Ukraine Bound!!!!!!

(Ok...so I found this entry saved but not posted. Don't know why it didn't post, so here it is a month later. Oh well...I have gone and come back and have lots to tell!)


I am going back to Ukraine!!!!!!!! Get excited with me people because this means the world to me. This will be my third trip there, and God willing, the third of many many more to come. I was not sure if it would happen this year because of everything that has changed over the last several months, but I'm going, and I am soooo very thankful to God for this trip. The children there in the orphanges truly have little pieces of my heart in thiers. The countdown is on, and I'm just waiting on take off!

I will leave on October 22 and return on October 31. I will be just outside of Lughansk, Ukraine, which is about half an hour from the Russian border. Friends, please pray for me and the Servant Life team that will be traveling to serve these children in whatever capacity is needed. Also, please pray for these orphan children that they will be open and receptive to us and the love of Jesus Christ.

It has been so long since my last post that I have much catching up to do. My life has changed in so many ways. There have been a lot of tears both from joy and sadness. All of which I will eventually discuss, but not today. Today, I just wanted to express my sheer joy to you because I am returning to see my Ukrainian family!
