Thinking of you, Mason

Since we said "yes" to you, Mason, we cannot stop thinking and praying for you. We wish we were in China right now, holding you, caring for you, singing over you, dancing with you. In times like this--times when we just want to jump on the plane and get you, we are gladly reminded that our heavenly Father has his hand on you. The following scripture was brought to my attention this morning. I think it fits:

Zephaniah 3:17

¹⁷ The LORD your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
   he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

It's so reassuring to know that God is taking care of Mason. He's rejoicing over him. He's quieting him with his love. His singing over him. Thank you Father!

As we continue to pray for our dossier papers to be approved in Washington DC, we can trust that God has all the details taken care of. 

Phillipians 4:6-7
⁶ Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
