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...
