You don't bless me so that I can close my eyes and fold my hands and be content with what I have
You don't fill me so that I can live a life that's full and free for only me.

Once our eyes are opened we can’t pretend we don’t know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act.
About Me
I am Cheryl, beloved daughter of my Heavenly Father, and wife to my best friend Dave. Together we are raising our four children, a family forever changed by adoption. Following the path that God started us on over 18 years ago and firmly planted our feet upon through the missions work Brady and Mikelle embarked on in their late teens. Life changed by Sasha who has blessed us beyond measure and Zoe who will soon be in our arms. Advocates for orphans and passionate about children who suffer in the world, we now seek God for what mission He will take us on next.

Photo observations:
I love the look that Zoe gives Dave. You can see that he will continue to have a beautiful bond with his little girls in the same wonderful way he has with Mikelle. When I see Zoe's smile it just melts me. I can't wait to play with her and get those sweet little hugs. Zoe and Sasha already have the makings of the typical sister relationship - best of friends and worst of enemies - just don't ever try to get between them.
And finally, my last observation... why is it you always look fabulous, even in a traditional Chinese dress?
May God hold you in His hands as you travel.

I have kept up with your blog EVERY DAY since you left, and all I can say is, it is clear how God works his miracles everyday. With every picture that Zoe was smiling it was just God's Love just shining thru. I hope you and your family a SUPER SAFE trip home and thank you for all that you have shared on your blog.
God Bless

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you are back and with the family already, it has gone by so fast. I love reading the stories and moments you share with the girls :) I think you should keep blogging when you get the chance, it really is moving and gives others more perspective. I am continually praying for smooth adjusting and peace for you and the rest of the family!
I love you :) :)
Glad you made it home - my parents told me they saw Dave at church. Please post and tell us how you are all doing.
Praying for all of you!
