WEATHER IN CUCUTA

The date is set!

Alright, so much has transpired in the past few days, and complete chaos has ensued, but with great enthusiasm we report our date is set! We'll meet our children on Monday, November the 19th! How fitting that the 19th would be the date issued as our "Gotcha Day" because and for the past 2 months now faithfully every week I would check airfares and availability on flights over to Colombia, and ALWAYS kept with the same dates... and oddly so, it was always with the assumption we would receive our children on the 19th! Never once did I deviate from the thought of preparing for travel around the 19th. It just amazes me so. Looking back it's hard to believe now that all along I've had that particular date pinpointed for such a monumental event, and I'm learning to be thankful for and to discern the wisdom God places upon me! This one was clearly a sign from God on His perfect timing, but all along I didn't want to wait. So many times I wanted to hit the fast forward button, but hey I'm learning to be patient because I know of His faithfulness!

I'll write more tomorrow as I am just drained after staring at computer screens displaying flight possibilities and potential routes and fares for the past day and a half. I'm happy to say we've locked in our flights and I still have all limbs intact after paying -- but only barely... LOL! Really, it was a huge enlightenment process, and to think that for years I actually dreamed of being a travel agent! Just INSANE!! Wow, back in the day I really was a little jealous of so many of my friends who went on to "travel school". I can honestly say that after spending over one and a half days parked right in front of the computer searching for the best online deals, I'm wiped out! I could not imagine making a career of it.

I'll write more when I'm thinking more clearly.

Many Blessings,
Genece
