On Monday, it will be 6 months since I first saw you walk through that door in the Civil Affairs Office in Guangzhou, China. I will never forget that look on your face. I didn't know that look then, but I do now. You didn't seem frightened or anxious to me then, but knowing you now as your mother, I know you were definitely scared and hesitant. You were and are so very brave and I am so proud of you. You called us "Mama" and "Baba" right away and never looked back. You are an amazing little girl! I love you so much!
On Monday, we will take you to have your little heart repaired, 6 months to the day from when you literally walked into our lives. Doctors will repair that little physical hole in your heart, while these last 6 months, God has been molding and shaping your spiritual heart to walk with Him. It makes me smile every time you see a heart shape, you say, "Heart, heart, give my heart to Jesus." It also makes my own heart swell when I hear you sing "Jesus Loves Me." I pray daily that God will give me the strength and wisdom to bring all four of my children up to love their God with all of their hearts!
I don't know all the reasons why you came to be our daughter, but I am so grateful that God placed you in our arms. I feel very blessed to be your mother. I will always be here for you, whenever you need me.
I love you,
Mommy

You all are a blessing, not only by raising Rebecca to know and love God, but also in the example of family of faith that you are to us. And in turn you have been blessed with four sweet, beautiful children!
