I really am at a loss for words
The Lord just keeps blessing our journey,
bringing us such joy!
Joy is a word that just keeps getting repeated over
and over when it comes to Miss Maggie Fu!
Just recently a traveling family was able to meet our
precious girl and give her a little care package from us...
which included a photo album...
with our pictures!
Watch as she receives our package (it is a little long but the first few minutes says it all) and learns that it
is from her forever family - us!
WOW
Just WOW!
Did you see at the very beginning when she was told
that her Mama and Baba had sent this care package to her??
Did you see that she smiled and said "Mommie"
while she clapped her hands!!!
Did you see that???
I think I have watched that part over an over!
JOY!
Here is some of what this wonderful family had to say
about our precious Maggie:
"Oh Annie. We got to spend a lot of time with
your precious daughter. She was thrilled with her package and was
carrying her pictures around and showing people. We have a ton of
pictures and video. Can't send them right now but will as soon as
possible. She is a joyful and loving child. She is just precious."
and
"Maggie is a ray of sunshine. Her personality
is as big as her smile. You and your family are so blessed to have
her as a daughter. I was able to tell her that you are coming to get
her as soon as you can and that the hugs and kisses that I gave her
came from you. God has truly blessed your family with this special
girl."
Apparently, our sweet girl carried our pictures around with her all day, showing everyone!
Joy!

Joy!
God is just so, so good and we are getting closer to
our two beautiful girls!
It has been a very long journey but His timing is
always perfect and in this wait, there has been purpose, there has
been growth and there – has – been – joy.
We may never know why Lucy
and Maggie have had to wait as long as they have, why our journey couldn't have been quick and easy (easy is a relative term here - hehe) but I know now to
trust and not question, to let go and just walk the path that the
Lord has prepared for us and for them.
Please keep our precious
new daughters in your prayers as the Lord prepares their hearts for
the new forever family – us!

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! I swear, I keep coming back here and reading everyone's sweet comments and of course I just have to watch that video again:):):) Gotta get to China!!!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, I have only 'spoken' with you via emails. This video is so precious! How old is she? We are home 6 months with a now 7 year old, they look about the same size except that our baby has grown a lot in this short time! God bless you and your beautiful family, I am excited for you!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Kim! She is said to be 9 years old but was found as a toddler, not an infant so her age could be off a bit. We are also bringing home Lucy, who is said to be 9 as well. However, we know she has got to be younger. She is tiny and was said to be found at 4 years old. Her finding ad pic, however, looks to be of a (maybe) 2 year old. Anxious to see what the International Adoption Clinic here thinks. Thanks again dear Kim!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how I would feel if I received this video! She is beautiful and precious beyond words! I cannot wait to follow you to China. I hope you blog your trip so I can see her happiness.
ReplyDeleteBeyond precious! What treasures you have! Can't wait to see them home with you.
