Wow! We are extremely busy, but, oh so joyful. I realized last night that we have 6 days before we leave. In 6 days, we will embark on an adventure that will begin to grow our family more into what God has planned for us. I can't wait for this!
We have been shopping, cleaning, making lists, packing (well, I have plans to), organizing, making more lists, making arrangements for our 2 dogs (big thanks to Uncle Aaron and Aunt Sharron), calling family, figuring out how to care for our home while we are away (huge thanks to our friends), planning for school lessons while we are there, and praying.
We know of a number of families in Blogland that are going to be in Kiev around the same time as we are. Hoping to get to meet them. We have been invited to go to church with a friend who lives in Kiev on Sunday. They are actually going to have someone preaching who is from Mississippi and is in the process of adopting. Sounds great!
We are looking forward to this extended stay in Ukraine. At times it is sure to be long, lonely, isolating, and challenging. But, we pray that people will see Christ through our family and that they will see the hope we have and wonder why. We hope God will open doors of opportunity for us while we are there- opportunities to help, to love, to encourage, whatever He calls us to. We pray we will be sensitive to His voice.

I know God will open doors for you while you're there. Guess it's time to get packing! :-)
