Conception Of The Heart

Conception Of The Heart

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." - Matthew 6:21

It is amazing how God does not limit conception only to the womb. I am a perfect example of this unconventional, yet equally profound miracle. It was approximately 22 years ago when a little girl from China was placed in my heart. It is there that she has grown until God said it would be time for delivery in the near future. That message came on January 18, 2011 to be exact. The mysterious thing is that even as long as I have carried her there, the news meant she would surprisingly yet pleasantly come early to us. What we thought could possibly be another 5 years, suddenly turned into 5 months. Another perfect illustration of our little thoughts, plans, and ways compared to our Great God's! He never ceases to amaze us! And for those who might wonder, yes there are excruciating emotional labor pains!!! So here we are, and although this is by no means the beginning, and certainly not the end, we welcome you to join us on our mission...... to love Ellianna!

We will keep you posted, as our journey continues to China on May 24th, 2011!

Beijing

We arrived in Beijing on the 26th of May to get acclimated to our new surroundings, recover from jet lag and to do some site seeing. All in three days no less!  Our anxious hearts however were really in another part of China, where our daughter unknowingly awaited our arrival.  As Malee had mentioned to me, "1.3 billion people may call this home, but this is my delivery room".  Knowing that we were in a place of one of the 7 wonders of the world made no difference in our minds.  However distracted we were, our minds were still struck by a sense of awe and wonder.   Here are a few pictures of The Forbidden City, Tienanmen Square, The Great Wall of China and the Summer Palace.
