Pausing to remember that a year ago this week, Kate and I became pregnant with our fifth child, who we never met, but will always love. The son and daughter-in-law of a couple in our church just got their referral after a year of waiting. It's only been two months since our dossier was sent to China. I don't know how I can wait a year, but it's not really my decision. It's not really China's decision either. It's God's. I'll wait for Him to answer.

In the meantime, Aaron is falling in love with Romania and will be heartbroken when he has to leave. He told me earlier this afternoon (6:00 p.m. here right now), "Dad, God's as much in Romania as He is in North Carolina!" This is really opening his eyes at a young age. It's wonderful to see.
