We got the official word that Dana and I are confirmed on a direct flight to Korea on Father's Day! Lord willing, we will depart from JFK airport on our 14 hour flight at 2pm and arrive in Seoul around 5:30pm on Mon., Korea time (13 hrs ahead of EST). We plan to return on Fri. with Miss Mia on the 24th around noon. Dana's dad has graciously volunteered to drive us down to JFK as well as pick us up on our return, equipped with a carseat.
I'm definitely feeling the butterflies of the last-minute preparations and the anticipation of bringing home our 10 month old. I don't want to forget anything that she might possibly need for the trip home, but yet, I don't want to over-think it OR over-pack!
We are so thankful to be starting this next chapter for the Steele family. Ty is going to be a great big brother to her, and always ready to help. In fact, I learned today that he can fold washcloths perfectly into fourths and pile 6 of them perfectly on top of each other! I think he's gonna come in handy!
A special THANK YOU to our church family for the generous gift that was hand-delivered today to help with our trip and baby expenses. We are truly blessed and humbled by the generosity and love shown to us. God has chosen to bless us with another little one and it is with such joy that we can share this journey with you!
Love from the Steele (almost) 4
Encouragement for the days and weeks to come ...
Isaiah 40:28-31 (ESV)
"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
We will be praying for you all as you travel and bring Miss Mia home! We love you all.
