Blessings that Flow...

Thanks to Barbie and Matt, Chique Studios, and Lisa Allender we are $450 closer to Jace (or Baby Chen Chen in little Nick's mind)!!!  You guys are awesome!  There is a lot of love in those hearts of yours...Thank you!!!


Also special thanks to Harry, Tom, Mary, Addrean, Lauren, Phyllis, Mike and Frank for selling tickets--and ALL of you who read and pray!  Some of you we may never meet, but I want you to know we feel the support!


Sometimes, the weight of the worry (especially financially) really bears down on me~~then I am reminded that sometimes things must happen in stages.  Just when I get scared that we won't make a deadline, it happens!  Again I am reminded that God is in control.  Why I can't keep that in my mind is beyond my comprehension.  


Maybe this is why my house won't sell; or why the property is not selling either...God knows that if we sold the property we could afford to adopt Jace.  Maybe God also knows that we may have somehow taken the glory in it instead of it being a gift from Him.  Maybe I NEED the worry so that i don't become filled with self-righteousness~so I that I SEE the blessings flowing...So instead of complaining about not being able to sell, I should praise God from whom all blessings flow....Flowing from Him~to the hearts and minds of others~into our family.  Thank you Lord for all Your ways and for all Your people....


I decided to change the progress meter to a better one.  Notice it has a ladybug on it!!  Ladybugs are a symbol of good 'luck' in China  ;)
