About Faith (Scroll down for updated pictures of Faith!)

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see!” -Hebrews 11:1

Here is what we know about Faith so far:

Her Chinese name: Diedie Zhang
“Diedie” means butterfly in Chinese. Our hope and prayer for “Faith Diedie” (as for all of our children) is that she will spread her wings “like a butterfly” and touch the hearts of many by spreading God’s Love!

Her Date of Birth: October 1, 2005
(McKenna & Faith share the same birthday, what a special bond God has already placed with these two sisters!)

Her province: Guizhou

Also:
*She is in foster care! Yahoo!
*Laughs aloud
*Knows her name, & turns when called
* Eats biscuits without help (Born a “Walker”, God Bless her little heart)
*Active (Look-out)
*Restless
*Likes listening to music (Just like mommy)
*Likes playing with toys
*Expresses her refusal in a simple way (Thank you God!)

And for a final note:
* Caretaker says…. “She eat Good” :)


Mommy & Daddy thoughts:
Through this adoption process, in the beginning I worried about my baby’s every move: Is someone feeding her? Is she safe? Is she cold? Is someone showing her love? My mind raced with all the uncertainties, until I heard a song that changed my way of thinking. In Jan. of 06’ Matt & I had the privilege to attend an FCA conference & our worship leader was the Awesome, Joel Engle!
He sang a song entitled “Be A Father to Her”. It soothed my soul & every worry past away, because I knew God was in Control of her every move! My husband & I may not be with her right now, but we take Great Comfort in knowing that God is with her!
 
“Be A Father to Her”
I know that I can’t save her from this life so full of pain
But I would gladly take her place and every tear I would erase
Lord I know you love her with a love so divine
For you sent Your Son to die
So that she could know Your life

Chorus:
As you are a father to me
Be a father to her
As you are a Savior to me
Be a Savior to her
Let Your light shine down on her like Your shinning down on me
Will you be a father to her as You are to me
-Joel Engle
Made for Worship







 

Updated pictures of Faith!




I am very special, I have been from the start.

Before they held me in their arms, my family held me in their hearts.

And like a single drop of rain that on still waters fall,

My life and love will make ripples and touch the lives of all.

So read my precious story as step by step I grow.

I am a blessing and a gift as each page here will show.
