Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms reading this! We had a really nice day starting with a wonderful worship service and ending with a nature hike at Patasco park followed by Chinese food for dinner! Both the beginning and ending of our day reminded me of the wonder and majesty of our great God! The boys made me some sweet cards and brought me beautiful flowers, but we all missed our little Fu Juan. Only 3 more weeks until China!!!! All day today I caught myself saying, "Three weeks from today we will be off to the airport....flying over the ocean....trying to sleep on the plane...." Our Visas arrived Fedex a few days ago and our passports are looking quite official sporting a full page Chinese Visa complete with a Great Wall picture :) Still chipping away at our last few weeks of school and trying to prepare for the "big trip"! I have to say, no one is too motivated at this point to work a whole lot. Our thoughts are with a little girl in China and our upcoming adventure! It doesn't help that the weather has turned beautiful as well and some days it feels as if summer is all ready here (although today there was a nip in the air).
Hiking at Patapsco on Mother's Day
We are so awed by the way God has recently placed specific people in our lives to help us during this amazing time and to share in the blessing: A friend with a Mom who happens to work for United Airlines (maybe we WILL get that window seat after all!), a Chinese friend who translated our letter to our daughter for us, a neurosurgeon and a pediatric orthopedic surgeon anxious to give an opinion and see our daughter when we return, not to mention the many people who have shared their China experience. All of these wonderful people have blessed us with their talents and encouragement. And most of all everyone reading these words who will lift us up to the Lord in prayer! For all of you we are so grateful and count ourselves truly blessed!
