SDA office is open
11/28/2011 21:10
Thanksgiving day was a great day of family and lots of food. The morning was stressful as I received e-mails back and forth from Dima, who was worried about some documents possibly being a problem at the SDA office. A friend of mine told me that our family should be on a reality TV show. I told...

In the blog below, please read about our wonderful visit with Oleg: Such an awesome 'God thing' for God to bring Oleg all the way to Texas and allow us to meet him and hear all about how Luke is doing. God is constantly showing us that He is taking care of Luke while we are waiting...
meeting "Luke's" pastor

I have a little story to tell you that I think is pretty incredible. It's one of those God things, ya know? This past weekend Bill and I got to meet "Luke's" pastor, Oleg. I've been looking forward to this weekend for several weeks-ever since Oleg told me he was going to be coming to Houston....
Paper work DONE!......NOT!

Wow....I really do NOT like paper work. We faxed 47 pages of documents to Maria (the lady helping us with the adoption papers) so that she could check on how things were looking. We did this 2 Saturdays ago and were hoping to have everything completed by now. Everything looked pretty good until...

Do Not Worry
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow...
Love me some Skype
10/13/2011 23:20
I already love Skype because I can talk with my dear friends in Ukraine for free. We can "text" or video chat even though we are a world and 8 hours apart. When I am in Ukraine on mission trips, I can Skype with my family at home (the family members who aren't with me in...
Skype!

I'm super excited that I might get to Skype with our Ukrainian son Friday night (his Saturday morning). That's the plan, anyway. These plans can always change of course, but for now, I'm hoping and praying that we will get to do talk on Friday night.
It's so cute because he just sits and...
The battle is God's

I thank God for friends who have adopted and love to send encouraging words and wise counsel now that they know I am now going through what they have already gone through. They have been there for me to answer questions, give advice and encouragement, and...

Paperwork, paperwork, and did I mention, paperwork
09/19/2011 23:08
I can't believe all that is involved with paperwork, mailing documents in, finding out you need to send more in, and then waiting. After all that, there is still so much to do and every thing is so time consuming. I am not going to get into all of it right now. Orginally, I was going to write all...
