Please remember to pray for us! We believe God has laid this on our hearts and we trust him. The words that God impressed on my heart a year ago were "What if you did something crazy...and trusted me?"

 Blessings...

 So, we've had our ups and downs in the last 4 and a half years...with adoption, jobs, friends, healing, family, church, life... but God has been faithful even when we felt wrecked...the Lord pulled us through.  Our children are such a blessing and we've all grown emotionally, physically, and spiritually.


I remember when we had Lily with us in China. She had these two toys that she had in her hands since we met her and would never put them down. It was all she brought with her from the care center including the clothes she was wearing, that we sent her, and also the small photo album we sent of our family and dog. They also gave us the disposable camera we sent for them to take pictures of her in their care. All through China, Lily never put the toys down...it was her only bond that she had left.

The only time in China she dropped those toys was in the grocery store picking out some snacks. One of our favorite memories was when we finally made it to the house. The kids, family, and friends had welcomed us home at the airport from Hong Kong through Chicago and we drove home with all four kids. When we stepped into the house, and the kids wanted to play with Lily, we saw her drop those toys and she never really picked them up again. It was something that warmed our hearts.


 So much more of the story with Lily, but even two-three years later, we thought our family was complete...until now...
