going to Ethiopia to see thee most beautiful angel on earth

Hey.....This is finally it....The big month...what a blessed Christmas and Hanukkah present for all of us.  We will be traveling to Addis on the 28th (arrival)  and will be staying for our court date (30th) and leaving Addis on the 3rd.  I can tell you my mind is racing with all of the imaginations and anticipations that are in front of us as a family.  Adoption is so very different than natural birth...(although I said I felt pregnant in the past).....This is way different....The thoughts of another child calling me "mommy" is more than I can bare.  The hugs  and love .I love Rahwa with a deep maternal love....an ache for her....THIS IS THE FATHER!!!....I am really thankful to the Lord for his abundant showers of blessings that  have been poured down for Rahwa......We will get to meet her brother on this trip(19).  It said in the video that we saw of her recently that he is in University there....I am hopeful that I get to meet anyone who was and is special to her....and that I can share my love with them as well....What a beautiful people Ethiopians are..on the inside.....I can tell you before this experience that I knew very little about Africa......I am embarrassed to say, I never thought about it....and the Lord has been so faithful to bring me into a whole new revelation of his love for the land of Africa as well as the salvation of the people. Becoming involved with the ministry WITH OPEN EYES has been such a blessing in my life....and  I am humbled that he hass called me to pray for Africa.....so intimate.... So all I can say  is WOW...I look forward to sharing all that the Lord shows me and does  my heart as Jim and I make our pilgrammage to our daughters land....Bless it !!!!
