One week from right now, Ainsley will no longer be an orphan. Ainsley will no longer go to bed alone. Ainsley will have a family.

One week from right now, our family will be complete. Our missing piece will be filled. No longer a void or want. Ainsley will be here.

I am so completely thrilled.

So, in ONE WEEK exactly. We will be leaving for...CHINA. We are so incredibly thrilled.
God. Is. Good.
Ainsley Day is December 18 and you know what that means?! WE WILL HAVE OUR GIRL FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

We are so excited. In a whirlwind. We booked our tickets today and we cannot contain the excitement.
More to come later. We are on our knees in thanks to Him.
I cannot believe that in 10 days, Ainsley Faith Ting will be forever in our arms!
 please continue to keep us in your prayers as we prepare to travel and on Wednesday of next week as we travel.

GOD IS GOOD.

Prayers, please

I would like to update you all and just give you some information.
We are in need of a miracle. As you all know we are still waiting for our TA as you also know we NEED to leave for China on 12-15-11.
If we do not get our TA tomorrow 12-5-11 we will not be going to China on 12-15-11 which is what we so desperately need. I am coming to you all asking for prayers on our behalf. Prayers that He will move mountains (which he CAN) and make possible for us to be in China 12-15-11
We KNOW God can and we KNOW that His timing is absolutely perfect. Please pray with and for us. I will update you all tomorrow.
Thanks for the prayers
Ashton
