God is on His Throne

Not the Friday we wanted, but God knows best. We will not have the children with us until Monday, but we have been given an exact time to meet at the orphanage to sign them out that morning. The children are disappointed, but satisfied that we have a countdown time.

Work has begun on the deed issues. Please pray about that for us. This can be costly and time consuming. We are praying for the Lord's protective hand on this situation. We have an appointment Tuesday morning to obtain new birth certificates and then we will be waiting on passports. If things go as it appears we could be in Kiev by the end of next week. We will see how things progress.

Weekend plans include a visit with Andrei in the morning, some shopping in the afternoon, a concert in a different park tomorrow night again by the city orchestra that Pasha's teacher, Sasha, plays with (he invited us today). Sunday morning we hope to attend the church nearby to say our goodbyes to these new friends. Sunday afternoon we plan to go to #4 to visit with the children and say our goodbyes to the other children. That evening we will move to the bigger apartment. We could try to squeeze into this one bedroom with the children, but we also have Natalia with us, so a two bedroom place will be much better for the 7 of us! :o) It should be a full weekend!

For now we will spend a quiet Friday evening. I think we will need the rest for tomorrow. Please pray the Lord will continue to cover us with His wings.Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Carol and Steve
