We are still hoping to be China bound by Thanksgiving, amazed at all God has done to answer our simple prayer to please prepare Lucy’s heart to join our family. The team that visited her orphanage this month (that I mentioned here and on Facebook) have sent us stories and pictures and videos that amaze our worker at Lifeline. A very different experience from the norm. I keep trying to process it all and boil it down to a coherent story for a blog post and then I receive more pictures and “meet” another member from the team online… my head is swimming and my heart is full.
p.s.
Here is just one of many wonderful stories from the team’s week in China.
There are many more to be found if you scroll through Kelly’s blog.
Lucy Joy is so adorable and very precious in the eyes of God and in ours! We are very excited to welcome her into our family!
She is a beautiful child and your family will be blessed abundantly through her!
I have been checking and checking and checking for some news here on the blog!!! What an amazing blessing to have a team there loving on your Lucy Joy!!!! SOON! It will be very SOON!! We are praying every. single. day.
Love you guys so much.
Your word amazed caught my attention this morning and the the the lyrics to the song Amazing Love came to mind. We are amazed at the things God does that seem small and large but compaired to what these words convey it is no surprise:
I’m forgiven cause You were forsaken
I’m accepted, Your were condemned
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within Me
‘Cause You died and rose again
Amazing love, How can it be?
That You, my King would die for me?
Amazing love, I know its true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor you
You are my King
Yes, you are right… why would we be surprised? I am going to have to go listen to the song now!

We will pray for your family as we know you are anxiously awaiting TA!!
