By Faith Not By Sight

We are a family that loves God and loves each other. Our family is built through, and so blessed by adoption. As a family we are lead to pray for the children who remain orphans with no family to call their own, no mom and dad to take care of them. When one face began to repeatedly appear to us, and many things kept connecting us to one little boy, we began to look closer at this one child in an orphanage in China. We began to listen to our hearts and pray harder. Fast forward to a year later. Our Pastor is teaching on circle prayers. Calling us to move to a higher level in our prayer life and faith. Bold prayers, "circle prayers", prayers that call us to step out in faith, without giving up. Pressing in to the heart of God. So circle prayers are what we are praying, for God to lead us and provide a way for us to bring this little boy home.

Patience

Well, I'm already starting to feel like the whole waiting thing is getting difficult. Not good, since it's really only just beginning. With us we were already talking about him and knew about him for a year and a half. I feel like we've been waiting for him for such a long time.  I will feel better if we would just get the pre approval (PA) from China. Some people get it with in days. I really hope this isn't a sign of how things are going to go. We were so hoping to some how have him home by November. Even that feels too long. I know it will be difficult. But we are all so ready to have him home. I can't wait to finally get to the point where we can at least let him know he does have a family. From all that we have heard that is a very big deal for him. But we can't let him know until we are ready to bring him home. Otherwise the kids get discouraged about why it took so long to come get them. They don't understand this whole process. Heck, neither do I half the time. It's 10:30 in the morning in China. Hopefully he is in school. They say he loves school. I think he attends school with in the orphanage, but I am not sure. I am so hoping we will hear something this week!
