And now let me introduce....
the beautiful face behind the cake,
Lia Faith....
celebrating her fourth birthday
hugging her teddy bear, that we were able to send her,
provided by services from Ann at Red Threads
making a wish for a forever family
sharing special moments with her friends in her orphanage
and learning to share her candy with her friends, a trait she will definitely
need in a family of seven!
Yes, today was the day, we got that long awaited call announcing our RA had arrived. It was a total of 71 days from LID(log in date)in China until RA(referral acceptance).
We are so excited and are ready to start the count down until our travel. We were told it would be around early April. That seems like so long, but there will be so much to do and lots more paperwork to fill out. My mind is swimming with all of the plans and things we will need to do as we plan to take the vacation of a lifetime, leave adult boys at home to care for things and travel with a family of four and bring home a new little girl.
Wow! I praise my God, and Father that He loves the details of life. I am tired just thinking of all that this will require. Oh, and just in case I failed to mention it, it will also cost a bit more cash than we have at this time. But, just in case I failed to mention it...
My God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and I know that He will provide the funds we need at
Just the right time,
because,
When He calls us to it He WILL see us through it!
