I've been anticipating this journey for 596 days. I have 9 more days of anticipation and then something wonderful will happen...something I've waited to have happen since the day I said good-bye. In 9 days, I will say hello to my beautiful Ugandan children.
I'M. SO. EXCITED!!!
On Thursday, I will fly to meet Alesha and then we will jet off to Uganda for a few days before heading to Kenya to see the rest of our kids.
That's 605 days total. I've missed, loved, and prayed for these children since the day we said good-bye, waiting for God's timing and blessing to make the journey to this part of their lives. The journey has come together with grace and I feel truly blessed to be able to make this trip. It will be both strange and wonderful to see how much they have grown and changed, but to also see how much they are still the same.
I want them to know that although we are many, many miles apart, they are still loved. I want them to understand that even though we won't relive the 24/7 life of tour that they are not forgotten.
My prayer now is that I will be strong enough for a second time to say good-bye .
