A Revelation


The Fountains is a special International Community Center where we can enjoy some western comforts like the coffee house, a movie theater, and English library, and much more.  Steven loves to go there and we have friends there, so we try to go once or twice a month.

Today I was so excited to find out that my friend Stephanie was here, and she had a special visitor with her, Xiao Mei, a 7-year old girl from the orphanage!  Stephanie was able to take her for a special holiday weekend for some fun.  It was in this moment of seeing Shao Mei with Stephanie that I had my moment of inspiration...Maybe I could foster Shao Jun! 

When I spoke with Joy that same day, I was surprised to find out that a short-term volunteer who visited China had been asking about adopting  Shao Jun.  I was selfishly sad to hear this news.  I asked God to take away my burden for her if this was the path that was best for her. 

It was in response to these fervent prayers over the next couple of weeks that God opened the path wide and clear.
