Travel Time for China Just around the corner!

Sweet friends and family-
I am beyond excited to tell you that we are cleared and approved for adoption in China! We receive the last approval item yesterday and are now waiting for our exact travel date. From what we were told of our agency yesterday, it looks like our departure date will be March 3rd. I cant believe we are actually so close to bringing this precious baby girl home where she will be loved beyond what she could ever fathom and see how much God loves her. As I was processing the incredible news yesterday, I could not move past how much God loves us so..... He saved us with His amazing and indescribable love. This little girl is going to know the love of two parents and brothers who love her, but more than that, she will know the depth of her Heavenly Father's love......
I have been studying Colossians 3 this week and was moved to uncontrollable tears this morning as I thought about how much God loves us. Do we really fathom how deep the love is that He has for us? I don't think we do. If we did, it would cause us to be on our faces more and give praise constantly for the understanding of what we have been saved from..... WOW!!!! Our churches would be full, our hands would be lifted in pure uncontainable praise and genuine worship. We wouldn't have to say we are Christians, it would be evident and it would be contagious. The world would be so hungry to have the love that we have been so wonderfully blessed with........I cant wait to teach this precious little gift called "Gracie" about this love that is far greater than the love we have for her. I am humbled and grateful for the calling and assignment God has entrusted us with......
Thank you all for your past and continued prayers as we make final arrangements for travel and finally bring her home....We are confident that God is at work to provide the last portions we need to go and are so appreciative to all of you who have blessed us with your precious gifts........ God is AMAZING!  He is all we ever will need and greater than we will fully understand....Love ya'll and am grateful for you.

Blessings,
Ginger
