The What Ifs...

We made our way to the airport totally on cloud nine and a ton of excitement in all three of us.  The next morning I would be holding our baby boy!!  What would we name him....Landyn, Liam, Levi, Joshua??  (Notice Elijah was not even a choice in there)

Parking....$26.00 a day.....yikes, but that is okay we should only be there a week at most.  We took the tram to get to our proper terminal and started the process of getting our tickets.  Once we had tickets in hand we went to our gate to put our names on the stand by list.....would we make it out??  We sat in a corner and took some time as a family to pray that God would bless our travels and the people we would meet along the way.  Right before we were ready to board I called Stacey and let her know we were on our way and to let Nick and Leslie know that we would spend the night in a hotel since we were coming on such short notice....said by to her and our names were called....here we go!!!!

Now, we only had one little problem.  Our seats were not together and Caleb is way to shy to sit by a stranger for 5 hours!!!  One woman who thought that I had a window seat willingly switched, but when the woman came to that row and realized it was here seat.....well yeah words got heated (not with us!!)  The stewardess quickly came and said that they would work everything out.  With moving some people to first class we were all able to sit together!!  See God cares even about the small things!!  We had a direct flight so the next time we touched ground we would be in our babies home state!!

So you all know the drill by now, the part of my blog that I really struggle with addressing!!  We need funding and kinda fast, in the next two weeks we need 500.00 for the attorney and 250.00 for our first post adoption home visit. (I know you know, but the paypal button to the right goes right to an adoption account, if you don't feel comfortable using paypal and want to be part of Elijahs story feel free to email me at dfkmcoffee@aol.com and I can give you our address)   We feel so blessed by all of you!! Would you consider not getting coffee today or not taking your family out to dinner to help support us?  If you can't support us financially will you support us in prayer?  That God would continue to work in the lives of those around us?  That we would continue to adjust to a family of four?  That my fainting episode was nothing to be concerned about...except for the huge gash in my chin!!  And yes, it hurt!!!  But you know what even in that God was watching!!  I set Elijah down before it happened, I fell forward not backward....friends, it could have been so much worse and I praise God that I don't even have to go there!!!
