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 Easter Birthday

This year Elli celebrated both her birthday and Easter together.  As a result, it seemed only appropriate that the ladybugs of last year would give way to the butterflies of this year.  Thus, the festivities took flight!  This distinctive expression helped us all be mindful of  how through the gift of God's Son, we all have access to new life.  Also, how even birthdays take on an entirely different meaning as we are all blessed with another year of opportunity for new growth and a new found freedom in Jesus Christ.  So this year, as Elli turned 6, our "little bug" continues to emerge into something beautiful!
