Well, the bags are packed and hopefully being loaded onto our plane heading for Beijing.  We are sitting here in the Seattle Airport waiting to board our plane and I have so many emotions swirling around in my heart.  It is hard to believe that after a year and 2 months I am about to become a mommy for the 5th time.  As I think about the magnatitude of the weight of this miracle that is about to take place I am overwhelmed with gratefulness that God would have enough confidence in me to give me this gift of another son.  Over the past week I have been reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  His words have penetrated my heart deeply.  I so desire to not only bring my Joshua home but that my heart mind and soul be transformed by a God who loves with with reckless abandon.  I so want to come home with a renewed heart and spirit to live out a "crazy type" love that brings a smile to the the face of the one who made me.

May every word I speak and every thing I do speak to the God who began this miracle that is about to come to reality.

See you in Xi'an.
