Six months ago, March 12, 2013 in the capital city of John's home province of Shanxi, Dang Sanming become
John Aden Dodge and forever our son.
Every emotion know to man has been experienced by every member of the Dodge Family.
In Russell D Moore's book "ADOPTED FOR LIFE" he says "being part of a family is tough, regardless of the circumstances" and "...every believer is called to recognize Jesus in the face of his little brothers and sisters when he decides to show up in their lives, even if it interrupts everything else". Our lives have be interrupted and it is tough but seeing Jesus in John makes it all worth it.
Each day the Lord continues to refine ALL of us, and in the process we are becoming more like Him and less like the world... some days it is not so pretty and others days it is BEAUTIFUL.
