who would have ever dreamed...

we had a wonderful surprise last night at our encounter service at church. our old friends came to visit. Right after church Ari came back to say hi so I introduced her to Mei and told her that Ari came from china on an airplane to meet her mama and baba like she had. She certainly understood! In less than 5 minutes they were pals. Ari is the first Chinese person Mei has felt comfortable with it was so wonderful to see them playing together. David and I have been talking lately how the long term plans we make are really just ideas because Gods plans will come and we just have to faithfully follow HIS plans. This photo is testament to this, who would have "planned" years ago it would be true? 2 very special girls from the other side of the world would meet each other on Sept of 09 in Bethel church and instantly become friends? God knew all along the Rutzens and the Rills just followed his plans. look at those smiles and you will see what Gods grace looks like. I'm glad you girls came to visit J&A!
