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.

LOA

We got "the call" yesterday that we got our LOA and it arrived by Fedex today. He's our son. We are moving forward with the paperwork in faith and really believing God has a plan. Everyone is praying for this little guy. He went so many years being out of site in a very small orphanage in a remote place where adoptions were not allowed. But God knew him. God never forgot him. God hasn't forgotten now. So many people are praying for him. Frankie, some day you will read this and you will know how much you matter, to God, to Mommy and Daddy, your brother and sisters, and to so many more people. You are so loved.  This will happen. My hubby is so full of faith. He keeps saying "God's going to provide". I will be very happy to get past this trial. It is Wednesday 11:45 raining and 62 in Shuyang right now. Not too cold yet thank goodness. I hope he is having a decent lunch. I wish so much he was tucked in and sleeping upstairs right now with a full tummy with his brother and sisters. I am very tired tonight and didn't get to enjoy the night time routine as much as I normally do. I love when they are all home and safely tucked in to bed. With all their blankies and pillows, Allie has enough in her bed with her I sometimes wonder how she fits. It's just a cool feeling knowing they are safe and tucked in for the night. I want him home. Tomorrow I will hit the paper work again. Get all the forms together that I need and fill out the last forms that are not yet filled out. I think we are winding down with that part anyway. If we are able to come up with the money and there aren't any delays he could be home in 3 months. That would be so good. Good night all. Good afternoon Frankie. We love you.
