{ The Fantastic Four }

The time has finally come. I'm not sure I have the words to share what I am feeling. It is such a bittersweet feeling to know that we are going on this journey and yet leaving behind our two youngest son's for 16 days. I would like to ask you to pray for us while we are away. First, for Olivia. That she will begin to feel a sense of peace and security once she is with us. For her to feel our love and to accept it. For her fear to not over come her. That she will know in her heart that she belongs with us.......in time. Please also pray for Andrew and Daniel. That they remain strong and healthy. To enjoy this time of getting to do special things and spending time with their Oma. That the transitions of Oma, Amy and Tyler and then a few days with Brittani will make the time go by quickly. Prayers are also needed for Sophia. She has expressed some anxiety the last few days of going to China. I know she will be fine, but I do expect this to open a door of many questions from her. And finally, for David, Emmie and I to be able to embrace this last journey for what it is and what it means for our family.

May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent from one another.
