Let's GO!!

Well friends...Thank you!!!
We are going to pick up our children in the next couple weeks. I prayed not to long ago that we could all be together for Valentines day and God is faithful.
The girls are beside themselves with joy and ready for the sleepovers they get to have while Rich and I are out of country.
Thank you all ahead of time for your prayers on travel, connecting with kids, and blending the family. These are three things I have been praying for and I would love for you to join me.
Rich has been working hard to raise up the funds for our final travel and the kids Visas.
The house is as ready as it can be and as for me...I am getting there.
I will post soon with the homecoming pictures!!!!
LeAnn will come on while we are out there and she will update everyone.
Thank you all one more time, I cant express my gratefulness.

2 more weeks??

Well friends we are back to the beginning...not really but, I think we have read this before. I heard today there is a little more paperwork on the other end that needs to be completed. Then we are going. I am ready when they call. We have received donations from some very kind and wonderful friends(Scott & Traci), had a beautiful shower(thank you all), and now we are awaiting the fly now call(email).

I can not tell you all how crazy it is. I feel as I sit in His rest with the peace only He can give me I can not help but to want to DO MORE. I am going to read a book and stay packed so I am ready on to go asap! We have so many people offering to help and I can not tell you how grateful we are to have ALL OF YOU!!!

LeAnn has started her fine arts program today and then tomorrow her book club starts, and finally back to school on Tuesday! This year has allot to offer her and she is going for it all.

Laryssa and I are going to check out a dance school nearby, that is her passion and I see how much she misses it. She is also getting back into Olympians and school this week, not so eager but ready. She misses her friends and is looking forward to seeing them all.

Rich has the studio running, this family studying, and his mind is, as always on overtime. He is so wonderful and we as a family are very grateful for his dedication and hard work.

And as for me....well I am just a "Girl Gone Wise!" This is my year to be in His peace. I am ready to loose the I and move on to the HE. I have learned in the past few months that man no matter how much they love you they will and do hurt you. It is never about me I need to always make everything about HIM. My goal is simple Honor and Glorify the one who created me. OK not so simple but it is what I am going to strive for.

I thank you all for reading and praying for us. Soon I will be able to show some real cool complete family pictures, and I mean REALLY COOL!

Thank you all for everything and remember to respond to this if you wish or inbox me on face book. I long for prayer and support during this waiting season. I will post soon as I hear and let you all know when we will be home.

Still waiting :(

Well I do wish I had better news but as of today they still have no confirmation for us. I am just resting in the fact that this is not my doings and I will travel for my children when HE says. There is no paperwork out of order. The families are all in check, the agency has done all they need to, so now we are waiting for the Embassy. They are running a little behind do to holidays so, I am trying to be patient.

Yes I do appreciate all your prayers and now I need you to pray for me to be content. OK with the timing, OK with the waiting, and OK with things moving at the pace of someone else.

Thank you all for all you have been doing. I know I would never be able to get through this alone. I first thank GOD! then my (dh) darling husband and my (dc) darling children, and then all of YOU!!!!

Please keep praying I am ready to go so if the word comes in we may leave FRIDAY!!!!
