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.

Soon...

So, we are almost there. We know when I am leaving, we have the flights, and the inside China arrangements are being made. We have under four weeks. As I am rushing around to get everything done...(still so much to do) I was thinking I will need every bit of the time to get everything done. Then I checked the weather report in Jiangsu and saw it is 19 degrees right now. Then suddenly the time can't come soon enough. I pictured him all bundled up in his bed, and once again, I want him home so badly..... Very soon.

      Thank you Annie, And your daughter too! It feels like such a long time we've both been waiting. But God is so faithful! And I know he is doing a great work in our lives while we wait.
