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.

Congratulations!

Just got wonderful news that the little girl that was in the same orphanage with Quan came home and is "VERY" happy. An advocate that fell in love with this child worked years helping her and ultimately connecting her with her family. Her family then worked for 4 years, never giving up, to finally bring her home and make her their daughter!  I am so happy for them to finally be able to rest knowing their daughter is safely home. Then my concern turns to my son. He is still there. They have said in the past that he gets discouraged when another child has a family and he feels he never will. It must be hard for them when a friend leaves. Really the only family they have known. Our letter and photo album did ship out to China yesterday though. So hopefully with in a week he can hold onto proof that we do exist! I pray that brings him hope. And I hope that we will be bringing him home in 4 months, (or less). O.K., I have to say it.  My heart breaks for the 12 year old little boy with the beautiful smile and heart that has wanted a family so much. He is running out of time. Please God let someone come forward for this boy. He needs a family. He can't be left behind as our children are coming home. Please pray for him. (HH, Matt)
