The road which we've traveled to become parents has been long and unexpected. It's a journey that has required faith & patience. The scripture that spoke to my heart the most during our journey is Isaiah 29:11: For God knows the plans that He has for us. Plans to prosper and not harm us to give us a future filled with hope.
This same journey has led us to China to meet the destiny that He has planned for us and our daughter. The longing, uncertainty and sadness has been replaced with hope, awe, thankfulness & pure joy on our way to her. I heard someone say, God can dream a bigger dream for you and that is sooo true. He has done exceedingly, abundantly above ALL we even ask of think.
I think the saying goes that "the best things in life are worth waiting for."
