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.

Great News!

The mail came and I am beyond excited that our appt from USCIS was there!!  It is such a relief that everything was done correctly and made it here. Michael is not home for the appt. but I am not stressing because everyone says you can usually get a walk in appt. So we will be there 8:00 Monday morning with my best pleading face on.  I'm feeling better that things will be picking up. Hopefully we will also get our last pieces of documentation needed on Monday from homestudy, FTIA, and the police dept. Then off to the county!!! Deep breath. I am starting to be able to breath again. A great reminder that God is in control! Thank goodness, because I definitely am not! :) Wouldn't want it any other way. I have to keep reminding myself that he will come home at the exact time God has planned for him to come home. And He will continue to take care of him until then. Feeling very relieved to have these papers in my hand!! Do I dare think we may get everything to the Chinese consulate before Michael heads back to work? Hhhmmmm
