Meritt and I were blessed this evening by sweet time of prayer during a gathering of many friends and family at the home of Rick and Jody McNatt. What an incredibly humbling experience to have our dear friends and family pray for our trip, the girls (Maggie and Mary Henley), our family at home (Marshall, Macey, Matt & Charlotte), and that God will be honored throughout our journey.
It really hit us this evening when it was mentioned several times during our prayer time, that we too (each one of us) were once orphans...just like Mary Henley and Maggie. That is, until our Heavenly Father graciously adopted us into his family...and thankfully, despite our desires otherwise, he continues to pursue us, just like a loving parent, each day.
Meritt and I pray, with thanksgiving, that he is allowing us to be part of his plan to pursue Maggie and Mary Henley.
Our journey begins tomorrow morning!
Can't wait for you to meet your little ones...so exciting!

ReplyDeleteMeritt: You and the girls get home. Leave Mike behind - we don't want to hear about any stinkin' BAMA:). Just kidding. This is awesome. We miss you and look forward to ALL of your returns. All my love. Godspeed.
