Halfway There!

Well, I am sitting in the Amsterdam airport (I love tulips!) waiting for my connection to Entebbe, Uganda. We have just received news that there has been some rioting in Kampala (where we are headed), and so we have been advised to spend the night in Entebbe to avoid traveling at night. Normally, I would be worried about this, but instead, I am just so excited to get to Asher! Nothing is robbing me of my joy today (or tonight...who knows?). I know that God has been before these events, that He is in the midst of these events, and that He is my Fortress. I will rest in that today.

Yesterday was a different story, though. As Danny dropped me off at the airport, I wept like a little child. I am not even sure why, but I think it had to do with experiencing this journey without him. It made me realize that I depend upon him a lot more than I thought I did. Today is Danny's birthday as well. If you read this and you see Danny, give him a kiss (he'll love it!) and tell him Happy Birthday for me. I miss him terribly.

All that aside, I am one day away from running to Asher and picking him up in my arms and saying, "I love you, son!" Nothing can rob me of that joy...it will be a little glimpse of heaven on earth...and it's one day away!

Love to all!
