We sure hope so ! We are headed to Changsha, in the Hunan Provice where LiLi is (about a 2 hour flight).
Eston and I were talking early this morning (about 4:30am) about how there is no greater a gift that God gives than a life. Today might be the day when God stretches out His hand, opens it and says this is the gift that I have been waiting to give you. Wow...what an honor to be entrusted with a diamond from Heaven.
I opened my bible yesterday to Hosea and my notes at the top read "What is love? Very simply...the answer read "A burden barrier"! Love is when one bares anothers burdens. , My prayer for LiLi is that all the rejection, all the feelings of abandament, religion, curses etc. be left here. I know that God can do that because He has done that for me. Our responability is very simple.....juust spend time polishing the gift. What a great day today will be.
We love to hear from home.
