What We'd Say To You, Mason

No, we don't have any updates......still waiting for our LOA (letter of acceptance) from China. We can't really do much until that comes in. Once we get that document, we will have a better idea of when we may travel. We are guessing maybe Feb or March 2012??? What we do know is that Mason will soon be turning 2 years old. Nov 27 is his given birthdate. We are sad that we can't celebrate face-to-face, but we will be celebrating here! We'll be dreaming about those birthdays to come.
Until then we continue to pray for our Mason. Daily we thank God for providing for his needs through the orphanage staff. We pray that his physical and emotional needs are getting met. We pray that he would somehow, someway be getting 1:1 attention and love from the workers. We pray that he would have peace that surpasses all understanding.
This song plays on the radio a lot. It makes me think of the boys each time I listen to it. Although we can't tell Mason what we are thinking right now, we can pray for him. We can dream about all the things we WILL be telling him one day...

Sidewalk Prophets - The Words I Would Say 

Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake,
So I picked up a pen and a page,
And I started writing,
Just what I'd say,
If we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
I'd tell you these simple truths.

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way,
These are the words I would say..............
