We do!!!
We literally had one day to book flights, get all of our kids arranged for the next two weeks, pack our kids, pack for our trip, get necessary documents printed, get medications needed, get papers notarized, shop for last minute items, email itineraries, book hotels in India, book in country flights there, and plan our ride to the airport.
We did it!
It is currently 4am Wednesday morning, but we did it!

Cleaned the house the best I could
My most favorite part of the day, were the friends that called/texted/emailed ecstatic for us, and the ones that dropped by the house and ran in hugged us and walked out.
We feel so blessed, not only did we have visitors, but we were given gifts and items for our daughter.
God again, showing me in the midst of chaos, that He is still providing for us all the way through the end!
We had four people come to us today and say God laid on their heart to bring us some money.
I am still astounded over that… just blown away that God would think of us enough to lay that on the hearts of others. And, that the “others” were obedient and brought us financial gifts to help with all of our costs.
We are so humbled and blessed by our friend’s generosity and stand in awe of the incredible God that we serve!!!
Can I get an AMEN!?!
