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.

We are so close. And our precious son is going to be coming home. I can't wait to have him home. To be tucking him in at bedtime with his brother and sisters. Oh, this has been such a long difficult journey. But not without its blessings. We have had to have faith like never before. We've had to even appear crazy to some, when we continued to believe God would provide when it seemed like there was no way. When we started around 10 months ago we needed a huge amount of money to adopt Quan. We just got approved for a partial loan. It would have been great to get the full amount of money needed so we could have "rested" a little during this. But I don' t think we are suppose to. :) And honestly we were just so blessed to get the loan for the amount we got. In the beginning we estimated we needed around $25,000? Now we are estimating we need around $8000 or maybe $9000. Wow. That's exciting. To have gotten that far. Still a little scary because we are down to probably about 2 months until Quan should be coming home. God will provide a way. I can't wait to have him home. I will know he is warm in his bed at night. That he has a full tummy. And that he is with his family that loves him so much! We will all finally be together, to go through everything together. Quan (Frankie) we all love you so much. And God loves you so much. We are so blessed that God chose us to be your parents. We will do what ever it takes. Very soon my precious boy, you will finally be coming home.
