Thank you for pestering me to continue this blog. It is a great privilege to journal this amazing journey. The last few months have been a blurr- We went to Disney World, celebrated Christmas and moved to Kansas (burr!--It's cold!)
In November Sam penned this little story- which we used as part of our Christmas letter this year.
“Once up time there was a Dragon named Sam. Sam the Dragon did not like mamas and he did not like daddys and he did not like no bode. But one day he herd sumthing. He herd God wisper Sam I love you and evry thing chanjed.” Sam Huey Nov 2007
The part B --or actually the Part A to Sam's dragon story ---we learned from the another family who met Sam in Lithuania. They were at his orphanage to adopt their son, Wyatt. Sam asked this couple to also take him. It broke their hearts to tell Sam that they could not. Sam was furious; he told them that he hated Mamas and Daddys and then, Sam spit at them! Sam's health deteriorated and he actually refused to eat for a while. To see our happy, extroverted, energetic, chatterbox now, you could never imagine that he was such a depressed and angry little guy.
And now the Part C --On our trip "out west" (to Kansas) we stopped in Tennessee and had an amazing reunion with this family and another family who also adopted from the same orphanage. To see how God has worked in these children's lives and in all of our lives through them is truly overwhelming. We watched them laugh and play and we are still in awe at God's work.
We continue to covet your prayers.. Kristin
