Remembering.....

The theme in my life the last 3 weeks has been remembering..... 

Remembering ...who I was before I accepted the Lord as my Savior.
Remembering... the freedom for the forgiveness of my sins.  Not because I what I have done, but because of the the cross. 
Remembering... the pain in my life that I have caused.  And how God has not only healed my pain, but has made it beautiful for Him.
Remembering... how God called us to adoption.  And how my plans changed to His will, for a beautiful older child from China by the name of Guang Dong Fu. 
Remembering... the way that the Lord provided for us financially for the entire adoption. 
Remembering... the miracles in China and now at home in the heart of Dong Fu.

Thanking God that He calls us to remember.......

Praising God, that His timing is perfect.  If any of these things would have been in a different order, the beauty would have been missed.
