I'll get to the point: My B-Ma (birth Mother) has offered to pay for me, my Hubband and baby-girl's flight to Hong Kong to meet her, and the rest of the bio-whanau. WHAT?!
Yes, that is right. She wants us to come over THIS February, to ring in the Chinese New Year with them.
I am in S.H.O.C.K...
My "cousin" FB me, as she is our interpreter and told me the good news tonight. I was speechless. I am speechless. I told her I couldn't possibly take it, it's too much! She said, when compared to 31 years apart, it ain't that much... Well, when you put it that way then, yes.
...I may have had some dust in my eye at one point. Yeah, dust...
I still can't believe we are going. I haven't been to Hong Kong since I left when I was two. I am so overwhelmed at the thought of meeting the woman who gave birth to me. To meet my maternal grandmother (who is quite sick, that's also the other reason my B-Ma couldn't wait any longer), to meet my "half-siblings" and their children. To meet my lovely "cousin" who has helped me so much these past few months with translating and keeping me up to date, as well as giving me some family history.
I really don't know what I will say? I don't know how I will react? I hope I don't crack a lame SamaJoke... haha! Or at least hope it will be lost in translation...
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your path straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
The path has seemed mighty curly to me over these past 6 months but I know that God has had it. Even with the lack of funds, me not working, and the T.V show not working out, it's been hard to see through the negatives. But I am so thankful that God works in mysterious ways because I could not in my wildest dreams have guessed my B-Ma would offer this amazingly generous opportunity. Far out...
I don't have much else to say right now apart from:
Thank you God! You The Man!!!
... Gotta get my passports renewed. Ahhhh! We are going to Hong Kong!!! I am going to meet my Birth Mother in a month!!! Ahhhh!
(Now, just praying for one more ticket...)
