Love that!!<br />erikaA Cup of Cold Waterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069512267861675016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710176162339679483.post-57384127696803256232011-03-04T08:21:28.274-05:002011-03-04T08:21:28.274-05:00Congratulations!!

I wonder if your Will knows their daughter!?! She was known a Ginger @ Sheppard's Field. If you find out that they did indeed know each other, and would like her contact info, email me and I will ask her if its ok! khmervyn@telus.net Funny I was looking at the link to the orphanage when I recognized our Addison's sweet friend!<br /><br />KimCanada to China and back!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03570264670402697106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710176162339679483.post-12692876531833854812011-03-01T13:52:47.287-05:002011-03-01T13:52:47.287-05:00Congrats Sharon!

I would love to go back.....however my husband is not there, yet!?! Reading this gives me hope that if it is God's will for our family, He will open my husbands heart to the possibility. <br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this! We will be lifting your sweet family up in prayer!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KimCanada to China and back!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03570264670402697106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710176162339679483.post-46244292176973989062011-02-28T02:07:17.319-05:002011-02-28T02:07:17.319-05:00Oh Sharon, I don't even have to tell you how m...Oh Sharon, I don't even have to tell you how much this story touches my heart. I have a HUGE lump in my throat, goosebumps and tears blurring my vision as I type this. God is GOOD... He is BETTER than Good! And HE will surly provide and make this happen. He led you there and 'wrote it in the sky' for you, and I know He will be your Jehovah Jireh! <br /><br />It's no secret that I have a special place in my heart for Fujian children. Hmmmmm...wonder why!?! ;) The resemblance gave me GOOSEBUMPS... and all the other DETAILS... WOW! ONLY God! I'm BEYOND excited for you and your family. He is such a handsome little man and I can't WAIT to see him in your arms! I just love how God is in the details. Now I'm praying that you get Isabel as your guide again! Wouldn't that be amazing!?! I love how God is in the details, so HE can make it happen!<br /><br />Oh how I wish I could just have you over for coffee. I think you need to move to MN!! ;) <br /><br />My heart is longing to go back already, too. Please keep us in your prayers, that everything is in God's timing. We have been checking into some things. But it's hard for my hubby to have the faith in such a time as this, when the finances are simply not there. But that's what faith is all about! In the meantime, we are praying and trusting that if it is God's will, HE will make it clear! <br /><br />CONGRATULATIONS and God bless! <><<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />~ TanyaTanyaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273839306382041488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710176162339679483.post-49499471641575202792011-02-28T01:00:24.834-05:002011-02-28T01:00:24.834-05:00Praise the Lord for stepping out in bold faith and...Praise the Lord for stepping out in bold faith and trusting that He will in His perfect timing bring you and your son together!

I had been struggling over a little one we sponsor before I read your blog and since that time my husband and I prayed ALOT and submitted our contract to an agency on friday. We will also need so many prayers as we are trying to get a specific child that is not even on the shared list, so God will have to move mountains if this is the child he has chosen for our family. We too believe that this IS God's will for our family as I can not get her out of my heart and mind. So we are stepping out in faith to see what God's plan is. My hope is that it is this one child but I do know that His ways are not our ways so we have no way of knowing other than following through with our dossier ect and see where He leads us:) So very excited as I know your family is too. Will is sooooo very precious and I will be praying for him!!!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514407039834477303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710176162339679483.post-63425617485503093322011-02-27T20:47:22.268-05:002011-02-27T20:47:22.268-05:00STILL can't believe it.
