The agency had several families interested in Jiang Yi Hua. We were asked to fill out mountains of paperwork. They scheduled a conference call interview with us once the application and information had been reviewed. My journal has the following entry: " Lord, we trust your answer. We have peace that you are in control. May You alone control this decision for the best outcome for all. If the door is to be closed, let nothing and no one open it. If it is to be open, let nothing and no one close it."
Then God gave me these verses in my daily reading from I Samuel 17:37. " David said, 'The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine."
How does that apply, God reminded me of all the times and ways He had opened the right doors, perfectly controlled timing, and closed the wrong doors. Will He not do the same in this?
On May 14 we received updated pictures of her. We were all smitten. Who wouldn't be???
Becoming a sister of this amazingly beautiful little girl is so exciting I have a feeling that the trip to China will be hard on me but I hope it will all be worth it .
