The Blog is Back!

After some time in hiding we believe it is safe to bring the blog back. I will fill in the blanks later and share all that has happened since we shut it down (sorry for the break in communication).

Okay - we are getting ready to travel. We will get on the plane headed to get Mei in about 38 hours from now. Bailey is going with us and our excitement and anticipation continues to grow.

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and could  not go back to sleep. I am reading a book entitled "Adopted for Life" and as I read it I began reflecting on my last visit with Mei. I specifically reflected on the way he cried and struggled to get back on his feet after I laid him down in his crib. I reflected on how I stood watching and fighting back tears on the other side of the glass. I remembered the longing in my heart that day to make this little boy a part of our family. And I remembered thinking at that moment, "I will do whatever I can to return and take you out of this place. I will not forget you. Lord, do not let me forget this moment and may it spur me on to do whatever it takes to return and take this child home."

Here we are...15.5 months later getting ready to go get him!!! How amazing is my God. My God is the GREAT Mountain Mover. I look forward to sharing the journey as we continue to share Mei's story for Abba's glory!
