See you later!

The time has come! Tomorrow we leave for Orlando to drop off the girls and Sunday morning we are outta this country! Thanks for the prayers. Satan has been busy but God has been busier! Please add an extra request to our list for Elizabeth's health. I had to take her to the doctor today and we are not sure what is wrong. She is fine except for some nasty bowel issues. I just pray they resolve quickly on their own so that no one has to take her in for tests. I am trusting that she is in God's hands and He will protect her no matter what the next steps (if any) are. Other than that things are in good shape. Eddie's Mom got here yesterday and got my kitchen sparkling right away, like she always does. :-) There are still some final things to pack but we don't have to hurry tomorrow. Eddie and the girls gave me an early birthday present of a locket with the girls' pictures in it. I cried and just hope I can wear it on the trip without endangering it.

As difficult as it has been to prepare to say goodbye to the girls, I am so excited about this trip! God has really been teaching me about trusting Him with all things, including HIS children that I have the privilege of being a mother too. I know this will be a great experience for Eddie and I to share in something bigger than ourselves together and help define where we want to go next in our lives as a family. I will admit, I'm exhausted from all this preparation and anticipation. As excited as I am to go, I'm looking forward to coming back without deadlines to face! So in closing, thank you for reading this. I know it means you are interested in our lives and I hope you will say a little prayer for us. I also hope by sharing in our experience it will inspire you to find some area of your life to take a leap of faith in and be amazed at what God can show you! Looking forward to sharing all the details when we get back! Tricia
