I hear a song and see a dance.

china... let's go baby!

I am... going to CHINA!

This has been my dream forever! I have always wanted to go because I absolutely love the children there. I remember reading stories about Gladys Aylward as a little girl and wanting to go and rescue the children.. to hug them and hold them close.

maybe it was how they used to bind the little girls feet that struck me so deeply. if you can't walk from pain how can you dance? i love dancing it's one of my favorite things.

maybe it's because I love all children.

maybe it's because God has simply put my little China babies on my heart to use me to be His hands and feet... or maybe it's because God wants to use them to break my heart and teach me more than i ever have understood about love and how much He loves me.

i still don't understand that and never will. i hope i always learn more about how much God loves me personally so I can share that with everyone...

what if you had no one in your life to give you a hug when something was wrong. to smile at you. if you had no hope...

i cannot wait... my biggest dream coming true and i didn't even have a clue until Friday. God is showing me His deep love for me by letting one of my biggest dreams I have ever had come true... getting to hold His children in China.. i think He let me only have less than a month of anticipation otherwise i would have exploded out of excitement..
