Exciting times !

What an exciting week !


God has sure been moving this week ! Our paper work arrived this week to Ukraine and our adoption agent is submitting it to the SDA tomorrow ! This will mean, we should be hearing in the next 2-3 weeks when we will be traveling.  My Mom and Eric received news this week that they are to be in Ukraine on December 8th. Lori and Russ should be getting their appointment very soon as well ! I encourage anyone that knows my Mom or Eric to ask them how God has worked in their lives through this whole adoption process.  God has continually paved the way for them to make this all possible in an almighty and powerful way, it is such an encouragement to know that if you follow God, regardless of how the out come might seem at the time, he WILL provide and honor your decision to follow his will.   This experience from the start until now has just opened my eyes to so many things, and this is just the beginning of great things to come !  I have learned that happiness is not something that can be bought or self induced, it is something that only can come from God's grace and God's presence in your life.  A year ago, I never would have known how happy my heart could have become being called, "Sister" ( or See-ster, as Ana and Dema say ) or when I was being called "Mama" from two new voices, those are the things in life that make the most sense to me know and a few of the very things I look forward to and Love being called !!!
