Mei-Li, Here we come!

Hello friends and family!

This is it, the post you've all (and we have) been waiting for...

We got a call late tonight that a day opened up at AIT. We NOW have our interview on August 31(as opposed to September 7th)!!! We will leave either the 24th or the 26th. That's NEXT WEEK, folks! We are so excited...so blessed!

Thank you for all your prayers!

Mei-Li, here we come!

Joyfully expectant,
Mei-Li's Parents
PS--Right before we got the call, God showed me this:

"You're Not in the Driver's Seat
21-22Then Jesus made it clear to his disciples that it was now necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, submit to an ordeal of suffering at the hands of the religious leaders, be killed, and then on the third day be raised up alive. Peter took him in hand, protesting, "Impossible, Master! That can never be!"
23But Jesus didn't swerve. "Peter, get out of my way. Satan, get lost. You have no idea how God works."
24-26Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?
27-28"Don't be in such a hurry to go into business for yourself. Before you know it the Son of Man will arrive with all the splendor of his Father, accompanied by an army of angels. You'll get everything you have coming to you, a personal gift. This isn't pie in the sky by and by. Some of you standing here are going to see it take place, see the Son of Man in kingdom glory." Matthew 16:21-28(The Message)
