Sooner Rather Than Later

We have our Consulate Appointment for Feb 9!  We ARE going to make it in and out before Chinese New Year!   We will be leaving on Jan 28 or 29 - working out those details today.
Today we are so thankful to be leaving sooner rather than later.  God is good.  Please continue to pray for Mia's heart to be prepared as only God can do.  Pray for Bobby and I as we spend this next week getting things ready.   It is very hard for this mama to think about being so FAR away from my children that we will leave behind.  I've been praying through Psalms 91 and it helps to know that none of us - no matter how far we go -  are never too far from the Father's right hand.  Thank you for your prayers thus far.  They have made all the difference in our journey.
Hold on Mia.   Hope is on the way.

So excited for you my friend ~ though I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed that we won't be sipping lattes at the Starbucks on Shamian together. If there is anything that I can do (in addition to prayer of course) to help you get ready, please let me know!

So excited for you!! I hear that no one is able to blog in China right now so please plan to e-mail someone who can post for you. If you need a volunteer - I'll gladly do it : )
