Contact finally :)

We have been havin trouble getting through but it looks like we have success! We have been in China a day and a half. Flew into Shanghai and spent one night. We took a united flight because it was the only one that worked with out schedule an budget. It wasn't bad at all, no delays or issues. Nothing fancy or frills but we got here. Hit some turbulence that was kinda rough and ended up with coke all over us :) but we arrived safely and slept a lot on the plane. We then took a van to Hangzhou, we are now in the same city as our little man!!! We are messed up with our time and keep waking in the middle of the night. It is 3am and I am blogging instead of sleeping :). We are going out today to do a little shopping to get a few things we need for Elijah. He will be in our arms tomorrow!!!! TOMORROW!!!!! Ahhhh so excited. We don't know if we get to visit the orphanage, we will meet our guide for the first time later today and find out. I will blog again later.

Love to you all!
And Thank you God for bringing us here, and for safe travels!
Keep praying us through this journey.

Going to try and sleep more now :) ... me

Orphan Scriptures

Deuteronomy 10:18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing amoung you, giving them food and clothing.
Deuteronomy 24:19-22 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the alien, the fatherless and the widow. When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the alien, the fatherless and the widow. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.
Deuteronomy 26:12 & 13 When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied. Then say to the LORD your God: "I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow, according to all you commanded. I have not turned aside from your commands nor have I forgotten any of them.
Deuteronomy 27:19 Cursed is the man who withholds justice from the alien, the fatherless or the widow." Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
Ephesians 1:4-6 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Isaiah 1:17 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. [fn] Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphan and widow in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Jeremiah 22:3 This is what the LORD says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of his oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you
Psalm 10:14 But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
Psalm 10:17&18 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.
Psalm 146:9 The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
Psalm 68: 5&6 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
Psalm 82:3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Zechariah 7:10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.'

Love is
