My daughter's wish...

Anya loves to "Blog-surf" with me. She especially likes it when a Blog has music, and has been beggin me to do that to ours. How can I say no to a small wish of a very special seven-year old?? So - here you go... I found a beautiful song by Steven Curtis Chapman.
Here are the Lyrics:

His Strength Is Perfect

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength,
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me;
No great success to show, No glory on my own,
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know . . .

CHORUS
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone;
He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on.
Raised in His power, the weak become strong;
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect.

We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes;
His strength in us begins
Where ours comes to an end.
He hears our humble cry and proves again . . .

(chorus)


Not only do I know that BoBo's adoption is a huge leap of faith (that sometimes just scares me to death), and that without God's strength we will fail miserably, but I also know that I have several people in my life who need an extra portion of this strength right now. I would like to dedicate this song to them. I love you all!

(If the music slows down your computer too much, you can stop in the lower left corner of the Blog)

Mike, Barb, and Family,

My daughter, Lia (formerly Lou Fu Qia) was adopted from Loudi in 10/05. She turned two in December, so it is likely that she and BoBo crossed paths in the orphanage before the foster program was developed.

I just checked out your blog and love the story of your family. And to your lovely daughter, I love the music on your blog!

Bobo is so precious and I know how anxious you must be to go bring her home. My prayers are with you ALL while you wait.

Please let me know if I can be of any help in providing information about Loudi, Hunan, or the process. It was over a year ago that we brought Lia home, but it feels like yesterday!

Blessings,

Melissa from Maryland
