...And you may ask yourself - What is that beautiful house? And you may ask yourself - Where does that highway go? And you may ask yourself - Am I right? ...am I wrong? And you may tell yourself - My God!...what have I done? (Talking Heads, 1980)

Nine years ago Mark and I set off on a journey. It was a journey that would embed the children of China into our hearts forever and teach us that God's plan is WAY better than our plan. It has been a journey into faith, obedience and abundant blessings. Over the past nine years we have seen God's hand at work in our lives as we traveled through the wilderness in search of His plan for our lives upon this earth. In April of this year God revealed the next chapter of the Lucas story. Join us as we embark once again on another leg in this Marvelous expedition.

CFGM Update

Well, CFGM has reported that the LOA was sent out Tuesday, which is actually Wednesday, so it should arrive on Friday, which is really Saturday so that means Monday.  Did everyone follow that?

I am now in official "Holycr*pI'mgoingtoChinatopickupanotherchildandIhaven'tdoneanythingyet" mode. Do you think he is going to be mad at us when he finds out it is really cold here?  I bought him a really cute little winter hat.  I guess all I need now is everything else! Mama's going shopping this weekend!

Look what my friend Andrea got for us!  I love, love, love them!!  We have has mismatched, hodgepodge christmas stockings forever and now we have a matching set.

 

That's right - they are already up! There is a pretty good chance that we may not be here for Christmas so around here - Christmas is going to start in October.  Merry Christmas everyone!

CFGM alert

My Chinese Fairy-godmother has informed me that our LOA should be coming very soon. Now to fastrack the I800 and we are set.  I spent yesterday on the phone trying to locate Officer Miller - but no one could seem to find her.  They can see her desk....but she is never there.  No one seems to know anything.  Do you think officer Miller may be trapped in the copy room and need help? Did she quit and forgot to tell anyone.  Or - maybe, just maybe, she wanted some quiet time to go over my paperwork without any distractions so she locked herself in the closet with a protien bar, a bottle of water and my precious paperwork.  Oh wait - she doesn't have my paperwork yet - she must be trapped in the copy room.  I will call for help!
