Joy, Here We Come!

"One more day" . . . we have been waiting and waiting to recite that phrase! We made it to the end of the countdown . . . Joy, here we come! Mia and I had so much fun organizing Joy's clothes and packing her suitcase. This is all about to become reality!




The bags are all packed, and we are all so excited, we can hardly stand it! We can hardly believe we are going to China, and we can hardly believe that we will meet our little Joy face to face and bring her home. Now, we just pray that all these bags make it to their final destination!

 
 I am thanking the Lord this evening amidst all of the excitement and busyness, that my heart is truly at peace. God is in control, He is sovereign over all! He has planned this adoption since the beginning of time. We are just thankful that He has chosen us to be a part of His plan for Joy's life. There are so many unknowns, yet we know the One who holds the future in His hands. We continue to fervently pray for Joy, as her life, and ours, is about to be changed forever. We pray that God in His mercy will help her, and us, to feel His perfect peace. We can't wait to tell her about Jesus! Precious, little one, we love you and can't wait to meet you! Please join us in praying for Joy and for the country of her birth!
