We leave in less than a week to go to Ukraine for our adoption. Our child is so close...WE'RE ON OUR WAY LITTLE ONE!!! We'll take off on Sunday morning from Cincy, stop at JFK and then on to Kiev, Ukraine. I won't officially relax until we're somewhere over the Atlantic. We leave on the 10th and our appointment date with the national adoption center is the 12th.
Life has been stressful as we try to get ready to go. God has blessed us at Journey, however, with the addition of Ryan to our team. We have partnered with another church and Ryan now joins us a worship leader at Journey. He'll lend the leadership to Journey while we're out of the country. The timing on that couldn't have been better.
In the midst of the chaos of getting ready, my friend Carol sent me a note with this quote regarding peace. "It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." (unknown)
Please pray for peace for us. Pray for safe and very speedy travels. Pray for us as we seek out the child God has chosen for us. Pray for the judge...that he would look favorably on us and completely waive the waiting period so we can get home sooner.
We'll update this blog from internet cafes in Kiev as we're able. Peace...
