We Are Not Alone

Yesterday I faced my fears and shared the darkest depravity of my feelings. I shared that dark place inside that is not pretty. The part inside that says, “No, Lord. This isn’t what I wanted. This isn’t how I want to spend my days.”
Your responses and private messages have encouraged me and reminded […] Read more…

Yoked With Jesus

Today we took Eliza to CHOP for her second appointment at the adoption clinic. Three months ago when she was first seen, she was so shut down emotionally that she could not be evaluated.
She was much better today. She smiled at the doctor and was much more cooperative. She is clearly connected to […] Read more…

Sustaining Grace

I’m sitting in our front room hoping for a few moments of quiet before the dinner hour rush begins. The snow is gently falling outside quietly covering our home in a new layer of pristine white snow.
It’s warm inside. For the first time in a few days the children are playing quietly, and […] Read more…

Such A Time As This

The past couple of days have been much better for Eliza because we are back in the routine of our homeschool, and she likes that.
The girls are copying Bible verses each day in both English and Chinese. They have beautiful handwriting and seem to really enjoy writing the verses.

I’m not sure how Evangeline […] Read more…

Loving Eliza

I’m sorry for the lack of posting since we came home from the hospital.
Mark’s sister and mother were here for a couple of days, and the kids and I had some catching up to do.
Evangeline is doing really well. She hasn’t had any fevers since we have been home. It is just amazing […] Read more…

Snippets Of Home

It’s so very good to be home.

We are so very thankful to God for healing Evangeline’s tiny body and for all of you who prayed us home.
Blessings!

Miracle On 34th Street!

(Just as an aside, CHOP is located on 34th and Civic Center Blvd.)
We are going home!
Praise God!
Are you ready for this?
On Tuesday, the doctor told me Evangeline was septic. In his words, she met, “all criteria for sepsis.” We were told that this could be a long haul.
And then, when they […] Read more…

Amazed

Today has been an amazing day for Evangeline.
She is so very much better.
She is back to her spunky, ornery, spirited self.
I am just amazed at her progress.
When the Dr. came in yesterday afternoon and explained to me about the E-coli and how toxic the die off could be as it […] Read more…

On Angel’s Wings

This is the post I have been dying to write.
Our sweet girl is getting better!
Her fever spiked again last night, but came down quickly and never rose again through the early morning hours!
And all the concerns about the toxic E-coli die off?
We never really saw it.
There are many whispers around […] Read more…

E-Coli

I really want to thank you for your prayers and the precious comments you have left for us. Your thoughts, ideas, and prayers bless and encourage me more than you know. Many times I have read your comments through tears.
We are so very blessed to have such a community of support.
Evangeline and I […] Read more…
