From Wait to Hope to Home!

"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.'" Lamentations 3:22 (NIV)

Arrival






Home at Last! Siempre quiero estar contigo, Rosalinda! That is, "We will love you always, Rosalinda." I guess you can imagine that we all were so relieved when we finally stepped off the plane in Houston into the grand ole U.S. of A!!!! We had a good flight back and went smoothly through immigration. What a surprise we had when we landed in Chattanooga! (see photo) Thank you to all who met us at the airport to share the joy and anticipation of Rosalinda's arrival. You really cannot imagine what it has meant to have your support now and during the past two years or so with this adoption process. God has used your prayers to unhold our arms that now reach to hold our little girl. We made it! Rosalinda Strawn came home on October 25, 2007! God's amazing grace brought this precious child into our lives, and we have been amazed ever since! "...but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive." Gen. 50:20.
