I was standing in line at Target today, getting some last minute items for the trip. I told the checker “Im going to China tomorrow” and suddenly, it hit me….IM GOING TO CHINA TOMORROW!!!!!
He didnt seem to care one way or another so I said, “No! You dont understand! Im going to China TOMORROW!!!!! We have been waiting for this moment for almost a year! And Im going TOMORROW!!”
He’s like, “thats nice maam…would you like to apply for a Target card?”
I left Target today with the realization of God’s faithfulness, and in awe of the way He is sending us halfway across the world, to bring an orphan into a family. Qian Li Hao. Jonathan heard her name months and months ago before we ever knew of her. But God knew her, and He went through extraordinary measures to make sure that our lives would come together, and that she would be a part of our family.
Thank God for His indescribable gift! Please follow our journey to China, as we post on our blog each day. We love you, and thank you for your kindness and support to our family.
Love,
The Phillips
