Well, I've been on the other side of the planet...literally, I've been on the other side of the planet.
On October 28th my husband and I boarded a British Airways flight and began a 10,000 mile journey to Ug@nda, Afric@. Twenty-eight hours later we landed and began a 6 week odyssey to obtain legal guardianship of our third child, a little girl. She is officially eight years old and I will call her Bouncy here in my blog.
Right now I am not ready to delve into a lot of the details of our trip. It really does take a while to process all that I've seen and experienced. We were in a totally different world from our everyday world. We were challenged in ways we had never been challenged before. We grew in ways we never knew we could or would. And now we have a precious little girl that has joined our family. And we are being challenged in all kinds of new ways!
As time goes on I hope to share some of what we experienced and some of the things God is teaching us in this new world of adoption. Truly I never thought it would be something that we would do but God had other plans. Adoption is what He does everyday with each of us and now He is letting us in on that, and showing us His heart.
Well, I really am here today just to check in. I hope and pray each of you are enjoying your Christmas and looking forward to the New Year ahead!
