In the Air

We leaped!

We said, "Yes," to God, and like Indiana Jones stepping off the cliff onto the invisible bridge, we stepped off solid ground into the air.

We said, "Yes," to hosting two international orphan brothers, ages six and nine, in our home over the winter break and Christmas holiday.  We are excited about the opportunity and can hardly wait to meet the boys!  But we are, also, clinging to our faith in God, for this is quite possibly the biggest test He has ever given us.  The boys speak no English, and the nine year old has what we believe to be cerebral palsy.  It will cost more than what we have to bring them over and provide for their needs once they are here.  It will be physically and mentally challenging to take care of them and our own three boys for an entire month.  There will be hurdles and obstacles to overcome that we won't even be able to anticipate.  We are hanging in the air, praying that there is something solid beneath us to land on.

There is!  We haven't landed, yet; all the answers aren't there, yet.  But we know there is a Solid Rock below our feet, and with God's grace, we will land squarely on top of Him!

Please continue to pray for us and these sweet little boys as God guides us on this journey of faith.
