WOW! It has been crazy. Yesterday Dan left for a meeting in Denver and will return tonight. In the mean time, Jill McNeil and I put up about 15 more meals, my parents came to visit, homeschooled, got hair cut, and mowed the lawn. I am now tired and have a stuffy nose. I pray it is not a cold and just a run down - I need rest feeling.
We are so ready to go. With that said, I feel like I have a million things to do. We are packed and have most of the ducks in a row. Now it is cleaning and preparing the last minute stuff for the kids to go to WI and for us when we return.
Kids update: Neima is getting treated for swelling in her mouth related to a toothache. Nadia is still in diapers. (I think I said that already??) I have doctor and dentist appts for all of them the week we return. YEH!!! We need prayers that they stay healthy and safe. Prayers also for the plane ride home. I have heard of some nightmares trips. Pray for their comfort, peace and for them to understand us.
I cannot believe we are now at the end of this amazing journey. It is so different than J'Dyn's but the joy and the presence of our Lord is the same. The Lord has been gracious to us and has gotten us thru so much since the beginning of this. We are thankful that He knows the plans He has for us 'cause we could not do it without Him. 15 years ago, Dan and I could have never imagined saying we would have 7 children. Now, the Lord has changed our hearts and our perspectives. We cannot imagine a life without these 4 more coming. It is amazing what can happen with the Lord in your life. If you are reading this and do not know about Jesus, I pray that you find your way to a Bible believing church and / or friend that can tell you about Him. Go to biblegateway.com and look up and read Luke and Romans. There is incredible wisdom and peace in having Jesus in your life. He has transformed my life.
Anyway, 3 days and counting. I cannot believe it! I will continue to blog while we are gone so that you can keep up with what is going on. YEH!!!! IT is almost here.
Blessings to each of you.
