My sweet little girl. Every time I look at your picture I fall deeper and deeper in love with you. I definitely feel the pull of that red thread bringing us closer and closer together. The funny thing is that when we first got your pictures Joel looked at you and said, "I think she looks like me, she has my dimples." That is so like Joel to take credit for all our children.
Today I went shopping for you. I plan to send you a care package of a pink coat, dress, tights, and a stuffed hippo. You now have a Christmas stocking and your photos are framed to put on the tree. You will be here with us for Christmas in some small way.
Every night as I am putting Ansley and Elliot to bed, I think about you and wonder how your day was. I hope you are being well taken care of and loved. I wonder if you went outside and played. I wonder if someone is saying prayers with you and reading you a bedtime story. I hope you know how loved you are and always have been. You are a child of the Lord and He has loved you even before you were made. I have loved you since Oct. 25, 2009.
This is our story for bringing our beautiful daughter home from China. We hope you enjoy the journey with us and share in our love for this awesome child God is placing in our family. The story continues as now we are adding a sweet little boy to our family as well. Now the story continues (again) with our next adoption. Not sure of who God will place in our family but we are moving forward and know He has already decided and we will soon find out.
The Red Thread
Once our eyes have been opened we can't pretend that
we don't know what to do; for God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls
knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12
