We arrived late last night around 10:30 Ethiopia time. We got checked in and had power for a few minutes to unpack ... then it was black, so we went to sleep.
It is now 5:30am and we are awake ... waiting ... We get to meet Silas today in about 4 hours.
No wonder I cannot sleep
Praise God this day has come!
Now if only the power would come back on so we can have hot water to shower.
...
Thinking back to two years ago when we were here for Kiera, that time was pure joy ... Our family was complete here.
But this time is different ... We are missing Kiera terribly
Please Lord watch over her. Give her peace when she is scared and when she is worried about us. Help Oma and Opa be able to distract and comfort her. Let her always remember our love and your love.
Amen!
Saying Goodbye to Kiera at the airport on Saturday morning was so hard. We had picked Joel up on Friday night from his conference in Arizona from the same airport. Kiera now new what it meant to go back there. She tried to talk her way onto the plane with us (this was cute). And when that didn't work, she was so brave ... blew us kisses, signed I love you and gave great big hugs. We love you little one and cannot wait to get home to you.
...
God has truly blessed our family by bringing Joel and I together, then adding Kiera and He is blessing us again through Silas. I could not have asked for a better family. Thank you Lord!
