Finally....going to China! 15 hours and counting.....

In approximately 15 hours we will be boarding our plane to China. There are so many emotions going through me right now. Excitement, anxiousness, fear, overwhelming joy, and the list goes on. How can one person feel all these things at one time. Well it must be the anticipation of almost 4 years of waiting and now it is finally here. I have relied on the Lord's strength through it all and will continue to call on His name as my source of strength and peace. God places desires in our heart in order that we may fulfill our kingdom purpose. Lily is part of that plan. She has been destined to be ours, part of our family here on this earth. It is my honor and pleasure to nurture her and guide her as her mother. I promise to love her and always treat her as the beautiful child of God that she is. Lily was birthed in our hearts long before she was ever birthed on this earth. It is mind boggling when you sit and ponder that for a while. We had to wait because "our" child was not born yet. We must always wait on God's timing in everything. We must not get ahead of Him and lag behind. We must walk with Him, being sensitive to the leading of His voice. We are coming Lily, it won't be long!
