Hard News to Digest

We were informed this morning that due to a series of events that we cannot control nor fully understand, little Xiao Yun will not be our daughter after all. Please pray for us and with us. We are having a very hard time processing and accepting this, but are trying to trust the Lord for His plans and His will.

We are weeping with you! Hold fast to what you know of GOD...He has a plan, He is in control, and He loves each and every one of us deeply!! Casting Crowns has a song that when we lost Andrew helped to keep our eyes focused "Praise you in the Storm" it is NOT easy and I did not want to Praise Him but through many a tears I could begin to say "I'll praise you in this storm" Many hugs and prayers for you all!! God has a plan for Xiao Yun and for you and Aiden!!

Dumbfounded...that's what I'm feeling.

And now I'll pick myself up and press in praying for you all again. There's a reason why your picture is still posted by my kitchen sink!

My dear friend,

Your life is indescribably beautiful. You’ve ceaselessly provided shelter and nurture to countless lives who have sought you out when they’ve felt scorched. You’ve loved and lavished all in your path, in true Matt 25:40-style.

Even as a young girl, you dared to dream with Him.
All these years, you’ve hoped and held on and waited.
You've made many personal sacrifices so that your home can be a resting place for His glory to dwell and His kingdom to come.

Just as Yahweh IS, His promises ARE.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel sure He’s SHOUTING over you in heaven, “With this daughter, I am WELL pleased!”

Oh my.

I totally agree with every last thing that the Literary Gormet said.

We are standing with you.

Love comes your way during this time, and always. Hold fast to your dream.

The words...they're just no coming. I am so sorry! This was not the news that any of us expected this week. I'm just so sorry, T.
Please know that I am lifting you and your family and Aiden up in prayer. My momma heart breaks with your momma heart but I already know that God's plan will unfold soon. As it does, I pray that you find the answers and understanding that you have been seeking, and a peace that God knew all along that XY was not Aiden. I pray it all makes sense to you someday very soon. He sees what we do not!
Love you and praying for you all,
Kateri
