WOW!!! I am in shock but also VERY excited for your family. I actually thought I was going to read that you were pregnant! Boy, was I wrong!! There is a great deal of peace that comes with being completely in His will. I will begin praying for you and your family now and continue as you travel to Panama.
I am so happy that you have started a blog where I can keep up with all of your happenings and so I will know exactly what I need to be praying for. May God keep you and your precious family in the sweet palm of His hand as you transition to your new ministry.
What an amazing opportunity you have been working towards. What a gift to your family to teach them about the rest of the world. I look forward to reading your blog entries and learning with you.
That is so exciting and I know that it will be fulfilling to carry out God's plan for your lives and be a wonderful witness for him in Panama. I will pray for your family!
YAY! Keep 'em coming!!!!!
Hope you don't mind me commenting on you blog - just happend to click on it from my site b/c one of my new customers said they liked something that I did on your site...but anyways!! Congratulations on your decision to follow the Lord and his calling for your lives! My husband and I have also struggled with this same thing and I definitely commend you for this amazing undertaking and will pray for God to work through you and your family for the betterment of his kingdom.
Wow! I'm with Angie on this one. I was expecting a new addition to the family, although my guess was adopting again. :-) This is wonderfully amazing news, and I can't wait to see how God blesses all of you and the people of Panama through your experience. Praying for you!
You know already how we feel - both pride in your faithfulness, and sadness that we will not see you on a regular basis. But I am exceedingly glad that we can keep in touch throught this blog. You know that all of your family will be a constant theme in our thoughts and prayers.
How awesome! I'm thrilled for you guys!!
