8 Ain't So Great

The CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) has updated their system with referrals through January 4th, 2006. This again makes only 8 days of referrals this month. Wanna know something interesting? The 2008 Summer Olympics will begin on August 8th, 2008 (8-8-08) with the opening ceremony commencing at 8:08:08 pm CST (China Standard Time) at the Beijing National Stadium in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The number 8 is associated with prosperity and confidence in Chinese culture. So how does 8 measure up in my book? I'm beginning to hate 8.

Hey Jay! As soon as I read this I thought of Romans 8:28... "God causes ALL things work together for good for those who love Him...." Remember, just because you can't SEE what God is doing, be sure He IS doing! Faith...that's what it is...believing what you CANNOT see! Faith...believing...trusting...God is ABSOLUTELY GOOD. HE is your Shepherd, your Rock, your Fortress, your Shield, your Defender, your Provider, your Sustainer, your Peace, your Joy, your Redeemer, your Helper, your Deliverer, your Comforter, your Counselor...no one or nothing else...Jesus alone! AND He causes ALL things to work for good for you! Even the number 8! I love you! Mom
