Prayer Requests...I'm Leavin On A Jet Plane...

Ok, my PEEPS!! It is almost 1am my time here...I've packed and repacked and repacked and weighed again and again!! I think I have my stuff READY!! :) I still have more things to accomplish...so I 'll make this brief!!! My post one minute ago WORKED!!! Thanks Gina!! My friend Gina just taught me HOW to post via EMAIL...so cool!!! I might NOT have that much control over pics while i'm there...but I should be able to get them up none the less...SO STAY TUNED!! I really hope to blog a lot while I'm there!! AND, I'll get to love on my new nephew while I'm there too...so I know my little sis will be on pins and needles waiting for me to give her news of her new son!!! :) OH, I can't wait to get my hands on him!!! :)

***Ok, so thanks Mom for bringing me Chocolate Chip Cookies tonight...soo yummy!!! And, thanks to all my sweet friends for all the wonderful text, emails, phone calls, etc. wishing me a GREAT trip!! I already feel THE PRAYERS...so PLEASE keep them up!! :) Ok, so please pray:

*that traveling across the world goes safely and is uneventful!!
*that my 5 children feel peace with me leaving
*that my hubby feels PATIENCE and PEACE all week with the kids by himself!! :)
* that LL does ok with out me..and that she doesn't reject me when I return!! We've never been apart before..so this will be hard on us both!!
* that my kids have so much fun that they don't miss me at all.
* that I ACTUALLY get to meet LL's birth mom. PRAYING that she's home when we arrive and that we arrive safely!
* that I don't get sick on this trip
*that my children and hubby are healthy and well while I'm gone
*that God guides the meeting with LL's birth mom and that He is glorified by this meeting...
*that God's WILL is done...
* that I'm able to love on and share God's LOVE with as many children of Ethiopia as possible...
*and that I arrive home safely with a BROKEN HEART...I pray that God continues to BREAK MY HEART FOR WHAT BREAKS HIS!!!!
*** I could keep going...there are SO many prayer requests that I could come up with..but I'm so tired right now that I can't even think straight..I've had my coffee and I'm sipping on my 3rd or 4th diet coke..and well...my brain is still shutting down!!

**Hoping my hubby can post for me some too...Look for one of us to update yall in the next day or so!! Thank you a MILLION TIMES OVER for all the love and support you've shown...Looking forward to a GREAT trip...Happy Thursday to you all, kj

    Praying for you! I hope both you and your children have so much peace with you being away. I know there is nothing harder in this world than leaving your children, but this is for such a wonderful reason. So happy for you, and I'll be praying. :)

    Isaiah 41:10 Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

    I pray that God will walk before you and keep you safe! That your trip will be even better than you can imagine. My prayers are going with you Kristi!!!

    Have a safe journey. What an amazing gift you will be giving your daughter in honoring her birth mother in person, I'm teary eyed.
