Keeping Updated

Since things are actually happening I thought I'd post it! We bought our tickets last week. It was a huge, scary step but my husband is extremely optimistic. I guess one of us should try the faith and hope way! A huge answer to prayer: We could not find a good flight for the days we are supposed to arrive in and leave Ethiopia. Any time we spend in the country not within the timeframe they give us we would be completely on our own, no translater and in charge of our own accomodations/transportation. (Those of you who have traveled internationally a lot: Stop Laughing!) Anyway, the only flight with the perfect dates for us was full but Jeremy had us put on a list to get tickets if any opened up and prayed about it. Within just a couple hours 2 seats opened and we got them! I was so excited! At some point I'm going to have to get optimistic enough to start on the giant to-do list I have in order to be prepared for this trip, maybe in a couple days! Please continue to pray for us~that our trip will be in God's timing, for safety, and for my peace of mind in leaving Gracie~and anything else God lays on your heart would be great.
