2 things I want to remember


Red Thread Bracelets-
When we adopted Mary
I sent out these bracelets as a reminder to our friends and family to pray for the child that God had chosen for us.

9 months later we were holding her.

We have done the same thing for Xiang Xiang.

100 bracelets so far.

I imagine I will give out about 200- before we get on the plane.

Indescribable feeling of gratitude.



New Shoes-

I was feeling sorry for myself
so I went shopping for baby shoes.

He is so tiny I had to buy size 12-18 months.

............................I hope he likes to be held.

I REALLY just want to sit on a park bench in Guangzhou and hold him.

Maybe he will let me............................

At any rate-
If he decides to run away from me (while screamin' bloody murder)........
at least he'll be sportin' some righteous new kicks!

Peace.

  3. Ahh, I don't have a bracelet, but we have been covering him in prayer and I have to believe he is gonna love having you hold him as much as you want to hold him. Yep, that is just what I am going to believe. Great shoes mom!!!
