Update

It's already Friday. Next Friday we'll be in China, preparing to meet Hope in her province. It's impossible to express the emotions that run through your mind at a time like this so I won't even make the effort. Just know that we're excited that God has provided, through His people, the financial means to adopt this child, and the emotional support to wait out the process. Now please pray that Hope will know the Lord, that, as Kevin prayed last night, both her physical and spiritual heart will be healed, and that our family will sacrificially love one another whatever trials may come. Countdown? Six days until departure.
