...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.

Mikey - Day 1

Well, we couldn't have asked for a smoother transition.  No matter how much we prayed for this day and asked that that Mikey would have a knowing in his heart that we were Mama and Baba - we still had some anxiety.   However, once again we shown that He is faithful to His word.  Mikey shook hands with us and looked us right in the eyes and said Mama and Baba.  Mark picked him up out of his chair and he was all smiles.  The first thing he asked us was "Where are my sisters?"  Let me tell you - this kid is sharp and boy can he eat!  I think he ate half a chicken at dinner!   He looks small, but he is solid weight.  He probably weighs more than Valerie and Vanessa. 

 

We are getting ready for bed - so let me go ahead and show you what you are waiting to see.   I am very proud to introduce to all of you David Michael Lucas - AKA MIKEY.

Congratulations!!! I'm so glad to see those smiles on all your faces!

We've been praying for you. It's amazing how God can work in hearts. It seems like Mikey was prepared for the changes and looks like he's doing well with them, also.

Can't wait to read more about your trip and see more pictures!
