January 1st, 2010

O Lord, thank You for the first day of 2010. You let me hear this song again.

Yes, You are my Lord, I praise Your name all the times. You are a shield around me, O Lord, You bestow glory on me and lift up my head...


Waiting for Travel Approval

We have arranged one bedroom for our son during the time we are waiting for travel approval and Holidays. We know it may take more days for us to get travel approval because our I-800 approval has a small mistake, though it won't affect to issue article 5 told by Guangzhou consulate. We need to fix it. It was actually corrected when we noticed that my fingerprint date was wrong and expired. We immediately informed our Hague case worker and she corrected it and re-sent to National Visa Center, but NVC cabled wrong version to Guangzhou anyway.

My son, your little face cheers me up when I feel down, son, Let's work our journey together.

Our son's bedroom















We left some area undecorated and waiting for our son to put on lots of wall stickers he likes.

We tried to move sofa bed out of this room, but it is too big and stuck at the door and hallway. I bought some fabric and made covers for cushions, it looks perfect to me. I love it and think some day I may need to sleep over the sofa in case my son needs me.

Our Appreciation

A journey to our son will have a new chapter soon. We give thanks to our Lord Jesus for His blessings. Our awesome God works in a marvelous way beyond our imagination. We appreciate our Church Pastor Teo, Pastor Smith, Pastor Calmes and their wives' encouragements and prayers.

We feel thankful for Pastor Fisher and his wife constantly praying for us since many years ago, now God has answered our prayers . We thank our long time friend, a brother in Christ, Jim and his wife for their brotherhood friendships.

Special thanks to our next door neighbor John. John is over 75 years old and lost his wife several years ago. We have taken care each other since we become neighbors. He is so happy for us and always asks us when our child will come to the US. He hope he will live to that day and see my son. Oh Lord, please remember John's kindness and grant his wish with double portion blessings and longer life.

We would like to thank Dr. Kou and Sister Jinyun and many other brothers and sisters in Christ, friends and co-workers for their support in our journey.
