Meet Shannon. She is one of the most precious Christ followers that I know. Their family has been in the adoption process for about 6 years now. They are meeting their sweet Olivia Grace (I call her Blessing) on July 10th in China. I've been praying every day in true belief that God was going to honor her prayer to bring a baby China doll to complete their incredible family. He has heard Shannon's cry and in less than a month she will be in her new home. It has been an honor to walk through this process with them. John 1:12-13 says,"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." God has adopted all of us who choose to receive Him. Thank you Jesus.
