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!

An Extra Celebration!

Sometimes one's constant, desperate, and abysmal longing of the heart can all of sudden in one short moment cease with just a deep, sharp gasp for air. And of course, there are tears that follow. This faintly describes that unforgettable and breathtaking moment when that physical bridge to our daughter was finally complete. One year ago today, she was no longer just in our hearts, she was finally in our arms as well. This day, in addition to her natural birthdate has become Elli's "Bonus" Birthday! This too has to be celebrated .....so back to the Zoo we went!




 




And yes, there was Cheesecake afterwards!
