$2900 in 10 days can it be done?

I have not updated my thermometer yet but we are now $2900 short of being fully funded. Just a few months ago I needed sooo much more and by the grace of God and some wonderful villagers we are within $3,000! Knowing we are not going to be paid during our travels is worrisome but we do have some money in our savings to cover the bills at home so we are thankful for that. The biggest concern for us at this point is the airfare returning home.  Dave asked me if he thought we could raise the $2900 in 10 days- I said only if it is God's will.

I want to say congratulations to Ryan :) He graduated from 8th grade last night. I am so very proud of him and even though he is now moving to a much bigger school, I know that he will do well and thrive. I am very proud of him. I also want to congratulate Cody as he graduates from High School tomorrow! I often fretted and worried about God's timeline but we are so blessed that we were able to be here for both our sons graduations!! We will be missing Cody's graduation party but know that his father and stepmother will make it the best and we are planning for a big barbeque when we bring Joshua home to celebrate.. well to celebrate our family being together finally!!

I feel like I am running around like a chicken with their head cut off yet accomplishing little to nothing. I know what I need to be doing but there are so many things that I almost do not know where to start. With the graduations it has been hard to maintain focus. Hopefully Monday I will kick it into high gear. I am approaching this travel as almost a learn as you go kind of thing. I have never traveled out of the country so I am sure there will be time for improvise and adapting. I am so lucky to be sharing this experience with the most wonderful husband a woman could ask for so I know that while I will be dearly missing my children, I will be with my best friend, my husband, retrieving our son.

Please continue to pray for us.. pray that we find the provisions we need to complete our journey.. especially pray that there is money for at least our return flight. Pray that my complete lack of international travel does not affect us to badly lol. And please continue to pray for Joshua the little boy who has no idea we are about to embark on this travel to bring him home. I can only imagine the confusion he will be feeling as the orphanage is the only life he has known. Pray God comforts him throughout this journey that he has absolutely no idea he is about to go on!
