And the journey begins!!!

We are on our way, Naomi Xin Yu!! Our journey to China is now underway. You probably will have no idea your world is soon to change until you are bundled up and headed to the train station and even then you, most likely, will not know how things will change. I pray you are not scared for long, that you will feel safe with us quickly. My heart is full of emotion and my eyes keep filling with tears, threatening to spill over. I think your mama will be a hot mess before you even come through our doors!! 

God has provided for you to come home in ways we could never have imagined. He has provided for us at the last minute - exactly when we needed it. We were short almost $2500 days before we needed to leave, and given the last $1000 in the bank parking lot! We were expecting to have a wild adventure of local taxi drivers and foot exploration instead of trustworthy drivers and paid tours. But God provided! He moved people's hearts to be more than generous to bring you home! You are loved more than you know, little girl!! There is no other explanation for all of this, then God loves you - you have worth! You have so much worth. We have paid a great price for you, to ransom you from a life that no child deserves. But Jesus has paid the ultimate ransom for, not just you, but all of us!! He has made us a part of the most beautiful adoption story!! He died on the cross and rose from the grave 3 days later, paying the ultimate price, ransoming us from sin and death. He has given us the opportunity to become a part of His family. All we need to do is believe in Him and follow His word! We will soon whisper this story to you as we hold you and rock you! We will sing and dance together in celebration of His great love!  

Your little world is going to expand very quickly. Here are some pictures of our morning as we head towards you..

Your brothers are ready for you to be home - they have been counting down!
