One Year ago today.



Wow. One year ago Brent and I came down an elevator in a hotel in Lanzhou, China. The doors opened, we walked out and saw our little girl who had been in our hearts and prayers for the past year. She wasn't very happy to see us. She cried, she clung to the orphanage director. We had to get back in the elevator and they thrust her in with us as the doors closed.





For all practical purposes, she was cripple. Her right foot was so turned in she had a callus on the top of her foot because that is what hit the ground when she walked. on top of all that, she didn't speak a word of English.










God has indeed been transforming this dear child in this first year that we have been blessed to have her in our family.







Just look at her now. She always has a big smile on her face and she's everybody's friend. She loves her family, is now fluent in English, walks like a pro and loves to hear stories about Jesus.







God is Good, all the time.
