An update on Eddie.
Below is a portion of an email I got from Alisa, she said I could share it
We just spoke with Jimmie, Eddie is with his Daddy!
Eddie is very happy to be a ______ (their last name).
Jimmie said when they met, Eddie came running to him and hugged him. I also got my first sign of "Mommy I love you" What a gift!!
They told Jimmie that Eddie had been walking around with a smile on his face since they told him about his family!
Once again Satan made his last attempt at trying to keep Eddie from his forever family.....when Jimmie arrived to Tianjin all of the highways were blocked. They had to turn around and drive back to Beijing and catch a train. They made it to Tianjin at 2:30pm. The family guides in China are wonderful they know how to get things done too!
GOD prevailed and....Eddie is now "Eddie Fu Ben ___________"
Thank you all so much for your prayers!!
I was telling a friend today that I couldn't help to think that when Eddie ran into Jimmie's arms that it might have been a small glimpse of what it might be like when we run into Jesus arms one day!! Jimmie and I compare our adoptions to our adoption into the family of God often. I know it is not the same...but we believe God uses these situations to give His believers a little view of what heaven may be like. Doesn't that just get you so excited!!
Alisa ask me to share how God brought them to Eddie. In the spring I advocated for a little boy named Boyd on my blog that was deaf, she saw my blog post and emailed me. I shared with her what I knew about Madison Adoption (the people at Madison are amazing) after much prayer, she and Jimmie contacted Madison about the possibility of adopting Boyd, at that time they found out that a family had come forward to adopt Boyd....PRAISE GOD that Boyd's family found him! Alisa visited with the people at Madison, she and Jimmie viewed their special needs list...that is where they first saw and feel in love with Eddie. And the rest..........begins with God preforming miracles and moving many mountains to bring this family together. What a great way to start a family! God will even use a random family blog to get His job done! I am so thankful that I was given the opportunity to once again witness God's handiwork!
