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.

Camping 2012



We still haven't gotten our approval from USCIS yet. I forget the name (or number) of the form we are waiting for....only know it's not here yet. We are going into the city next week to hand deliver all forms since there are a few places we need to go to and it saves us 5 weeks in the wait doing it in person. We are so hoping we will have everything here by then so we can do it all at once. In the meantime we are playing the waiting game. We took the kids to go camping at the beach for the week. It was fun, but we were seriously missing Billy. That was his place and being there without him just wasn't right. :(  The kids decorated and wrote messages on shells to him and we placed them at a private place off the camp ground. It was hard. Many tears and a lot of memories. I regret now not having taken a picture of it because they worked so hard on it. I didn't take my usual photos this time. It was good we went. The kids needed a change of scenery and they had a good time. It's always beautiful at the beach. But someone needs to tell the puppies that is going to be Fu Quan's bunk. :) I wonder if he will like camping like his brother and sisters.
