Once Upon A Prayer

Two Year Gotcha Day - and a VERY exciting announcement!

Two years ago today,
I was handed a terrified and hollow little girl
that we would name Mackenzie Ty. 
We met in a HOT Civil Affairs office in Shanghai, China.

Mackenzie had just been released from the hospital,
and I would soon discover that she had a 104.5 fever.


A few hours later,
in a hotel lobby of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia 
Jacques was handed a petrified and obstinate Lily Grace.

Lily's fight or flight instinct kicked in.
Before Jacques could even figure out what happened,
Lily Grace took off running out of the hotel 
away from Jacques, 
with her nanny tailing closely behind.


These two precious girls have come so far in the past two years.
Our family definitely hit the jackpot!

All because we said, "Yes lord, send us."


On this very special anniversary - 
Mackenzie and Lily would like to share an exciting announcement!




I prayed for this child,
 and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.
1 Samuel 1:27
