"Once our eyes are opened we cannot pretend we do not know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12"

Off We Go!!!

The bags are finally all packed and in 3 short hours we are on our way.  Definitely not getting much sleep tonight (as it is already way past bedtime), but with 25 hours of travel ahead of us maybe it will help me get some sleep on the planes!  We leave for San Francisco at 7:00 AM tomorrow, then have to kill 5 hours before really getting the trip started.  We then fly to Germany and finally will arrive in Addis Ababa.

I have been so nervous about this trip, but God has definitely helped me through the worst of it and I am very calm and peaceful now and ready to do whatever it takes to get my son in my arms.  I hope to be able to do some blogging while in Ethiopia (testing the email to blog capability right now).  Please pray for us as we embark on this journey.  Pray that we stay healthy as we go and that Malachi stays healthy and transitions well in this coming week.  Hopefully we will talk again in Ethiopia :)
