It can also be an awesome time of growth with the Lord. <br /><br />I tell my kids it's like wearing a backpack full of troubles. You can choose to carry the heavy load alone, OR you can take the backpack off and give it to the Lord to carry for you. The hard part being not turning around a few minutes/days later and picking it back up to carry again on your own. The Lord will carry you!!! <br /><br />We pray for you all daily. I also wanted you to know that my family is doing a project on Ukraine for the coming school year, with a project to be completed and shared at a homeschool co-op in December. You are part of the reason we chose Ukraine...our interest in Patrick, your family, and the adoption. So I may pick your brain for some information and still a few pictures off the blog. <br /><br />Hope your having a good day, guess it would be night there now.

I can honestly say that I have grown during this process, but by the current state of affairs that just implies I was rather bad off to start with! :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961319547776272144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197386700960795911.post-15921362558260477632009-07-14T11:32:09.994-07:002009-07-14T11:32:09.994-07:00Hey Lyndi, It's certainly a lot of uncertainty...Hey Lyndi, It's certainly a lot of uncertainty when you're in Ukraine! Praying things come together quickly for you and you can be back in your comfy home soon :) And praising God at the same time that He's doing a new work in your life. We went through much of the same- our experience in Ukraine involved more trust and "handing it over" than we ever dreamed, and He continues to grow us from that experience!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MeredithMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974293935380325338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197386700960795911.post-31253836911366779012009-07-14T10:15:26.886-07:002009-07-14T10:15:26.886-07:00I am so much like this...good reminder post for me...I am so much like this...good reminder post for me!!!!
