Asher,
Guess what??? In just three weeks, mama and daddy will be there with YOU!! Can you believe it? In so many ways this year has flown by and in other ways I can't believe that it's been almost a year since we saw your face. I can tell you one thing...when I saw your face, I just knew. I knew God made you for us, and for His glory! Right now, you are an orphan, but soon little man, you will be a baby brother, son, grandson, and friend. You will not be defined by that label anymore from that day forward! I know and believe that God is going to do amazing things in your life...the same BIG GOD that created you and formed you perfectly from head to toe, will take you places you never imagined if you just let Him. I can't wait to see your daddy with a son. I may be crying as hard as you are on December 6th! Only a few more sleeps in that big orphanage...your crib is ready for you at HOME.


Love, 
mama

    Em- hang in there!!! EVERYTIME I read your post it makes me cry. So thank you! I know God is smiling on you and Jay for following in his plan. We will continue to pray for strength during the next couple of weeks. I know you will need them. I can not wait to follow the trip as you update us all. May God give you peace and patience in the next couple of weeks. Christmas can not come soon enough! Love you all!!!!! Melissa
