Hello friends and family~
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. My heart is so full today as I was able to see pictures of our friends' new little one that they met today in China! He is sooo beautiful and precious! We are so happy for you Joel and Melissa! Check out their blog at http://www.fromchinatochambers.blogspot.com/. They are a wonderful family, and they brought their daughter Iris home last year from China. Congratulations, Chambers!! We can't wait to meet Owen!
We are so ready to be on a plane to meet our new little girl! I want to hear her laugh, see her smile, hold her and watch her while she sleeps...Oh, how my arms long to hold her! Its such a hard feeling to try to explain to others how you really can MISS someone you have never met. My mind races with thoughts like, "how will we fit another child in this house?" Or, " should we bunk Jack and Sophie, or not?" I have so many questions like that. But none of that is important, is it? I mean, who thinks that she cares? Doesn't life have a way of showing you whats really important? Healthy food every day, medications and medical attention when needed, love and care, a family. Those are things that matter. Those are NEEDS, the rest is just fluff. The rest is just incidentals. We have more than enough space for her and all her things. I just want her HOME!!!! Please continue to pray with us that the paperwork and waiting process go SUPER fast! Pray that God will put her file on the top of every stack! Pray that God will blow our minds in how He provides the money for her to come home. Oh, how I love Him!!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Leslie
