Wheels Up in 2 hours

That's approximate. BTW... this is Jack. This post will probably be different than most. We have a laptop and wirless access this time so I am actually posting from the gate. I have been up since 3:30 but we have gotten to the gate in short order. We left the house at 5:00 and arrived at the airport at 6:00 we completed our check-in, went through secruity and were eating in the Green zone by 6:34.

We are really excited about the trip. It is really starting to feel like the process is nearing the end and we will finally have Anya home with us. We are looking forward to our stay on this trip. We will be in a hotel with English speaking people and there will be 2-4 other families staying there that are adopting as well. Please remember us when you pray.

Please pray for:
1. Traveling Grace & Protection.
2. That God will give us favor with the Judge.
3. For Anya's protection and that she will not be afraid to tell the judge that she wants to be with us forever.
4. For Faith & Caleb's protection while we are gone. (May need protection from number 5. HaHa)
5. For Charlie, Susan & Beth's sanity while we are gone.

Well, I better go. Hope y'all enjoy the blog and get the humor.

Talk to y'all later.


Jack

Hey Guys!

Just got your messages, and I wanted to pray for you/with you before your day got started! Hope you get this soon!



Heavenly father,

Jack and Stephanie are headed to Russia on their great adventure. Please bless their journey and their “trial” and speed their return with Anya. They have all waited so long to get her home, please grease the wheels of the process and let them see the fruits of their labors. Give them joy and peace and let them feel your hand in the process. Let Anya feel the joy of their nearness and let the reunion be all they could hope for and more.



Beyond that though, grant them the small things, good weather, good beds, and the joy of being together with each other for these trying days. Let Jack make Stephanie laugh when it’s hard and let Stephanie hold Jack up when it’s tiring. Bless this couple who have blessed all of us so much.



And send them all home soon.



Amen.



Good luck you guys!
Laura
