beloved: One Year Ago

A year ago today,

we had no idea the blessings in store for our family.
We had just started to talk about the possibility of adding to our family.

We had given God the 'green light' {Like He needs one!} and we were ready to go. Wherever, Whenever, Whoever, and However He saw fit.
We prayed and prayed for days on end that God would direct us to the perfect child. If that was His will. If not, we would wait.
A year ago today,

a little girl was in China waiting for Hope, a family, and the chance of a future.

Little did she know, God had a plan

Little did WE know, God had a plan

Through circumstances that surpass our wildest dreams and imagination, God placed this special little girl with our family.

We are coming up on a year since we saw Ainsley's face for the first time and fell so helplessly in love and we cannot help but fall on our knees and praise the ONE who so perfectly orchestrated our miracle girl.

We could not be more thankful to call her ours!

Ainsley has been in our arms for almost 5 months now and here are a few before and afters.
SEE what a family can do? What LOVE and care can do? Our girl is living proof that miracles happen, because she is one.
