Misc. Thoughts

Three days from today Kent, Anna and I will be flying to Beijing, China. Andrew and Caty will be with Grandpa and Grandma Scantlin. Callie will going through her day, like any other. I can not imagine what this change will be like for her. Although we have longed for this day, it will rock her world. Please continue to pray for Callie and us, her parents, that we would lean on the Lord for whatever trauma she may experience.

Kent is the writer in our family. Those of you who know me well know that I do not enjoy writing. I am hoping Kent will help with, and/or take over, while we are in China. I am sure you all will find his writing much more interesting than mine. It is our understanding that each of the three hotels we will be staying in have in-room internet access.

Please pray also for Leah, the little girl that I babysit. I have been watching her since she was three months old. (Leah is 2 days older than Callie.) She will be staying with others while we are gone and for a couple of weeks after we return. I am sure that seeing Miss Sara with another toddler will be a bit of an adjustment. We have been praying that Callie and Leah would become great playmates and that both girls will adjust to their rolls in our lives. Leah is a wonderful little girl and I can not wait for Callie to meet her.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers. We will need them over the next few weeks.
