Whoa - we are leaving the country tomorrow!


Hey everyone!  It’s Jen!  I woke up this morning and this crazy realization came over me: “Whoa- we are leaving the country tomorrow!”  It’s the day before we leave and it’s finally hitting me that we are leaving for Ukraine!  I am excited to go back.   I always love it.  There is something so special about being able to be a part of disadvantaged children’s lives.  ‘Who is going to take care of these orphaned kids?  Who will love them and tell them they are special? And most importantly, who will tell them about the greatest Father of all?’  That was basically what I came home with after the first time I visited Ukraine.  I wanted to go back, and I was pretty sure we would.  Now we are finally going to Ukraine for a nearly a year- a trip we've thought about since our return from Ukraine last summer.  I’m excited and I’m looking forward to seeing our little Ukrainian friends yet again, as well as seeing what God will do during this time.
