Bailey

Bailey is aware of what we are doing. He is very excited. Tonight he said why are we taking her home where is her family?  I explained orphanages and we are bringing her home to have a mom and dad and brothers. God has called us to be his hands and feet and serve with out questions. No one deserves to not be loved. We are on this earth to love everyone and bless without expectations. Bailey said we will do that and we will teach her about Jesus and take her to church and she will be my sister. I love his heart and compassion he had.

What have you done to bless someone this week. I pray every day this is what God has asked us to do and not what we want. I want this to he his will and plan.

LOI

The LOI is done. That is all we can do. We sent it to the agency. We wait for a response. We wait to see if China will allow us to take this little angel home who needs a mom and dad. What if they say no will she stay there forever? Will she ever have a family a mom and a dad and brother? Her face is to die for. I want to show you. Mark 9:36&37  He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

What will it be like

Today was her second day. She arrived looked at this new teacher and new environment all of her friends sleeping mom handed her to me and left. She cried we went for a walk and she cried we talked and played and she found comfort for brief moments. I held her and wondered is this what it is going to be like. Am I going to be able to make her happy, can I stop the tears, will she feel safe in my arms. Will she look to us as mom and dad? Was this little one year old placed in my arms today a reflection of a year from now, is this going to be my five year old? I pray she will love us, I pray she will trust us and allow us to meet her every need. I want her home now. I want to tell her she is going to be okay. I want to hell her how beautiful she is. Does she hear this now? Will this be new words? I can not wait to see.
