I can't believe tomorrow will be 1 year since Peter came into our arms and forever into our family! Wow! It feels like a lifetime ago! In honer of Peter's first "Gotcha Day" I'll be re-visting our time in China and sharing never seen before photos from our trip.
During our time in China last year we only had our ipad and were unable to download and share the photos taken from my camera. OH MY GOODNESS y'all! I did my best sharing what I could but y'all are in for a treat!!!
So let's start out with today one year ago....
We had just woken up in Hong Kong and made our way over from the airport hotel were we stayed in the night before. With the mix of jet-lag and excitment we only slept about 4 hours. In the airport we found some seats near the Starbucks and hung out for awhile. It was too early for even Starbucks and although I was dreaming of how good a chi tea latte would be at that moment I was going to be just fine. Madelynn was chipper enough for us all though! That and it was special just being there as this was the same place we waited at before we boarded our plane to get Selah.
We finally made it!! Chengdu, Sichuan China! We stayed at an apartment style hotel called the Somerset. We were incredibly thankful for the exrta space to move around. Below are some pictures of the apartment.
We crashed all too early that night. It would be more sleep before we meet our boy. We would go to sleep praying that God would go before us. That His spirit would be with him, He would be preparing His heart as well as our own.
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. " Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
I love the heart of my Lord. The world despises weakness ( and it's many forms) but our Lord finds it the perfect place to rest His power!
To be continued....
