Getting Better

Last night Matt and Anna (and thus myself) slept much better.  Anna needed yet another dose of ibuprofen at 11:15 PM but was ok with just Tylenol this AM.  She is napping now.  If she seems ok we are going to go to the jade and pearl markets this afternoon but are prepared to cancel last minute.  This evening we are scheduled for a dinner cruise down the Pearl River.  We are prepared to cancel that last minute as well.  Matt too was feeling a lot better today and is also napping now.  After breakfast we did some quick gift and souvenir shopping around the hotel and got some squeaky shoes for Anna.  Most of the babies and toddlers we have seen have them on.  They have little squeakers in the heal so when the child or baby walks they squeak.  Like light up shoes with squeakers instead of lights.  Matt said "no way" to them until the sales lady showed him he could take out the squeaker.

Our goals in this blog are two-fold. We want to keep friends and family informed and updated but we also pray that you would be moved to do your part in making the invisible God visible to those who are orphaned or at risk of becoming orphaned. There are so many ways to do something. God’s heart is for the orphan (James 1:27) and if you ask Him for direction in this He will answer.

For those of you sensing to support us, here is how you can do so as of now.

  • PRAISE for her life and for the opportunity we have to be her family.
  • Prayers for guidance in preparing for her to join our family; protection and care for her and direction for the hands caring for her; expedited Travel Approval - much sooner than we woudld anticipate; and leading as we make plans for our 3 other childrne while we are in China.
  • Financial assistance for the costs associated with her adoption (The total will be around $32,000). While it is humbling to include this we sensed that we should. We know that helping financially is a gift some have been given, and we do not have the right to let our pride get in the way of those of you who are called to serve in this way.
