It started in earnest on July 14th, 2010. Just under 4 years ago. A Journey 7080 miles long. A virtual journey made up of running, biking, and swimming.
3 years and 9 months later. I have arrived in Kinshasa.
Oh my oh my. What a journey. The buildup of our DRC Adoption from 2010 through #3's arrival in our home. What a journey we've begun and continue on with her in our home. I am not one to spend to much time thinking about things such as "Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda" Or "if you had to do it all over again...."
No doubt my personal life, married life, and family life would be vastly different if the Journey that brought #3 into our lives and home never happened. But there is where we are right now. This is where I am. In the here and now. Looking at the present, trying to get to through the present. To the next hour. Next Day. Next week. Not looking back about decisions and circumstances that culminated in the present day. Not looking to far ahead as to become distracted about the here and now.
How does the saying go. Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is a Mystery. Today is a Gift.
Now now. put away those snarky thoughts an comments about "returning the Gift". We may never know learn the reasons for this Gift. But we can be sure that it was presented to us with Love and Expectations beyond our comprehension.

Where to now? The Journey to Bogota Colombia begins now. Where will we be upon completion. Only the Lord knows. May our Journey fruitful and purposeful.
