Letter to Stella

I hope to continue to add to this letter throughout our journey.....

Dear Stella,

Well this week has finally arrived. It has been on our mind and calendar for some time now. I've talked and thought about it for so long. We have been preparing for the unknown by making lists, phone calls, and piles. To say the least we have been staying busy! But then it actually got here and all the preparing actually turned into getting things ready. The lists came to life as the suitcases filled up and things started going into the Jeep. My insides began to tremble as I quickly realized we would be leaving our home for who knows how long and prayed so hard that God's plan is the same one as I had been praying for.

You have no idea what is going on around you. You stay happy, laughing, and smiling and to you it is just another trip away from home for awhile. I am scared for you and us, Stella. We will be with you every moment we can, I promise. You will always have mommy or daddy close by. I know we say it a million times a day, but we love you more than anything. I can't begin to tell you what to expect. I wish I could, but I have no idea. I can tell you that God is with you every moment of every day. We just have to trust Him. We have a lot of people praying for us....friends, family, and people we don't even know! It is truly amazing to be supported by so many people.

Love you baby girl!
