Tired musings...

Thanks to everyone who has blessed us by choosing to help bring Daniel home! Not more then 6 weeks ago we determined that we still needed about 12 thousand dollars in order to adopt Daniel. Although we are not yet all the way there, we have no question that God is our provider and that he is providing.

Over the past few weeks we have experienced so many miracles. There are so many ways God blessed us though you. We have received prayers of blessing, the best gas lease in the metroplex, an unexpectedly high quarterly bonus, amazingly generous friends and family, and the list goes on. God has encouraged us by your love, humbled us by your generosity and challenged us by your extravagance. What amazing people we have in our lives! I pray that Gods blessings overflow in your lives as they have in ours.

We leave for China with hearts full of the blessing of friendship. Thank you.

Continue to pray for us. Monday we will meet Daniel. He will immediately join us and stay with us throughout the three weeks we are in China. Although it is not likely, we are praying that we can meet Daniels foster family. We understand that he has been with them for the past 4 years. Continue to pray for Daniels adjustment, and ours. He will be experiencing so much change, honestly it’s more than I can really imagine, and yet he will be living it. May God’s mercy and grace abound.

On our first trip to China my mom and dad traveled with us. It was such a blessing to have them along. My dad passed away unexpectedly less then six months after we returned home making that time together in China even more treasured. As I prepare for this trip, I find myself missing daddy more than usual. Daniel was my dad’s name and now our son’s name. I feel sad that the two will never meet.

Well its midnight and I must go to work tomorrow. So, goodnight my friends.
