Wishing Joy a very happy birthday

Today Joy turned 9 years old. While we were not together to celebrate as a family, we have had constant thoughts of Joy. Holding to the truth that this is her last birthday spent without the family being together. God has the perfect moment planned when Joy will become our daughter and He saw fit that for his reasons that she still needed to be in China today. As much as I wish her to be home, I rest content in God's Sovereignty. There are times we must let go of our children and turn them over to the Lord, this wait is teaching me to do just that with Joy already, to release her to the her Saviour, knowing he has the best plan for her. She is my gift from him.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
