Booked!

That's right, we have booked our tickets. One way or another we are going to China.

Yes, we are still short, but we are trusting in the Lord that He will provide. I mean look at what he has done just today. (worst case scenario we just won't eat for 2 weeks, ha, ha).

I am over the moon excited about meeting Kalia and spending Christmas with her. I cannot wait to share our journey with all of you.

Matt and I are completely overwhelmed by the amount of support and prayers we have received throughout our journey.

There is NO way we could have done it without all of you.

I am exhausted. Physically and mentally so I am off to bed and will post more tomorrow. I just didn't want to end the day without sharing the good news.

Oh Mandi~ I am SO happy for you! I donated and posted on my FB wall, asking others to spread the word, and they have. Even my friend Louise from London is spreading the word and donating! God is good and He is SO faithful and I'm certain will continue to provide until every last need is met. Oh what a joyous Christmas this will be for both you and your precious Kalia! Can't WAIT to see her in your arms at last. It has been quite the journey!!

Love you, girl!!!!

Blessings & Hugs,
~ Tanya

When I woke up this morning and saw over $3000 raised since yesterday (including a few hundred yesterday morning on the original chip-in) I had tears in my eyes. Faith in action! Thank you for letting me have a tiny share in your journey!

I am so excited that you will be going to meet Kalia on Christmas day! Your family has been an example to us of living out your faith and trusting in God. I can't wait to see pictures of you and Kalia together. Praying that her heart is ready and that you will have a smooth and joyful transition as mother and daughter and then as a family!

Blessings for a safe trip to China, again!

I know I keep showing up in your live feed like some kind of stalker, but I have to keep checking in to see how God is providing for you!

I have no doubt this will be a MERRY Christmas!!!
