In the Car and Ready to Go. . .

Faith is ready to go to China and meet her brother! She has packed and unpacked her suitcase a dozen times. She also has her animals boarding the car for the airport.

The Groovy Girls pony is driving the car and has many friends ready to go with her. :) Faith makes sure everyone is buckled in and safe.

Faith is so happy about having a brother and ready to meet him. She keeps saying; "let's sit down and talk about China". So, we sit at the table or on the sofa and talk about Skylar and China and why he needs to come live with us. Faith is so understanding and compassionate for a three year old. She is going to be an awesome sister! :)

Time is ticking down ~ 33 hours and we're off to China!

Skylar's Question

Skylar and I were having a conversation. You know, Mommy and son solving the world's problems. When Skylar asked; "Mommy, as I grow big will you grow little?" I tried to explain to him that as he grows bigger, and older that Mommy and Daddy will not get small, but just older. (We may get shorter, but I think that would have just confused the issue.)

Then he said the most beautiful thing. Skylar said; "Don't worry Mommy, I'll take care of you if you get too old."

What a precious, sweet soul my wonderful son has. I am such a blessed Mommy. :)

The Call

Every call has a beginning.

A quiet moment when GOD whispers a promise

to a mother’s heart.

A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts the journey set before him.

A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns, casting its first light on a chosen threshold.

A gentle knock, a closed door opens.

A sacred invitation sent by GOD, leads to the other side of the world.

Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows,
praying for someone to care.

And then one morning, on an ordinary day,

an orphan’s life changes.

GOD sends them a second chance, through you. . .

KISSES IN THE WIND

The Waiting Child's Lullabye

I hold you in my heart

and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me,

at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are . . .

what's taking us so long?

But remember child,

I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze

and let it touch your skin . . .
Because tonight, just as always,

I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling,

I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real,

not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always,

I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms

and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses
