Heading Home!!!

Anna is tucked in, all is packed and Matt is checking us out of the hotel.  Tomorrow we leave here at 5:45 AM for an 8 AM flight to Beijing.  We depart Beijing at 3:45 PM and arrive in Newark at 5:15 PM (add in 12 hours for the time change).  We are SO excited to get home that there is almost no dread in traveling that long with a 2 year old!  Almost :).  THANK YOU to all of you who commented and sent us emails through our time here.  That support and our faithful God kept us focused.  Each and every correspondence was saved and will be part of Anna's story!  I plan to update upon returning home and say a bit more about our time here so check back after the weekend.

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.
