Our bags are packed and we're going to be on the bus at 5:30am to go to the airport. We aren't sure the timeframe once we get there, but this time tomorrow night, we'll have a sleeping baby girl in our room!! (BTW, I am shaking as I write this....!) Here are some specific prayer requests:
1. Safe flight
2. That Ashley has a safe trip to Changsha. She'll be driven there to meet us by the orphanage director.
3. That Ashley would supernaturally know that we are her parents.
4. That we wouldn't have an expectations of how this day will go.
5. That God would wrap us all in protection and we will feel His presence.

God, protect ALL the Flynts on this journey... physically and emotionally. We pray for instant love, connection and understanding. Thank you for the amazing gift of Ashley. Embrace her and give her your uncomprehensible peace. AMEN.
What awesome news! Avery, you cracked us up with your funny face photo!Keep having fun!
Jay & Emily,we are on the edge of our computer chairs, watching God "do the thing". Praying for a spirit-filled union with Baby Ashley. Be it calm and peaceful or loud and chaotic,God WILL BE in the midst of you, as He promised. He has been preparing you for this moment. It will be unforgetable! Can't wait to see the proof. We love you guys!!

Looking forward to checking this sight tomorrow morning. I just know in my heart that Ashley is going to know who you are. We prayed that very thing over Mei and I feel that she really felt at peace with us from the beginning. "Supernaturally".....I LOVE that word.
Lord, As we have waited so long for this sweet moment, may You sprinkle it with your grace and love. I ask that You protect my family while traveling and that Ashley will know peace in her heart. I pray for Avery, that she will be able to show Ashley that these "grown-ups" are her mommy and daddy. Thank you Lord for the walk of faith we have all witnessed. The moment is upon us..may all Glory and Honor be YOURS. Amen
Praying, waiting, knowing we serve a BIG God who hears us and will keep you in His care!
Hey guys. Can't believe the big event is finally here after all this time. Praying for all the things you asked and for her to even love her daddy's bald head:> Can't wait to see pictures of a proud Flynt family tomorrow! Love, Pam
If my math is right (and it is questionable), you all are up probably excited and nervous all at the same time, and will be boarding the bus in just a little bit. I am so excited for you. I pray that God goes before you, and prepares the way. So that, everything goes smoothly and that Ashlei is receptive to you. I can't wait to see what the day holds.
It is 5:35pm, GA time. I would so love to know what you guys are doing right this very moment! It is going to be a great day for your family!
Hey guys, take heart, McDonalds is next to your hotel in Guangzhou! We are so anxious to hear about the moment you received Ashley Mei. That moment for me was a time I felt an unrivaled closeness to God. It gave me a fresh perspective and privilaged look into His heart. It makes you want to go back for a third. Emily, talk to Robin about that for me will ya! We are praying for you and know that the next week and a half will be the longest of your life. As soon as we received Emmie and Ellie we just wanted to get home. We are so happy for you and for Ashley Mei. We pray for safe travel and look forward to getting all the girls together once you are settled in. P.S. Jay, I found a virtual golf course in the basement of one of our hotels. I can't remember which one or which city, all I remember is that I lost as many balls on the virtual course as I did on the real ones.
Love Drew, Robin, Emmie and Ellie
I just looked at your journey and it looks like ya'll are having lots of fun as well. I know ya'll are so excited about getting Ashley tomorrow. I have your family in my prayers can't wait to meet her.
Hey guys I can't wait to see your blog tomorrow morning and see Ashley in your arms. How Amazing is our God!!!!!!
Thinking of you and praying
Praying for you guys. I can not wait to see the pictures of Gotcha Day. Thanks for letting us follow your journey.
Jay, Emily and Avery,
By now you are probably on the plane to Changsha. I'm sure your stomachs are in knots - just remember to take several deep breaths. We are praying for all of you here in NC and we can't wait to hear about this amazing day. Love you guys!
Susan M.
Not too much longer!!!!!
Praying!
I just said a prayer for y'all. I know the excitement is overwhelming. Can't wait to see or hear how it goes. I know Ashley will love y'all right away.
we're praying, guys!!!!
I am so anxious to see the post saying that you have her! I am praying so hard for all of you right now. It seems so surreal that you're actually there and all the waiting is about to be over. God is so faithful! Love you!
Welcome home to your parents arms baby girl..though u are too young to understand the love and prayers that brought u there for now just enjoy all the hugs and kisses. you now have the best families in the world GOD's and yours. To Avery: keep your parents laughing and enjoy your "alone" time w/ Ashley b/c when u get home there wont be much of it. U keep on being the best big sister ever. To Emily and Jay: from an adopted girl herself "thank you!" for giving ashley the hope, dreams, home, family, and love she soooo deserves. Not only is she an answered prayer to ya'll but u are to her as well. She will know and understand that one day. ..LOVE ya'll and we will keep u in our prayers. It sounds like u might want me to have that pizza delivered to ya'll after all huh;)??
Can't wait. BTW, just had to share. Charlie and I just watched Flywheel and I cried and cried!!! I was telling Charlie about you all and how Jay works at Sherwood. The thing that I told Charlie was that a year ago if I had seen that movie, I would have said but that is just not how God works. I mean it is just a movie! But then we went to China and He did work like that! AND HE DOES!!! I loved your prayer request--you are right where HE wants you to be! It is obvious!!! Can't wait for the pics but I have got to get some sleep. I'll be up way too early in the morning and coming here first after my Bible and cofffee of course! ALMOST TIME!!!
At times, irrespective of what safeguards you have, you can end up having that irritating back discomfort. What should you do? You must get off of your toes and lay down flat face up. Also, beverage a lot of fluids, preferably drinking water. This type of water helps launch toxins that hinder the discomfort in your muscle tissue. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Vi7765ity[/url]
Regrettably, it appears that the globe is becoming a lot more superficial. Experiencing very poor style and searching similar to a catastrophe will have a bad effect on your way of life.
