Ready to Go



I am leaving for Europe tomorrow. I am so excited to meet my new little boy! Elijah is just a little peanut who has turned two years old recently. He is younger than Caleb was when I brought him home. Elijah is absolutely adorable and I can't wait to hold him in my arms and tell him that his Mama is here. I am unable to post any photos of him until the adoption is complete.:( I wish I could show you how beautiful he is. He really is precious!!

This will be the first time that I have been away from Caleb, even for a night. He is staying with friends of ours who just adore him, so I know that he will be loved and have fun while I am away. But I will MISS him terribly. He will be coming with me on my second trip though, when I return to pick up Elijah.

This trip will be an adventure, that's for sure. . The morning after I arrive in Europe, I will have my appointment and then I will be able to see Elijah that same day.:)

This has been an amazing journey, one that has had its share of bumps and disappointment along the way. God had a plan for me that was different than the plan I had for myself. I didn't understand it at the time, but I accepted it as I waited to see God's plan unfold. When I look at Elijah's photo, I now understand. This beautiful little hidden angel was waiting for us all along. God is Good!

"I say this because I know what I am planning for you," says the Lord. "I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future."
Jeremiah 29:11 NCV

    I'm so happy for you and the boys, it sounds like it's all turning out perfectly! We'll watch for updates and photos when possible for you to post. The scripture at the bottom of your post is just right! Your adoptions give me hope.
