The Time Has Come

I cannot believe the day is here!  It's always a little bittersweet around the house on this day.  Everyone is happy and excited, yet sad to be apart and stressed that everything goes smoothly.  Once we get through this part, our moods all turn to excitement for the children.  I have just received word to expect 150 children at the Virginia Home!  That is more than we've ever had before!  I may have to go get more snacks for everyone.  Today my prayer is for safe travels and for peace at home while we're gone.  Today my "hope for Kenya" is that these 150 children and the slums around the Virginia Home will be blessed in some way by our visit.
