The fact that I am typing tells you that we have some energy left, but MAN ARE WE TIRED!
The MARATHON that has been this week is exhausting. On top of work, packing, parenting, preparing, shopping, packing some more, we have added Doctor's visits, dentist appointments, an Easter celebration with Devon, etc.
The packing is almost done (well, it WAS done but Mr. wants to separate stuff into separate bags in case we lose one bag but didn't tell me this brilliant idea until we were totally packed ;0). We've have a total of 7 bags, three ours, 4 donation items. That's a LOT of baggage.
We are finally surrendering to what we have learned throughout this entire adoption process, we are NOT IN CONTROL and never will be. You'd think we would have learned this over the past few months!
I don't have the energy for well thought out, long winded prayers. So, here you go.
-God, we need sleep.
-Please use your supernatural power to clear the snot out of our noses.
-Help us not die on the trip or flights.
-Help the baby we have loved for so long to love us back at some point.
-Help the son we have loved for 4 years to love his new little brother Micah and not make it his mission in life to kill Micah or at least maim him so that Micah can't touch his toys.
-Help us not to kill one another on the 18 hour flight.
-Please allow our bags to make it to Ethiopia in one piece, or if we lose one for it to be Chad's. ;0)
-Most of all, use us as you see fit, only we're pretty sure we could be of better use if we don't have diarrhea.

I am amazed at how quickly you guys have needed to be ready to go! We can't wait to see Micah in your arms - finally! We will be praying you home, Kim. With love, Karen Wistrom www.family-from-afar.blogspot.com
Aw man, why didn't I have the brilliant idea to separate our luggage?!?! Maybe I wouldn't have been wearing the same jeans and hoodie for 7 days! (That's one smart man you got :)
Have fun, Savor the moments, and blog much :)
