Marveling

Just a quick note, will post more later...

He is faithful.  He covered us and made the way as we traveled into the past...the enormity of a connection that was made during the recent Spring Festival that led us to a village, and into a home to see a woman who says she is Potato's paternal Aunt...is NOTHING short of MIRACULOUS.  I will detail that in my next blog.  For those who read this and believe that God is not involved or interested in the details of our lives...you need to read this story.

We saw her.  We heard a story that fills in gaps of a story that was told to us nearly seven years ago now...and we sat in a room with three different people who at one point and time, claim to have shepherded our girl from one step until the next.  Mercifully, we did not see the potential biological parents...but avenues opened for more research, more people to search for, and hope for resolve through scientific testing.

Our eyes were opened again to His mercy, His grace, and the individual plan He has for each of us...it was overwhelming for me and so life-giving to my faith.

The sun was shining on us as we arrived in the village, and Potato and I spoke many times during the day about how God has had his hand on her life from the beginning...how he was with her when she was first born (part of her story we were told), along each step that led her home to us, and ultimately to yesterday when we returned to that village...He was PRESENT, it was undeniable.
