Almost ready to leave

I'm not sure how the minutes/days have gone so quickly!! Two weeks ago, we said, "We have 2 weeks to get ready and packed" (feeling that it was forever). Now, after numerous trips to wal-mart and other stores and packing more than we need for a year, we are almost ready to go. Not only are we ready physically, but also spiritually and mentally. The trip over will probably be a very long one because we are so ready to be there. We have not seen these children in over a year. I can only imagine how ready they are to leave the orphanage and begin a new life with a family!!!
We will not actually see them until next Wednesday or Thursday as we will be in Kiev until then. We know 2 families that are currently in Kiev adopting and are looking forward to spending time with them while we are there. I am sure that we will have much to talk about and Bobby and I have many notes to take about the Ukrainian side of this process.
Our thanks to all of you: family, friends, fellow adoptees, co-workers and neighbors are so inadequate compared to the blessings that you have given us through this journey for the past 2 years. We love you all and thank you so much for the prayers and support that you have given us!!!
Please pray specifically for bonding with our children, a speedy and safe trip (of course we would love to be back in 3-4 weeks), and that we will not miss out on a single blessing that God has for us or that He wants us to be for someone else. Also, pray for our ears and eyes to be open and in tune with God's voice/guidance.
Isaiah 30:21
