Today we had the official "Oath Ceremony" with all the other adoptive families we've met here in Guangzhou. It was a very important day...but no pictures were allowed in the room. Bummer. It was very fun to see all the families complete this long journey together. We've all come from different cities for different children but we have so much in common. Love. It's such a blessing to my heart to see the Gospel in action. How similar God's love for us is. When we were completely unaware He sent His Son to Earth, a very foreign land, to save His people. We did nothing to deserve it. We didn't even know it was going to happen or how important it was for us. He paid the price. He made the journey. He did it all. While we were still sinners. We are never as grateful as we should be. Adoption is similar. Not nearly on the same scale but similar in a human way. None of these kiddos know how wonderful their lives are going to be.
Emma just told me that yesterday my pictures didn't post so I'll re-send them. Sorry:)
Tomorrow we're off to do some more shopping with some friends and then we leave for Hong Kong. We wish we were heading home to be with our family but we can't get a flight out so it's Hong Kong. We think we'll have a lot of fun there. I'm thinking DIsney!
Talk to you all tomorrow! Jen
