Changes


As I am putting away all of Zhou Duo's things generously given to me by friends and family, my emotions are taking its toll on me.  Joy, sadness, concern, excitement, nervousness, peace, anxiousness...

As Zhou Duo's mom, my focus the first year will be to work on his attachment to both me and Mark and try to reverse the survival skills learned at the orphanage.  Teaching him family skills and to depend on us not on himself.  This means I am not to leave him.

Changes in life are the only thing constant and I embrace it without fear, but these last few days as I say good-bye to all that I come to love, I realize how much I will miss it.

Serving every week as a Nursery Coordinator at my Church...I will miss seeing all the babies and their parents, Church Staff and Volunteer leaders that faithfully serve whom I have come to love.

Working with God of Hope Ministry...the ladies in Lockhart Unit have become my community for almost 2 years.  I learn what true worship looks like by watching the ladies have such hunger for God's Word.  We all grew together in faith as we cry, laugh and encourage each other.  What fun times we had.  I can still hear the buzzing of the doors opening and the clanging as it shuts behind me.

Last night I finished my 6th year of BSF (Bible Study Fellowship international), it has been instrumental in my growth as a Christian.  I will miss small group discussions, Holly's precise pronunciations as she lectures and singing those old Hymns.

I know my New Journey will not be anything I imagine.  Better, because I trust God is leading it.  He always gives me more than I ask.
