Collins gets her Forever Family!

3 Years ago today when we first laid eyes on her, we could never have dreamed just how much we would love this little girl...
* or the staggering amount of information her little brain has learned after coming to America at age 5
*or the healing that comes  from being the apple of her daddy's eye
*or the boatloads of laughter she has brought into our family
*or how one little person could have this much gumption, tenacity, and athleticism
*or how she would be so curious about everything and talk nonstop :)
*or how sweet the relationship would be between her and her 2 brothers (and future sis-in-law)
*or how adopting a 5 year old is not for the faint of heart, but following Christ is never the easy road but rewarding above and beyond anything eye can see or ear can hear
*or how God would heal so much trauma, anger,  loss and sheer fear in her heart
*or how perfectly her life illustrates that HE GIVES BEAUTY FOR ASHES
*or how profound our gratefulness that HE rescued her from the pit of despair and brought her into a family that loves her more than she can conceive
*or that this whole experience, her life, the changes in our family, and now our life's purpose through Orbie for Orphans....is all because of this one day!
