A little over a week ago, we discovered that despite our plans we will now travel to pick up Malachi and Isaac. They will not be escorted here as we had planned on throughout the whole adoption process. So, the week has been filled with reading up on travel itineraries, needed items, and necessary vaccinations. Today, I visited two different doctors in order to receive the vaccines I need to travel. So, tonight, I sit here with tender arms and a very nervous heart. I have been vaccinated for yellow fever, typhoid fever, Hepatitis A and B, and given anti-malaria medicine. Physically, I am ready to "go"! Emotionally, I am really quite nervous!
As I was getting my shots and my nerves were high, I thought about the end result...holding my sons and bringing them home to be part of their forever family. I would have endured more shots, more medicine...if that is what it took to bring them home. And, then it hit me, my Saviour endured beatings, ridicule, and death so that He could bring me home to be part of His forever family...WOW!!!
