Goods News from China

God heard our prayers. Little one has a birthcard, she is officially on her way to adoption. This is the first step to the mountain of paperwork she needs to be eligible to be listed for adoption. God is good, and he continues to care for her. He has a perfect plan worked out, and we just got a glimpse of it. His provision is sweet. We are so thankful for God's love of sweet Little one.
Praise Him!!!

China changes policy AGAIN....

Who's to know what will happen tomorrow, or if we will be here to enjoy or suffer through it. Only God can see what is to come. But we will continue in the full assurance that His plan is perfect.

"I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' saith the Lord. 'Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to bring you an expected end; the end desired." Jeremiah 29:11

To update you, this new policy change means that instead of one agency being able to match a waiting child with a family, and therefore requiring that you be a client with that agency to complete your adoption. Every participating agency can match any of the waiting children. What does this mean for us? A greater number of children are available to a greater number of families. I have been praying for the reigning authorities is China for sometime. As God gave the wisdom to see that change first needed to come from there, and He has heard my prayers, and is moving. We continue to pray over the orphanage authorities hearts, for their desire to prepare a file for little one's adoption.

Once again, praise Him through whom all blessings flow....

A glimpse of unconditional love

I was thinking...how beautiful it is when God gives you a glimpse of his unconditional love for us. I was thinking how my love for "Little One" is God's gift to me. A gift of understanding a little more of the depths of love. The way I can describe it is this: I saw a child, imperfect and full of need, and God's Spirit filled me with such love for this child, that I only see how precious and beautiful she has been made. This is a hard thing, for me, and I imagine many people. Because, don't we all look at the world with criticizing eyes? She's mean, He's funny looking, this job doesn't pay enough, my house is too small. Whateva?! Anyways, I realized today just what a gift God gave me when I first saw precious "Little One". Just how he's grown me in this part of the process. And I love Him for this, because I see people differently, and I am so glad to be changed!

Praise Him through whom all blessings flow...
