Two Years

I find myself wondering; wondering about her two years of life. I have mixed feelings; humanly speaking I grieve not knowing or being a part of that time; not ever knowing. I grieve because someday she too will grieve the unknown. Yet I rejoice because I know full well my God knows her, thinks of her, yearns for her, ponders her, rejoices in her... HE knows her and He has a brilliant plan for her. I am a blessed vessel that gets to share about the crown of life to my two year old daughter. What greater joy and purpose is there?

Travel Date

Last night (Wed., Feb. 25th) we bought plane tickets to Beijing; just one week away! Things are in fast forward at our house. We have the most wonderful parents who are willing to drop everything to watch the girls for 9 1/2 days each side. SO... plans have begun.

We leave the house at 5:00 a.m. on the 4th to start a 20+ hour journey! A journey of a lifetime... We are going to China!

It hasn't been until now that we've allowed our hearts to be stirred by this endeavor. It seems we've kept our emotions at arms length, such an uncertain process.

Travel Date

Our long awaited travel to China is approaching! We've been told we will travel on March 4th or the 11th. We are humbled that God is allowing us this experience; to bring a little child of His into our home. We hope you will join us on this journey and be encouraged and humbled by Christ's love!
