On your mark, get set...

Finally. This will be our last posting from the states. After knowing about Bai Lu for 20 months, meeting her 15 months ago, pursuing her for 11 months, having our papers in China for 5 months, waiting since signing papers for 2. 5 months, having a travel date for 3 weeks--it is finally time. Our next posting will be from Guangzhou, China. We can't believe that this is finally happening, but it is. Back in January when we first inquired about Bai Lu, I remember thinking that this would probably never happen. It didn't seem normal; it sisn't seem realistic; and it didn't seem feasible. But the God we serve knows better. Through this whole process, I am reminded of Isaiah 43:5- "Do not be afraid for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and you from the west." We know the God we serve has a plan for this little girl and we are just called to be obedient. With that said, we embark on a new part of our life-being parents of 5 kids, having an English Language Learner in the home, and learning how to increase our capacity to love. God is Good All the Time.
