JOY!!!!

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! 

 

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!

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
