Hiccup!

Hey Y'all!

FIRST OF ALL.....It's cold out there Chicago (and everyone else!)... Let your heart be warmed by these precious faces! PLEEEEASE look at how cute these kids are!! I can NOT get over how adorable they are nor can I wait to get back to them!









OK, now that all of our hearts are all filled with the Joy and warmth of their smiling faces... here's the update I have for y'all! I'm finally going back to China! Woohoo! HOWEVER... It's not going to be this week as I had planned. Just a little Hiccup! I'm waiting on 1 final document that, sadly is talking terribly long to be processed and should be done next week (fingers crossed and prayers prayed!). Once that document is in my possession, I just have to take it to the Chinese consulate to have it authenticated... and THEN it's wheels up! The new plan is to head back within the next 2 weeks (feel free to be praying all goes well ;] ). I'm still in need of lots of funding, but I'm taking this leap of faith and trusting that God will continue to provide for my needs, just as He has in the past! He's such a good, good Father and provider that I know He will care for my every need.
So, this is good news! Honestly, I can't really contain my excitement! I'm head over heels excited to be going HOME! I've had an absolutely amazing time with my family and friends here in Chicago, but my heart is yearning to be home with the all the Kids, Ayi's, Zai, and of course my SFCV family! I know that God has big plans for me at SFCV in 2016 and I'm so excited to get back and get started!

So, all that cuteness and a few words, just to say.... Stay tuned for more updates of going back to China, the Kids, the happenings at SFCV, new exciting things in our Therapy program and more! AND....if you're interested in becoming a partner in what God's doing in the lives of these precious little ones and in my life, please, please check out the link below!

Sid: "HellooooOO!"

Hi! I'm Sid! Good Morning to all of you in the west and Good Night to all of you on my half of the world! I can't wait to tell you all about this awesome kid named, Sid. Kid named, Sid! haha, it rhymes! LOL :) Sid is awesome you're all going to love him, I just know it! Sid came to SFCV, not that long ago from a city in inner Mongolia (North China) called, Baotou. He has called SFCV home for almost 3 years, and boy are we happy to have him here! He's a ray of sunshine and can bring a smile to anyone's face. I chose to write my first advocacy blog about Sid for two reasons: 1. He's awesome and everyone should know about him and all that he can do, plus he needs a forever family...soon! and 2. On June 1st, Sid will turn 12 years old. That means he only has 2 more years to find a forever family. In China once a child turns 14years old they can no longer be adopted. This is heartbreaking. A lot of kids with special needs that age out of the adoption system

Ni hao from Shepherd's Field Children's Village!!

Ni Hao from Shepherd's Field Children's Village!     It's hard to believe that I have already been here for 1 whole month! Some mornings I wake up and and feel like I'm still dreaming, I'm so blessed to have this life be my reality. I would like to thank each and every person who has loved me, prayed for me and helped to support me. You have no idea how blessed I am by your faithfulness and God's goodness! Thank you! My arrival at Shepherd's Field on October 1st was ideal, I unknowingly came during October Holiday,which is a week long celebration of Chinese Independence, during this holiday all of our children are out of school and there is no work for local or foreign staff. Arriving during Holiday was quite nice, since it allowed me time to adjust and settle into my new home, get over my jet lag, and really reconnect with other staff members. It was especially nice to reconnect with the therapy team that I had work so closely with over the summe

Miracle Child

Howdy! I'm so excited to share this post with you today! Let me start with this question, have you ever witnessed a miracle? Have you? I think a lot of people tend to think that miracles are these MASSIVE events that draw the awe and amazement of many or we think of the miracles that are written about in the Bible. Yes, those big miracles happen, people being raised from death to life, the seas being parted, etc. It's real and it all happened and was AWESOME ! But today for some reason, maybe because we're not looking, we don't tend to see those kinds of miracles. However, everyday  of our lives God is doing miracles. Living here at SFCV, I have the privilege of having a front row seat in watching God perform those miracles on our campus, within our organization and in the lives of our kids. Simeon is an everyday miracle. Simeon arrived at SFCV in 2012, when he was just a few months old. He was born with hydrocephalus and spina bifida. When He was just 3 months old
