New Name

I renamed the blog....for two reasons. First, obviously...we have chosen a name for our sweet girl and I wanted the blog to reflect that. Second, because of something I learned today that I wanted to be a part of this blog as well.

I was browsing, as usual, on New Day's blog and noticed, not for the first time, that at the end of each post there is a picture of a red thread. I couldn't stand it anymore, I knew it had to mean something and I wanted to know what, so I emailed Carrie who answered back very speedily. Here is what I found out...

"The red cord is an allusion to the following red thread legend:
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle,
but it will never break."
- an ancient Chinese legend"

I thought this might be unique to New Day, thus the e-mail to Carrie. If I'd know its enormity I would have realized a Google search would have satisfied my wondering mind. As it turns out, after some research into it, I found that the Chinese Legend does refer to the red thread, however, it is really about soul mates meeting. The reference was connected to China and adoption by a waiting momma who was inspired by the legend and what it meant not only to man and woman, but people in general. Very appropriate, I think!!!

So, to all who are committed to following our journey to Hadlee, know that we are so thankful for the part you will play in our "Red Thread." We covet your prayers and value your friendship.
