The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Heart and mind preparation...

As this last few steps are winding down...ICPC....PASSPORT,my mind is winding up!
I think how do I turn a child away that is begging for food or money,no matter if they are a trained begger or not? How do I walk past someone who is thirsty,who is dying,who needs to hear the gospel,people who need a light while we are in India?
HOW? " Lord help us to be the light that we are able to be while we are there in the midst of desparate hearts." We don't have extra days to stay as Shane's time is limited and the Lord knows all things and he will show us things I believe.
" Just a smile,nice word,anything we can do to show your glory in us."

Shane and I have been asking God to prepare our hearts and Maiya's as we are getting closer to the big day. We have decided to make this trip about Maiya and nothing else. It really doesn't fit in for us to add days to site see and mingle around.Plus our hearts will be missing the boys for sure! If it is the Lord's will,we might go back one day and take the kids with us. Whenever that might be,maybe even a missionary trip. Whatever the Lord has in store!
I have to say I feel content with this being decided. considering we have never been out in a foreign land and this is a journey itself not counting we will be experiencing the beautiful and first moments with our daughter,all in all we just don't wanna add to much to the plate to where it all overflows and everything is a blur.:)That's just us,all people are different.:0) We have been praying for something else that if it is the Lord's will for us to do while we are there,don't knows the answer to it yet? But I am being patient and waiting. I wake up totally every night,just not being able to sleep? Puzzled? Is this the norm?
Well that's about my thoughts for now,hoping to be posting that ICPC is approved soon and for her sweet little passport!!

Hey Gidget, that is exactly how our trip went - limited time and just focused on picking up Cole and getting him home! I can't wait to follow your journey over there!
