I Wanna Live Like That...

As I get ready to leave tomorrow, this is the song that I find running through my head.  It perfectly depicts the way I feel.  It's why we are going to Ghana, why its worth leaving our precious boys behind, why it's worth risking the heartbreak that comes with loving a child we may never be allowed to bring home.  I pray that my faith and conviction is strong enough for the journey and that we can point to Jesus regardless of the outcome and bring him glory through our lives.

Putting the boys to bed tonight was so emotional.  I love them more than anything and it will be so difficult to be away for so long.

We will try to update the blog with pictures and stories of the trip.  Please join us in prayer as we leave tomorrow.  We arrive in Accra, Ghana Friday night.  We will spend the night in Accra Friday and Saturday and drive to Wa, Ghana on Sunday.  Court will be Tuesday or Wednesday.  Prayer warriors, please cover us in prayer those two days in particular.  There is a lot of instability in Ghana adoptions right now.  Court is step one in the long journey to bring what we hope to be our daughter home. 

We are blessed beyond measure with love and support from family and friends with our adoption and can't thank you enough for your prayers and encouragement.  We know that whether we are ever able to bring our daughter home our lives and our perspective will be forever changed for the better because of this trip.
