when she's afraid.)
ReplyDeleteI need to go to bed or maybe I should stay up & plan to sleep on the plane... :)
