Finally….finally…packed and at the airport
Our guide - whom I started off lukewarm about but loved by the end of the trip
waiting, waiting and more waiting
Ok - we are off!
twelve hours later with a minimal of issues - she is a US Citizen!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the arrival gate….
Momma is finally home!
Julie has her daddy and her daddy has her
Grandma has her namesake
Katie has her sisters home
Daddy has all his little girls together
My heart is whole again
Movin' out and movin' on
Be it ever so humble…...
And all of it - every last tear and night apart and hard moment and absolute heart filled joy -
All of it - for the Glory of God and for His Kingdom
"We love because He first loved us"
1John4:19
Never have more truer words been uttered
I love this! xoxo Dest
