So loved.

On: Thursday, August 16, 2012

I have really special friends. Not only are they continuing to love me during this much-longer-than-anticipated wait, but they are also loving my daughter (which means the world to me!).

On Tuesday evening, a friend showed up unexpectedly and "kidnapped" me for the evening. We met up with another friend and spent the evening eating Asian food (and ice cream!) and shopping for some  outfits for China baby.

They spoiled me . . . and her. It was such a special evening and a great distraction from the waiting.

Thank you, sweet friends! You blessed me more than you will ever know.

Last month, I was incredibly blessed by many generous women from our summer Bible study. These ladies brought tons of supplies for me to send to my daughter's foster home in China. Untitled
It was such a joy to mail that huge box of needed supplies, knowing that it was one small way we could love my daughter from afar and also meet the needs of other babies in her home. I was blown away by their desire to help these children. I felt like I had a baby shower. :)

The body of Christ is truly a gift.

The wait is long and emotional... so glad you have such great friends to help out! Sometimes other people don't realize how hard it is!
