Thank you Thomas family!!

I just wanted to share this sweet support extended to our family. After we started this journey, I found out that a neighbor that I grew up with across the street was waiting for a referral. I watched Jim and his sweet wife Lyn get their referral and travel to China for their daughter. Then, I watched them travel back to get their son. Lyn ran a marathon for Love Without Boundaries. Her daughter lived with foster parents. Her son lived in the orhpanage. She could really tell a difference. She wanted other children to have the chance to live in a foster home. That was her purpose in raising money while she ran her marathon. I have never met Lyn but from afar she has been quite a supporter.

Yesterday, I went to our mailbox. There was the sweetest valentine card. The outside of the card says "...the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13." The inside has a picture of her youngest two children adopted from China kissing. Inside the card it says, "Hugs and kisses for a Happy Valentines Day! Love, The Thomas family. We pray for Julia often. Hang in there." Do you know how that made me feel? I was so touched. That support felt so good. It meant so much to know that they are praying for Julia. You walk around in this"waiting"phase. You know God's timing is perfect. You try to live for the moment and not get to caught up in the future to much. I just want to thank you all for making my day!!
