Her Shoes

Soon a little girl will be wearing these shoes..
Will she run in these shoes?  Play?  Laugh?  Cry?  We'll soon find out.

After four weeks of waiting, we received the Travel Invitation.  My dad and I booked our flights and are leaving for Beijing November 7!!!  We'll be home the day before Thanksgiving and will have much to be thankful for. 

I'm thankful for my dear husband who also waits in anticipation for his daughter as he serves his country.  I'm thankful for my boys who give me much joy and lively activity.  I'm thankful for my dad who travels with me to China.  I'm thankful for my in-laws who will care for the boys while I'm gone.  I'm thankful for my church and friends who are constantly praying for us, reaching out to us and meeting our unspoken needs.  I'm thankful to our great God who has called us to a journey of faith and obedience..  loving and surprising us along the way.

I've thought about and prayed for who will fill these little girl shoes.  We soon will meet her and love her with all our hearts. 

Pray for all the many details to be worked out in the next couple weeks --
