As most of you know, we received the travel call on Wednesday. This is the call we have prayed and longed for, but then the reality sets in. We are traveling. On a plane. Over an ocean. A BIG, hungry ocean. For 14 hours. I’ve recited every scripture I know, prayed, tossed and turned (yes, I slept very little last night), and I have finally come to the conclusion that I’m not in control and need to accept this fact. Medication may help me with this realization (ha!), but more prayers from friends and family will help also. Hint, hint.

I cannot begin to explain how excited I am for you guys! And I cannot wait to see pictures! I don’t realize understand how the whole process works: is this an initial visit to meet him for the first time or do you actually bring him home this time?!
Also, are you anxious about flying in general? Or just because you will be over the ocean? Just curious. No matter what, I will be praying for you guys!!!

Thanks, Mandy! We’ll actually bring Jadon Min-su home. Every country is different, and, for Korea, we have the option to use an escort or to travel. Our trip to Seoul will last about 7 days.
As for flying, I have always been afraid to fly. I’ve done it once, but it wasn’t a good experience. I don’t do well with heights, so, as you can imagine, flying isn’t my favorite thing to do.
It really has nothing to do with the ocean…maybe just the thought of falling 30,000 ft. into it?? It could also be a control issue (as if flying the plane myself could cause comfort–ha!). Honestly, this is a stronghold for me, and it frustrates me that I even have this issue.
