She's home!!!




What a fun night! We joined about 50 other people in welcoming home J from the Philippines tonight! M has been smiling so much that I think her face hurts. I don't know if you can tell from the first picture, but J went straight to M and gave her a big ole hug! In addition to M, the three other kids from their orphanage (who have only been in the US for a couple of weeks) were also there to join in the welcome! God is amazing. I will never ever forget walking away from that orphanage over three years and looking at the face of J. M talked about her everyday for months. We have prayed that she would have a home for so long and God not only gave her parents, but in such God-fashion, He outdoes himself and gives these kids their dearest friends back to grow up with. Oh, I how I stand in awe of Him!
