Bon Voyage...Again!

Well, it is my last night in the U.S. for a little while, so I wanted to again say "Bon Voyage." It has been a wild day trying to get everything rounded up and packed away. This morning, I met my dad, and he took the boys to their home in Tennessee. As I was driving there, the thought hit me, "Wow. This is the last time it will just be me and the boys." I must say I had a quiet cry over that as I drove (without the boys noticing). It was a bittersweet time, as I thought about how much I loved them and how much I would really miss them while I am gone.

Then, the parable of the lost sheep came to my mind. I thought of Jesus going after the "one" and leaving the 99 who were already in the fold. This thought comforted me a great deal as I thought of our little "sheep" here in safe and loving arms, and our little "lost" one there, waiting to be found.

Abraham and Micah,
We love you very much, my sons. You are our precious children who our Father has blessed us with. We will see you again very soon, and your sister will be with us. You will love her, and she will love you. We will love her with our Father's love that He gives to us. We are a family in the Lord forever.

Ellie,
We are on our way to you. We are setting out to find you and bring you into the flock. We will search you out until you are safe in our family. We love you and can't wait to get to know you.

Thank you all who have helped us, supported us with prayers and gifts. You are a special part of this journey and of Ellie's life. You are a a partner of this journey with the Lord, and we are so thankful, grateful and excited for what the Lord has in store for us as well as the blessings He has for you.

May all we do bring glory, honor and praise to His Name, the name of Yeshua (hebrew for Jesus), Our Messiah, Our Savior, Our Shepherd, Our Deliver, Our Soon Coming King.
