There's No Place That Far

We board the plane in just a few hours.  After 3 flights and many hours in the sky, we'll be home.  Samuel will be a US citizen the moment we step off the plane in LA.  

That's so hard to believe when I think back to the past 15 months.  It has flown by, but it has required much waiting.  It's been extremely stressful, but we've seen God's hand in each step.  When we wake up next to a snuggly baby boy, we are quickly reminded that the process has been so worth it.  

We are exhausted.  We know there will be difficult days ahead.  Jet lag will take over our clear thoughts (I love my sleep).  Emotions will take over at some point...both ours and his.  Still, this the story of God's guidance and goodness in adding another baby to our family.  And we would do it again.  No question about it.  As we sat in a coffee shop awaiting our shuttle yesterday, a Sara Evans song on the radio summed it up...

Oh, if I had to run, if I had to crawl

If I had to swim a hundred rivers

Just to climb a thousand walls

Always know that I would find a way

To get to where you are

There's no place that far

Baby, there's no place that far

We would fly around the world a million times to bring you home, baby boy.  Samuel, there is no place that far!
