I Can Make it Through the Storm

Today Keal and I took off for Florida. As always, and as families and babies passed us by, I thought of you (in my mind this was going to be our first trip as a family of three).

Okay, this will be trite and cliche, but thats okay...We took off on a cloudy, gray, blah kinda day. As we began to climb higher, the clouds began to thin and there was a hint of sunshine. Right before we broke through the clouds, we hit just a slight bit of turbulence - one final struggle. Finally, after the long and slow climb into the sky, we broke through the clouds and it was a beautiful, sunny afternoon. We could no longer see the storm clouds or the ground below. We had made it through the storm.

I know on our journey to you we are still making that slow and steady climb through the storm clouds. I know as we wait for you, we may hit some more turbulence and bumps in our journey. But I know, once we finally break through those clouds and we have you in our life, we will sing our praises to God for his gift. Until then, we will wait patiently as we climb to you and will continue to say - let faith arise, even through the storms!
