It's so hard to believe that 7 months ago today Craig and I took one of the scariest plane rides of our lives to a province far, far north in China... the province of Gansu, to the city of Lanzhou. We arrived (thankful to be alive and off the plane) and I pretty much instantly began to feel butterflies within my stomach-knowing that within less than a few hours we would finally be able to look at, touch, hold, and begin life with this amazing, strong-willed, determined, smiley little boy.
It's still a journey of figuring things out, wrestling with ourselves about what true obedience to The Lord looks like, and how to love these four kiddos with the same unconditional love our Father so freely gives. To say it's all rainbows would be a big, fat lie.. but to say that we are thankful, proud, and working very hard together to bless The Lord in our efforts would be very accurate....
Luke is doing well and continues to amaze us with the progression of his English and with his witty personality. He definitely has his sisters, Craig, and myself on our toes~ at all times!!
****For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 100:5 NIV)****
