Travel Prayers

We leave tomorrow!  We are just about packed and ready.  My parents will be here tonight and tomorrow off to the airport we go!

If you want to pray us through our trip, we would really appreciate it!  We have some ongoing needs throughout the entire trip - to stay healthy, for my dad's hip to do well with all of the traveling, for E to not be too scared and confused, for Justin to not run into any bumps handling things on this side of the world, for Cade's heart to be impacted in a life changing way by what he will see and experience. 

Here are some specific requests by day:

Tuesday, March 15 - Travel safety for the three of us traveling by air and for my mom and the girls as they hit the road.
Wednesday, March 16 - To enjoy seeing some of London and to be able to find our way around without too much hassle.  For my mom as she wrangles the girls.
Thursday, March 17 - Travel safety as we fly to Addis.  For our luggage to all arrive in Ethiopia. For my mom.
Friday, March 18 - We get to see E again!  Prayers for a joyful reunion and for him to have an understanding of what's about to happen.  For my mom's sanity at this point.
Saturday, March 19 - Travel safety for us as we travel south to see where E is from and for my mom, Justin, and the girls as they meet halfway for the passing of the kids.
Sunday, March 20 - Prayers for me to have clarity and peace as I hopefully meet with E's birth family  Travel mercies as we drive back to Addis.  We will take custody of E either today or tomorrow!
Monday, March 21 - Embassy appointment!  For everything to be in order and for the meeting to be quick and easy. For E's adjustment.  For the Brittain family as they keep our kids for the day.
Tuesday, March 22 - From now until Thursday night we will be at the guesthouse with E, not able to go anywhere.  Prayers for us to enjoy our getting to know him time.  For the Esping family as they keep the girls.
Wednesday, March 23 - We should get E's visa today.  For the Grafe family, as they have an extra long day with the three girls.
Thursday, March 24 - For our hearts as we leave the country I love so much.  For travel mercies as we head home.  For E to be a good traveler and for me to be able to comfort and reassure him.  For the Norris family keeping our girls.
Friday, March 25 - Travel safety.  For our entry into the U.S. to be smooth.  For us to be able to have a good visit with our friends, the McCoy's, in Atlanta.  For Justin and the girls as they prepare for us to arrive.  For our plane to be on time to Albuquerque.  Safe journeys to the airport for everyone coming to welcome us home.

If you want to be there for our arrival, our flight is scheduled to arrive at 9:10 on Friday night at the Albuquerque Sunport.  Contact Justin Friday night for any last minute changes or delays.

Thanks for the prayers and support everyone!
