"The desert will rejoice and bloom like a Wildflower"
Isaiah 35:1

a gift unimaginable…something only GOD COULD DO!!

Do you see this precious person
….this lover of Jesus….

this lover of the orphan….

this lover of our daughter, Gianna….

This dear friend and sister in Christ used to volunteer at our daughter’s Foster home and God in HIS miraculous power and miracles, in an incredible way allowed our lives to intersect and crash together in the most beautiful way imaginable……

and I am SO GRATEFUL!!!

I am in awe of the gift of this dear person being a part of our lives now…

 and for the way (along with the whole HARMONY FAMILY) she  loved on our girl, rocked her, fed her, cuddled her  and prayed for her and for us, before she ever even knew of us….

WOW….our GOD IS SO AMAZING!!!

Want to hear something even MORE AMAZING!! We had the honor and privilege of spending the whole day with her….and hugging her in person and loving on her as she has done for our daughter….

what an honor to meet this special woman of God….
here we are picking her up from the airport…were all kinda in shock and pinching ourselves!!!! PRAYERS COME TRUE!!

and look how she blessed us!!

…though her presence was gift enough….she came with lots of treats for the kiddies and real CHINESE treats which were so special and fun!

And Tolly kept asking her how to say different phrases in “Chinese” …it was way cute!!

Oh my heart!!! She  blessed me with this most special gift:

 the sweater that she often cuddled our very own Gianna with in China!
 It even smells like our Gia!

 Tears! Tears!

She gave it to me as a gift, can there be a more special thing that you can do for a waiting momma?? No….I don’t think so!

dear sister, oh how you bless me!!!

It’s our new woobie and we are never washing it!!!!



Thank you dear friend….this is a priceless treasure….

I tell you what…this girl is an angel on earth, a mighty tool in the Lord’s hands! She will be hand carrying a care package all the way to CHINA to our Gianna….gifts for her birthday!!

It was a VERY fun evening! We got to do a Starbucks date with just the girls, then we came home and had a HUGE meal, and played a MEAN game of Apples to Apples.

Then we stayed up most the night looking at pics of our baby girl…..YES, a gift unimaginable!!!

I can never re-pay her for such love and kindness….

We had this special necklace custom made especially for her so that she can be reminded of the difference she makes in the orphan’s life…one PRECIOUS life at a time!

and the difference her LOVE has made in our Gianna’s life, a great tool in God’s hands!

WOW…how the LORD uses this incredible woman and warrior of God!

IT WAS SO HARD to let her go the next morning….but, you can’t keep a warrior down.

 God has many more journeys and missions to take this dear sister on. We are so grateful that HE would allow our paths to cross in such a powerful way, for the privilege to meet her, to hug her, to hear her stories of faith, to shower her with love…..and to share a common fierce love for our Gianna Lilyfaith…
and to have her a part of our family forever!

and…then this crazy snowstorm happened out of nowhere and we DID almost get to hang on to our dear sister a bit longer, but Brian got her to the airport just in the nick of time…..EARLY EARLY in the morning….

and the goodbyes were SO SO HARD!!!!
everyone awoke at 5am to hug her

 Every time we hug her, it’s as if we are hugging our Gianna also..
..I feel her love for our daughter deeply ….and her love for us…

yeah….it was definitely hard to let her go…..I KINDA CRIED LIKE A BABY!!! 🙁

and there she goes braving the storm!!!!
Off onto her next leg of the journey 
….with an inner light that outshines the moon!!!
 …with a passion that can set the world on fire!
…and a joy and selfless love that can only come from the Father above! 
GOSH WE ADORE HER!!!!!
and this was what we looked like the whole  next day…..

yeah, Ashy…I feel your pain! 
You are so loved our dear precious sister, SO LOVED and SO MISSED!!!
AND DEARLY PRAYED OVER every day! 
May God continue to use you in mighty ways to further HIS KINGDOM and (through your loving hands) continue to show HIS love!
WE LOVE YOU to the MOON and back!!!!!

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
(psalm 96:3)
