Brian Posting
As we travel through the mundane things of our day people say so many things. Some grab your attention and others turn into background noise that is quickly forgotten of passed over. One of those statements of verbal white noise hit my ears this weekend. Don't get me wrong , but, sometimes our desires are just verbalizations of what we think should happen and we never expect them to come to pass.
My wife in passing says what we both have been thinking......."I wish I had some new pictures of Jonah." It would be nice to see him. Anything will do. Even though we won't here his voice or see his movements or how he acts, just a few still shots would sure go far right about now. That having been said, with a shrug I went on with my day. My wife on the other hand had a different idea.
Through her tenacious and unquenchable need she went to God and then the web.....With the world population heading toward 7 billion, that's billion with a B, the odds were pretty slanted against finding any new photos or information. Then from the other room I here.......Brian, come and look at this.....
Not only does it have his name....It has his birthday. 1-23-2003. That smile is definitely his. Oh, but that isn't all......Their is much more. The calls from the other room did not end their. Like a small stream, the calls from the other room trickled in.....One after another.....Hey come look at this.......come see this one......
All I can say about the whole thing is that God is soooooo good. Thank you
It is so great to see him interacting with others, His face filled with laughter....Or maybe he's getting a wedgie....Not really sure.
The other really cool thing is that he's wearing a shirt we sent to him 6 or 7 months ago. So, these pictures are not very old. Toni had found these on a blog (not really sure, it was in chinese) of a woman who is part of a volunteer organization called the "corn volunteers". Apparently, they visit the orphanage on a regular basis and she likes to post pictures...... How great is that.
These were just a few of the photos we were able to retrieve. They should hold us for a while. I am just especially pleased that my sweetie didn't give up looking......These photos were a great suprise.
Lot's of smiley pictures of him.......He seems to be a pretty happy go lucky kid.....
We can't wait to see him and hold him.....The days can't pass fast enough.........
