For the past two days, I have been "adding 16" - hours that is! Beijing is 16 hours ahead of California, and I have been calculating what time it is there & Wondering what Katie is doing! At 10:20, when we board our 15 hours flight - I can stop adding 16 hours & starting living it. In less than 72 hours, I will be able to stop wondering what Katie is doing!
The presence of the Lord has been so strong with our family over the last few days. I can't seem to stop praising the Lord for all His goodness. We have felt Him mostly through all the prayers of our friends - please know we appreciate your love & support!
Next stop - BEIJING!!!
Hi Karen~ I just came over for a visit from "To Mia With Love" and can't wait to follow along on this final leg of your journey to your daughter. Congratulations! It must be so surreal to finally be in this moment that you have been waiting so long for! I can't wait to be in your shoes! Hopefully w/in a few months. We are still waiting on our LOA and TA.
ReplyDeleteHappy travels and God bless! <><
Hugs,

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI followed Tanya over here from Christy's blog.. Congratulations!!!! Katie is absolutely precious!!!
I soon will be following in your footsteps meeting my new daughter in Changsha. Hopefully, on 2/22. Just waiting for TA which is in the air to confirm CA. I cried when I read your prayer requests... So perfectly written. I can relate more than you know, because I too am bringing home a sister for our Ruby Mei. Thank you for eloquently into words what is in my heart. I will be praying for your precious girls!
Blessings,
Diana
Karen,
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you. I dreamt last night that I was on a plane to China and when I woke up, I said a special prayer for you and Becky as I knew you were actually in the air.
Love,
Kim
HI again Karen!
ReplyDeleteKim just put the pieces of the puzzle together for me.
I have heard great things about your sweet family!
I will be anxious to see your photos from China, and I will be praying for all of you!
Blessings,
Diana
