Can you imagine the day you were born? Picture with me, your parents dancing over you with delight. Singing and rejoicing over the fact that you exist and belong to them. God has danced over each of us. He created us and predestined us to be here and now. Zephaniah says he dances over you with joy! Wow!
Zephaniah 3:17 (Amplified Bible)
17The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.
As we prepare to travel to get our kiddos our hearts are filled with joy. We haven't actually danced but our bodies and minds are breathing a long sigh of relief. The anticipation is almost too much, I can't express the love we have for kids who we have yet to meet. We leave tomorrow at 5:20am and will arrive in Ethiopia on Thursday evening. We will have a day to acclimate to the time difference and then Saturday at 10am we will meet our kids!Thanks for the prayers and support. See you on the 13th at 4:30pm.
My heart is so full of excitement and joy for you "all" that it is overflowing from within out of my eyes and down my cheeks---God is so GOOD!!!! Praise the Lord!!!! We are holding you all close in our thoughts and prayers and look so forward to seeing you all and meeting your precious little blessings!!!! Shelly and Family
