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!

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...

Team CMYK!

Cmyk! I'd like to introduce you all to a very special little someone. Meet, Charley Moon Yingmi Kasper or Cmyk (sm-ick) as I like to call her. Charley Moon is one of the adorable bundles-of-joy that I have had the privilege of working with. As most 2 1/2 year old's are, Charley Moon is quite the character; she's a dancer, a comedian, a lover, a keeper of secrets, and an adoptee. Over the last few months I've had the honor to sit in a front seat and watch the final pieces of her adoption fall into place and I have to say that witnessing this miracle has changed my life. Charley Moon and Mommy - July 2013 I first met Charley Moon and her (now) mother, Kayla on my very first trip to China in July of 2013. When I met, Cmyk or "Leah" as she was called back then, she was just about 18months old and weighed no more than 15 pounds. When she arrived at Shepherd's Field in the spring 2012, she was struggling to maintain good nutrition and very underdeve...

It's been Forever....

Hey All! Wow, It's been a while since my last post, but as promised I'm back! It's been a very busy fall thus far for me and I'm just now getting back in the swing of the hustle and bustle of this new season. Can I just tell ya...I LOVE Autumn! The weather cooling down, the breeze starts blowing, the leaves changing and beginning to fall, jeans and hoodie weather.....hmmmm nothing like it! Well...as I promised....a while ago....here's a bit of what's been happening in our program the last few weeks! In Late August, we hosted a two-day therapy seminar for our therapy team, as well as therapy staff from one of our partnering orphanages, Taiyuan; the seminar was taught by our partners at LIH Olivia's Place therapy center. The seminar was entitled, "Positioning, proper feeding techniques, oral care and basic communication development" wherein the staff provided both lectures, discussions and practical sessions. The seminar couldn't have gon...
