Sweet Family Firsts

In the last 24 hours L has said "Mei Mei" (sister) while watching our girls on Skype, reached her arms up to Dad to hold her and kissed mom on the lips...

The Lord's timing is sweet, His plans are perfect.

Prayer Requests

Having to be vague as our girls follow this too; for outpouring of comfort during time of loss. Our pain will be delayed until return but our dear friends who graciously offered to help us while gone are hurting and asking; "God, why now?" "Why here?" "Why us?"
Prayers for health!
TRANSITION DAY! Our girls will move today from staying with my husband's parents to now staying with my parents. Please pray for all involved; especially a reaping of blessing for the help R&E have been to the girls.
L's comfort will continue; that we would be able to soothe her many anxieties and her comfort with dad would increase.
We've been told that L is very timid and scared of strangers. She was in Beijing for a year due to surgery and will be transferred back to her orphanage just prior to us arriving. Pray for her heart to be full of peace during this time of transition.

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2: 1-5
