Another Sleepless Night

We leave for Ukraine on Monday and there is still so much to do.  I want so much to spend alot of time with my kids but, packing and errands are calling my name!   I did not realize the deep ache in my heart would be so great.  Leaving my kids at home with friends (what great friends!) has caused me many sleepless nights like tonight.  I am holding onto God's promise in Mark 10:29-30 "I tell you the truth, no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age...and in the age to come, eternal life."  I know that this is such a spiritual battle, and with God's Spirit holding us and pressing us forward, we will push through and persevere.  Please join us on our journey to bring Maria home.  To Him be the Glory Forever.
