From Impossible Call to the Airport.

Twenty four hours from now we will be on a plane.  The plane. Do you believe it? I'm chasing my tail this morning making sure nothing at work burns down while I'm gone.  Out of office replies, setting up meetings for when we return, verifying, checking flights, rides, and reservations.

Leaving with our precious Naomi

But you know what?  I'm choosing to stop a second right now and tell you what God has done.  This was an impossibility when we said yes to the "Go" call.  But yet here we are with a pile of bags, a son that wants to take a stack of 12 Narto comic books and has misplaced his I Pod.  We're here with a daughter about to be reunited with her "beeeest friend" (read the first post) and soon to be brother.  A whole family that said yes to an impossible "Go".

We want you to keep reading - we're going to be posting from Manila first, then from Leyte over the next 2 weeks.  Watch and see what the Lord is doing. Listen, if you don't know him. If you've doubted that He is who He says He is - watch over the next 2 weeks -keep reading.  If I know Jesus -you're about to see a parable of the good news acted out.  We want you to see it. And we want you to give him the credit for telling us to do the impossible and then giving us everything we need (through many of you) to 'Go'.

If you are reading this thinking about adopting an older child that everyone else has abandoned, passed over or rejected, if you are considering taking a step to love those the world calls 'un-lovable' and you think you can't - think again.  Because if you are even thinking about it...I have a bit of truth for you....The fact that you're thinking about it...and have 'been thinking' about it....well, listen to what the Lord says about that:

"...for it is God working in you to will and to act  (in you) according to his good purpose..."  Phil 2:13.

That means that the very thing we're thinking about doing is well.....something we should do.  And if you've been following us - you know that God has broken down walls, parted waters and enabled us... to 'Go'.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work in us (and you), to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Eph 3:20-21.

-Pray for a straight path for us and for safety.  Above all pray for Jacob's heart to be prepared for us and that the Lord would receive all the glory for what he's doing.

Salamath,
