Disappointed

The disappointment of yesterday's "no go" is settling in. I am so incredibly bummed that it didn't work out. I was so hopeful. I know FL is nice, it is beautiful, it is wonderful...I know. But I just really wanted this part of our journey to be done. Today I have checked with numerous airlines, Amtrack, renting an RV, renting a van and looked into driving our van. The girls so very badly want to come with and we really would like to go together as a family. I am trying my hardest to come up with a way for us to stay together for this part of the journey. But I am giving it all to the Lord and asking Him to give us wisdom about going. This is a factor of having a larger than average family...you have to buy 4 tickets rather than the average two children family. It's ok and we can accept it as a choice in life that we have made. We would much rather have a larger family and stick to camping vacations, than miss out on the joy of being blessed with these children. We are richly blessed and we thank the Lord for it! I know the Lord will give us wisdom about going. I am just sad today that it didn't work out. Bummed. Disappointed. Frustrated. Discouraged. Yet Grateful for the fact that Hudson is our son. He is a blessing beyond what we ever imagined. This is just part of our journey and we thank the Lord for guiding us each step of the way.
