We are 3 days from taking a 17+ hour flight to Africa to pick up our boys. We are vaccinated, medicated for malaria, and filled with anxiety. Despite the ominous warnings, we have started our malaria medicine. Apparently, normal side effects are diarrhea, hallucinations, and heightened feelings of sadness/fear/anxiety. Sounds fun, huh?
But, even more troubling is something Brian said the other night. He stated, "Please pray for us...the fairy tale is about to end." Since he said that, I have been thinking about how this is so true. For over a year and half, we have prayed for, planned for, and talked about bringing our boys home. Now, in just a few short days, they will be home. How will our lives change? Will the transition go smoothly? It is one of those moments when you are standing on the precipice of a huge life change and you really have no idea how the next few steps are going to go. So, for now, I am looking at the faces of my boys and trusting in God's goodness...and hanging on for the ride!!!
