The past few days have been a little difficult. I have found myself rejoicing with those who recieved their letters of acceptance (LOA) from China and wondering where ours might be. I've had to come to terms once again with things I thought would be, but are not yet. I've had to press into to the pain of disappointment and the peace of HIS timing. I don't even think I can put into words all that is in my heart right now, so I'll let a couple of Jason Upton's songs do it for me. I do see Him holding my hand as I get up to walk a road I wasn't expecting and picking me up each time I stumble on it. He once again is more than I could ask for and a Papa who comforts like noone else.
We are still asking for Emma's release and all the final paperwork we need. Thanks to all who have faithfully stood by us as we enter this last push to bring Emma home. It's hard and there is just no way around it, but I truly can't imagine doing this without the family and friends He's so graciously hedged us in with. I know it won't be long until the pain subsides and the joy of all we've asked for will be upon us...so until then we do what only He has graced us to do and that is wait and rest in a God who has a perfect plan.

We have so been there. In fact, my mom bought me a plaque that says, "We plan. God laughs."
You know God's timing is perfect. You know there are reasons behind this wait. Rom.8:28.
I know how hard it is!!!!!! My heart hurts for you. Hang in there! Miss Emma Faith will be home soon and the pain of the wait will vanish like the fog in the light of the sun.
Hang in there knowing your precious one is in His hands and you are, too. There's no better place to be.
We miss seeing you guys!
Love ya'll!

Precious Ones, it is so comforting & encouraging to know that you are "surrounded" by those who care & pray. We WILL praise God in our wait. Love you, Mom
