Life Beyond the Walls of an Orphanage.

We are experiencing so,
sooo
many firsts with our two Asian sensations.
If we stayed home and watched TV all day they would be perfectly happy.
Because, as they have shared with us, that was their "life" for the past few years.
Wake up. School. TV. Bed.
Wake up. School. TV. Bed.
Wake up. School. TV. Bed.
For
7
long
years.

Real life has been a life change for them fo sure.
Yes it's much harder to pack everyone up and go.
Yes they are somewhat unpredictable as to how they will react to new environments.
Yes our life is much more complex than it used to be.
But YES God is at work in their lives and watching them explore the world beyond the walls of instituion living is an experience like no other.

Zoo experience last week.
Yet another first.








Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Isaiah 12:5

  2. I think it is awesome, although I am sure in some ways tough, that you get to experience so many "firsts" with your A.S.! (love that)
