Here we go

We leave for China in four days! 

I can't believe it.

I will hold my boy in one week from today.

One week!

I have waited a lifetime for this moment.

Since I first read the book about Gladys Aylward when I was 8 years old 

I have dreamed of China.

I have loved its people, its culture and its land.

God had plans. Big plans.

He planned for me to read a book about China

when I was 8 years old

and fall in love with its people

its culture

its land.

He planned for me to travel across oceans and mountains

and adopt one little boy that stole my breath away.

All for love. Because He first loved us. 

We love because He first loved us. 

This is grace. This is redemption.

This is earth shattering.

This is my son.

Here we go, Friends.

Here. we. go.
