I immediately recognized your name having sung You Are My King many, many times, including yesterday at our church. I enjoyed your posts.

It is there and it is real, but daily life moves on inspite of our different languages. Keziah plays and imagines in Chinese, we've added some Chinglish to our home, and she learns new words everyday. <BR/><BR/>One key that I discovered is that she loves music as much as the rest of our family. So I loaded up my car with some of my collection of kids' Christian music CDs for all the driving we do as taxi service for her older brothers and sister. She can now sing "The B-I-B-L-E" though she has no idea what the words mean.<BR/><BR/>I picked up one of the Intergrity Music CDs at a stoplight and was reading through the song list. Weird, I know. Who really reads to see who wrote each song? I think my jaw dropped when I looked and saw Billy Foote's name listed! Inside I think I was scream, "I know him! I know his family! They adopted Libby! Oh my!"<BR/><BR/>So maybe I don't really know you. I've never met you face to face. But your family's story has impacted our life and now Billy's music is reaching our little girl from China with the message of the love of Christ who longs to be her Savior and King.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your music and your ministry,<BR/>Lara Wade<BR/>(our website - www.onemorewade.com)Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619645360409712761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348441722605935885.post-31489185173033296972009-02-10T20:31:00.000-06:002009-02-10T20:31:00.000-06:00Man I love that little girl.

Libby reminds me so much of Ava Love at that age...reading the same bible stories over and over...making up words like "cuppawee" and all the dramatics you mentioned in the first paragraph! Three years old was a challenge like I've never experienced in my life, but you're right..."His mercies are new every morning". One book that has helped me with Lovey is called, "Don't Make Me Count To Three" by Ginger Plowman. It gives one scripture to use to discipline and train our children's hearts toward righteousness. As I practice this, I see how it can become like breathing. All scripture is useful for correction, so this perspective has been wonderfully helpful! Love you girl! Oh, and I read LuLu's site too. I absolutely cannot wait until you get her pic. Praying for her...and for you guys!Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230134761601185646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348441722605935885.post-70041905776278176742009-02-09T15:01:00.000-06:002009-02-09T15:01:00.000-06:00Re: #8 (Making up names for things).

I understand where the airplane part comes from, but the rest? We've even asked him fairly recently what they're called and why he called them that and he said "Because that's what they are!" I guess that's as good of an explanation as any...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
