Happy Birthday Mia!

Three years ago today in a beautiful city across the world in Nanning, China a little girl was born! Her birth momma tried as hard as she could to care for her for nine short months.  She knew the baby needed medical care that was almost impossible in China. She did the best thing she could have done for her and left her in a place where she would be found quickly with a note that had the baby's birthday on it.

Three years ago right now the Lord started stirring up something in my heart that I didn't even know was there. First, he broke my heart for the orphan. As much as I love kids this wasn't very hard to do. But THEN he took me from, "I don't want any more kids, four is plenty" to "Someone is missing in this house, in this family and we have to find her NOW". He also made sure my husband would be on board the very first time I brought up adoption because He knew I couldn't handle it if he wasn't.

Is that not amazing? Little did I know that when she was born, He started working on me to prepare for her.

Happy Birthday to you, Mia Faith! I love you forever!
