We are so smitten with this little girl . . . we can't wait to meet her, know her, and love her! Such a look of determination on that little face! Apparently, she likes hats . . . I see much "dress-up" going on in the Metzgar household! From the moment we laid eyes on her, there was just something about her eyes. They are deep and soulful . . . I simply get lost in those beautiful eyes. Her name, Linda, means "beautiful", and her Chinese name, Rui, means "precious one". She is a beautiful, precious child of God, and we are so looking forward to discovering who our heavenly Father has made her to be.
"I praise You because You made me in an amazing and wonderful way!" Psalm 139:14
We are praying for her little heart and mind as she attempts to grasp what is about to happen. So much change! We pray that through it all, she will come to know and understand the love her Father has for her. Her earthly daddy is ready to go get her and adopt her into our family. I just can never get over how adoption here on earth relates to our spiritual adoption. What a perfect picture of love!
"For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. IN LOVE He predestined us us to be adopted as His sons and daughters through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will." Ephesians 1:4-5
