The only thing...

 
The only thing ...
 
that will make leaving these precious little people... (and their precious tiny buns:)
 
even bearable is...
 
I KNOW God is calling us to GO to Uganda!
 
I know the Lord knew exactly when the littlest Hintz would arrive... (I sort of feel like it was all a part of God's great plan in bring Isaiah into the world early, at 35-36 weeks... He knew I would need that extra time to bond with him and have him all to myself in the nicu... Wow, I love those precious  memories!! He is already growing WAY too fast:)  If Isaiah had arrived right at Christmas when he was due only a few weeks before I was supposed to leave I think  ... I would have FREAKED OUT!!:)    God was so good to give me that extra time...
 
I am super excited and a bit terrified all at once:)
 
And it doesn't hurt that while my arms will be aching for my own sweet children...
They will be full of precious ones like this...
 
and this...
 
and this...
 
Pretty irresistable huh?

Praying for you! When do you leave? So thankful for the Lord's provision when he calls us to something.

love you friend!

p.s. thanks for the prayers. we're really struggling and it helps having people pray that understand what we're going through.
