We sure got a blessing today. I got a call at lunch from our agency to give them a call because they had some information for us. He said that we needed to call asap. I thought that they might have told us with what loggin dates we were with. I called and asked what was up and I was told we had a referral. I was so shocked. We were not expecting any news for a while. I could hardly believe it. We have been so disheartened by what has happened over the last 2 months.
Right away I asked for them to email us a picture of our precious child. She is so beautiful. I tried to call Liz with no avail to tell her the wonderful news and could not get in touch with her. She was in a meeting today and her phone was dead and she had it in her office to charge it up. It might be a good thing because I doubt that I could have come right out and told her right then without breaking down in tears. I left her a message to call me, call me, call me, call me.
Her birthdate is October 31, 2007. She is a little over 8 months old now. Our packet is still in Chinese so we do not know very much at all about her. Our agency is sending us the originals overnight.
God is so wonderful. He allowed me to go to Mexico City on a mission trip and He blessed me there. I came back home and He has blessed me again with the referral of my baby daughter. God allowed this to happen this way to give us this blessing when we were least expecting it. It was Him showing that He was in control.
We have already been calling people and showing the pictures off. If you did not get a call, we are sorry. It is hard to focus. Our prayers, and your prayers for us have been answered today. We ask for you to continue to pray for the rest of our journey as we now prepare to go and get her.
May God bless you and keep you.
