I am so glad that I am able to catch up here. I am amazed at your willingness to follow God's calling for you to give to these orphans in China. As an adoptive Mom, I am already grateful to you for doing this for other children.<BR/><BR/>You seem like such a giving and kind person and I hope you find a special person to share your life with. It will happen.<BR/><BR/>Kim3 Peanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124969727188599965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781562921943452583.post-52457580110783388452008-10-15T21:45:00.000-05:002008-10-15T21:45:00.000-05:00I do regret that we were out of touch for so many ...I do regret that we were out of touch for so many days and especially the days just prior to your leaving. We have to do a better job of making sure that we are in town around birthdays and important days. <BR/>Jarrett is a wonderful encourager. You can always count on him to do that. <BR/>I love the gifts from Amy. I can't wait to browse through the books.

I understand your fears and frustrations about life, marriage, motherhood, etc. I learned at a very young age that life sometimes doesn't turn out like I had planned and so we have to "Let go and Let God Lead". It is so hard, believe me, I never thought I'd be facing motherhood alone. <BR/><BR/>But, I'll be praying for your trip and I can't wait to read your blog again with all your updates about the trip! Happy Birthday, too!Amy Mazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051190318438580049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781562921943452583.post-78680102676835892852008-10-07T13:56:00.000-05:002008-10-07T13:56:00.000-05:00Jill, you are going to have an amazing trip, God w...Jill, you are going to have an amazing trip, God will use you in so many ways to minister to the people of China and vise versa.

You are more than welcome on the clothes. I'll let Laurie and Leigh know that you were most appreciative. :) Your upcoming journey will be most rewarding to the children, and they will be blessed by your presence in their lives. Danielle hit the nail on the head when she mentioned you having a huge heart. You WILL make a wonderful mom to a very lucky child in time. Stay strong. You have many wonderful friends that love you. Will you possibly have the time for a quick bite on Friday evening so I can give you your BDay present? Let me know what time you'll get back in town.

Do you know how easy it is to say "I wish I could do something?" Yet here you are, DOING IT! I am really proud to call you my friend, Jill. You are an amazing person with a beautiful heart. I don't mean to get all sappy on you. Sorry. But you need to hear it.<BR/><BR/>When you get married and have children, you are going to be such an awesome mom. You have a huge heart. You are giving. You are wise. And you are strong! Maybe it didn't happen when you thought it would, but when it does happen, it will be in God's perfect time, and it will be SO right!<BR/><BR/>You know I'm praying for you, and that I love you. Sorry I missed you today by the way. Give me a call if you have time this week. <BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>Danielle<BR/><BR/>PS - my thank you note is late! I thought it was mailed out and I just found it.

Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." We love you Jill!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490362168406626631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781562921943452583.post-24413278774844981482008-10-05T22:23:00.000-05:002008-10-05T22:23:00.000-05:00Jill, I'm so excited that you will be coming! I k...Jill, I'm so excited that you will be coming! I know how hard it is to willingly walk into (or stay) in a situation that is difficult and outside of our comfort zones. But God is always there, gently prompting us to move forward one more step; reminding us that He is the one who mends our broken hearts; carrying the burden when we can't. I have to tell you, the further I go into this journey, the more I realize what a loving and compassionate Father we have. It is hard, sometimes, not to question his goodness when you see hurt and misery, but I think you'll see once you get here that hope, joy, and love win in the end.<BR/>love,<BR/>C.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034200516625588607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-781562921943452583.post-88697308536751899052008-10-05T21:56:00.000-05:002008-10-05T21:56:00.000-05:00jJill,Thanks for being so open on your blog.
