As we approach the one year anniversary of "First Sight" (referral) of Cheng-Yu, I am reminded of God's goodness, guidance & provision. In the Spring of 2008, I felt this sense of urgency to find an agency that offered an international adoption program that didn't have a 2 or 3 year waiting period. We had been on the list to adopt from Vietnam, but the doors were about to close on that program for awhile. I believe God gave me that sense of urgency becasue our baby was on the way. I spent my entire spring break researching agencies on the internet and talking with them on the phone. I must have spent hours and hours searching, deliberating & praying. I think I drove Scott crazy talking about all the options. Just when I felt like I was running into another dead end, I started reading about the Taiwan program offered by Journeys of the Heart. I felt a little apprehensive because our dealings with this agency would be strickly via phone and email becasue their offices were on the west coast. I wasn't a hundred percent sure, but felt a little twinge of hope in my gut. We applied to the program in May 2008, just 3 months prior to Cheng-Yu's birth. Funny how I scrambled around in uncertainty while God had it all planned out. God's provision. I find myself amazed and ever so thankful for both answered and UNANSWERED prayers! I am also thankful for the deep valleys that led us to Cheng-Yu.
I love when he reaches up for me
