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.

Happy Times

I shared all our struggles. Openly. I want people to think about or be aware of things I didn't give much thought to. I also, want to be able to look back and see how far we have come. I hope it is alright that I was totally honest. I don't want to scare anyone. Things have moved very quickly. He is only home around 4 months. And wow! I have to share some of the amazing, wonderful, good times, where Michael and I have looked at this beautiful boy that is overflowing with joy. The thought of all that has happened in his life in such a short amount of time, and to see the smiles, smiles that didn't exist in the pictures we received from the other side of the world. To be able to be part of such an amazing thing, is such a blessing. He is our son. And he is finally home.
