Well, the one thing I forgot to ask you to pray for was the health of our family...silly me! We now have 2 kids down with a fever and I suppose 2 more will go down by the end of the week. Seems there is a stuffy nose and cough to go along with it.
My friend who is watching the kids while we're in Russia has assured me that she will still watch the kids even if they are sick, but it sure would make it easier to leave them when they are healthy.
Please pray for good health in our family so that the kids are not sick and we are not sick as we travel!
II Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
We traveled to a place that is about 14 degrees (on a good day) so that we could pick up our daughter. Were we crazy? Nope--we just have a heart that is open to following wherever God leads us to adopt.
If you've arrived at our blog because you are adopting from Murmansk, Russia and you want to learn more...you can either start at the beginning of our blog or you can work backwards from when we brought Daughter of Purpose home in May of 2008. We're so glad you're on the road to bringing an orphan into your family. It's at the center of God's heart!
