When one life ends, one begins.

We have two blog worlds we follow. The adoption blog world and the congentive heart defect world. We have met some from both worlds. Some even over lap....the Brown family! We follow the Gledhill's blog very closely. Their 11 month old baby was born with the same defect as Austin only it is on the left side of the heart which makes it much worse. Their baby was put on the transplant list 3 days ago, and today, another family's loss was the Gledhill's blessing. Gracie received her heart just hours ago. Please pray for Gracie and her family as the new heart is in, but there are some serious complications, and for the family who lost their baby, but so generously donated its organs for another. The site will help you see life in an eternal perspective. **Gracie is rejecting her new heart. They don't know yet if she got a bad heart or what has happened. Please pray for her.http://thegledhillfamily.blogspot.com

We are so glad that our lives have overlapped in so many ways. It seems that the Lord intended for us to be friends :)

My heart is broken this morning as I read Michelle Gledhill's post. Her plea to Gracie and Heavenly Father touched me. I can't even imagine being in her position. Almost a year ago Kai was two beds away from Gracie Gledhill. Michelle and Gracie have endured a huge year. My prayers will be that they both may find peace with the Father's will.

Love

Did I just hear that?

Today I was at W*lM*rt and I had the WEIRDEST experience. I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it. I was at the self check out and the worker that handles those came over to Nini and put her hands on Nini's cheeks and literally put her nose against Nini's nose. Okay....don't know you, plus it is serious cold and flu season. I pulled the cart back quickly. The lady was talking to Nini and asking her how old she was and telling her how cute she is (she is that). Then she said to me, "where did you get her from?" That question threw me. I have been asked where she is from, what nationality she is, but never, "where did you get her from?" I said China, but was thinking, "does she think I got her from a store or something?" This was just the beginning of what was the MOST outrageous conversation I have ever been apart of. She asked me her name. I told her and she said, "Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that name."...

Maylin's room

Here is an update on painting. The doors continue to be a nightmare. We don''t have doors on the girls bathroom and no doorknobs on any of the other doors. Hopefully next week. I love everything else. Many of you asked about the glaze in the kitchen. It is an oil based glaze that comes in black, white, brown. You roll it on with a small roller and then take it off with a rag, by blotting it. You can make it darker or lighter depending on how much you put on and how much you take off. Here are pictures of Maylin's room. I was scared to make a change with 2 colors, but I think I like it. I don't know if you can tell but on the pink paint it is a wash (first white swirly, then pink) with light white flowers like the top pink ones. I picked words to go around her room that may inspire her. The Chinese translation is underneath. Of course, we used Meng, that was her first name...Meng ni and they called her Nini. The words are in vinyl and the flowers were painted using a pa...

Happily ever after

NieNie Dialogues: April 15, 2019 Christian is the most important person in Stephanie's life. She made this post about him. She wrote about how much she loved him and he loved her. Every year she dedicates a song to him as they enter another year as husband and wife. She said, "Everyday I pray to God, thanking him for Christian. I thank God that he is my husband, my protector, and greatest defender. I thank God that Christian loves and respects me.......And I thank God that I will be with Christian forever and even to infinity and beyond." I am not married, but I related to this post because I love my dad. He is my protector and my provider. He really takes care of our family. He is so great. I can tell my mom loves him too. Even though it embarrasses me, I love to watch my parents hug and kiss. I am glad we are sealed together. After reading this post, I decided I needed to write in my journal characteristics I want in a husband. These are the things I wrote: Must l...
