Eleven years ago today a child was born to a woman half way around the world. Eleven years ago today the decision was finalized to give this baby life, in a country were human life is not always viewed as precious.  For these eleven years I have prayed for the woman I will never know, this side of heaven. For eleven years I have prayed for her salvation so that I  may have the chance to thank her for the precious gift she carried for 9 months, the gift I now call my own.  Eleven years ago today God put into action a wonderful plan for our family as our first born daughter took her first breath in the land of the rising sun. I am sure as people awoke that Christmas Eve morning they had no idea the part they would play in helping to bring God's plan to a conclusion. Bless them, Lord. From the postal carrier delivering paperwork to the notaries who notarized that paper work, to the nameless woman in China remembering the baby she gave life to eleven years ago today, bless them this day, the day of our daughter's birth.  Happy birthday Fu, Rongping, we love you with all our hearts.
