Humbled by People's Prayers for Us

I saw this message today in an email for a church's prayer requests:

Please pray for Doug and Monica. In about a month, they will travel to Ethopia to bring home their child Noah. Pray for safe travels. More importantly, pray for Noah, that he falls madly in love with his new mommy and daddy, that his life will be of service to God, that he will flourish and grow with his new family. Pray for Monica and Doug as they see their child for the first time. May there be an undeniable bond between them, that all the legal stuff will go smoothly, and that they will raise Noah to fully know Christ.

It was incredibly humbling to know that people are praying this way for us!! Can't believe that we leave in 15 days!!
