Tickets are BOOKED!

Lots of emotions

 Today, we just finished up another fundraiser.  I am totally OK with being DONE with about a year of fundraisers and am way beyond thankful for all the people who showed up and supported.

It's amazing the kind of people who just seem to be planted at a place (even at a rummage sale), who offer a word of encouragment, who share of an adoption story, who are just curious and ask questions about international adoption, and who just want to support our journey.   I'm humbled and grateful.  

Last week we found out that we got: TRAVEL APPROVAL
We believe that we were called to adopt from China.  I cannot tell you of a specific moment we knew, but we just knew.   We are about 3 weeks out from traveling to China to bring home our son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin to our entire family who already love him and yet haven't met.  What an amazing gift.  

This beautiful little boy will no longer be an orphan.  
We believe that God has placed adoption on the hearts of so many people, and the fact that we have accepted our call to bring home a son from China, makes me love Jesus so much more.  His word says, that He will make orphans our sons and daughters.  What a beautiful God, who loves His children without borders.

"for the God who calls you is faithful, and He can be trusted to make it so.."  1 Thess 5:24.

Please pray for me this week.  I'm super anxious all the time.  We will be leaving soon and our lives will change forever.  We've anticipated this moment for over a year and half.   It's finally almost time to GO.

Thank you for following our journey, it means so much.
