there were 200 comments exactly when i clicked on line this morning.
i made everyone do one last family picture before i go.
we look…sleepy.
and then everyone went to school and work and it was me all alone.
my tears were dry.
i am ready to go.
my mom got me a cute new hoodie…i had to wear it. :)
thank you for your prayers already.
and keep them coming.
we have 26 kids at least that the 8 of us are leaving with dads in the states.
that alone needs a blanket of prayer.
thank you for buying ad space, buying etsy goodies, donating money and praying for us.
this trip is going to ROCK!
i cannot wait to see what God will do.
