Gotcha Day - May 26, 2011!!

We got her, and she's got us!!  The tears just won't stop!!  Another sacred trust and transaction took place today at 3 p.m.  Daddy, "she's in safety now."

"For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few." Ecclesiastes 5:2b (Amplified)

My words are few, because there are not enough words to offer enough praise and thanksgiving to my "Abba, Father!"  This is ALL ABOUT HIM, and not about this feeble, sinful flesh!!  He has done "exceedingly above anything we could ever imagine, hope or dream."

HE KNOWS HER NAME, "Lydia Xiao Ru Underwood," and we present her to you in honor of THE KING!!

Sisters Forever!








"Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom!!!!" Psalm 145:3 (NIV)
