Journey to the Image of God: Dinner with Mom and Dad
http://journeytotheimageofgod.blogspot.com/2007/11/dinner-with-mom-and-dad.html
Journey to the Image of God. Dinner with Mom and Dad. There was, of course, nothing to be afraid of when pulling in the driveway that night; shucks, there would even be presents (hey, I’m still a boy, their boy), but that’s not why I went! With the whirring and stirring of our standard schedules, it would just be nice to sit and chat with my parents. And the adoption was the big news for this occasion. 8220;Can you believe it Mom and Dad? Rose and I are adopting…I am going to China! Pushing past the tear...

Journey to the Image of God: The Will of God, Discerned
http://journeytotheimageofgod.blogspot.com/2007/11/will-of-god-discerned.html
Journey to the Image of God. The Will of God, Discerned. But while May was supposed to bring flowers, the anxiety and confusion nonetheless still stemmed from our episode with Li. We were uneasy in our ability to figure out God’s Will. It would be a lie to suggest we didn’t ask God and ourselves questions. What did we do wrong? Do we even know how to discern Your Will? Mostly, though, we were longing for a sign from God. And somewhere in the mix this email was sent to my parents:. And then there is Jesus...

Journey to the Image of God. Minds Opened, Hearts Expanded. You grow during the journey. You must. In his first Letter to the Corinthians Paul says, “Brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ. I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it. Indeed, you are still not able, even now, for you are still of the flesh (1 Cor 3:1-3).”. Did you pick up on the contents of the “Adoptive Child Desired” from a bit back? The deeper one gets ...

Journey to the Image of God: November 2007
http://journeytotheimageofgod.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Journey to the Image of God. Since committing to Ray I have had a feeling that is difficult for me to come to terms with. It’s so awkward that I’ve never even tried to convey it to anyone. An attempt will be made here. There is a woman named Holly on Waiting China Family (our List Serve) who, along with her husband, has been Journeying to Josiah, their two-year old boy. What I know of her is limited to the postings, but in them you see such testimonies of Christ in her life. Okay, what does this mean?

Journey to the Image of God: Seeing the Light
http://journeytotheimageofgod.blogspot.com/2007/11/seeing-light.html
Journey to the Image of God. This activity and excitement was coming at an already-busy time of the year. That we asked for it did not reduce the stress. When Dr. Kirschner knocked on our door that Saturday at 7:30am it was December 23rd – or “Christmas Eve Eve” for the child in you. Either one of our dear friends Dawn or Dordie were waiting in the wings to save us. Now it just had to be reviewed and accepted between our two agencies. If there was a drawback to having two agencies it was being the prover...

Journey to the Image of God. Entering a New Phase. The plane with cherished cargo took off from BWI Airport into the midnight and made it to Portland, Oregon the next day. You can look it up – the FedEx tracking number was 791646518225 dontchuknowit. The March 7th date was hit and we were thrilled about it, as was Kate of AGCI. Yet another authentication of course! Three weeks later the entire dossier was returned to AGCI by the consulate authenticated! Ray's Mom and Dad. Holder for future text).

Journey to the Image of God: No Doubt, He Started It All
http://journeytotheimageofgod.blogspot.com/2007/11/no-doubt-he-started-it-all.html
Journey to the Image of God. No Doubt, He Started It All. On September 3, 2006 God sent us a young boy we had never met. And our brief encounter gave immediate and unstoppable momentum to our family. Within a minute I found the sweetie pie on the north side of the hexagonal building. She was sitting on the floor, surrounded by several doting children. Stooping down, I introduced myself to a boy, about nine years old. Here we find the brief exchange that changed our life forever:. 8221; I asked. Away real...

Journey to the Image of God: Being Ministered by Angels in the Desert
http://journeytotheimageofgod.blogspot.com/2007/11/being-ministered-by-angels-in-desert.html
Journey to the Image of God. Being Ministered by Angels in the Desert. The next hour was very frantic, painful at times, yet, thankfully, very productive. We agreed that I could make decisions on the fly where reasonable. If Datz would take us the main risk was possibly losing money. We’d have two costs floating in the air for the same service (the home study), and if by some strange chance Frank Adoption got their act together in the next several weeks and. Could finish significantly ahead of Datz.

Bringing Leah Home: First week home
http://www.leahshomecoming.com/2008/07/first-week-home.html
Welcome to the story of our journey to bring Leah home. Check out the links on the right for our story, photos of Leah, and our Travel Journal. Please visit often, and please sign our guestbook. Post comments, or email. Leah's first week home was full of new things, and she did great. The kids seemed to recover quickly, but Molly and I pretty much felt awful from jet lag for a few days after we got home. She loves her room, and she loves girly things like shoes and clothes. She got her first pair of ...
