Counting Down: Day 5

What a hectic day! I was up and on the road by 6:15AM - so much work to finish before we leave on Saturday. The beginning of the semester is always a crazy time of the semester and facing the reality of being gone for close to 1/2 of the term makes it more chaotic. I know it will all work out.

I had a faculty retreat to attend so I did not have much time to follow-up with other things that really needed my attention. We found out that we needed a document from another county notarized and sent for apostilling. In the middle of my retreat, my phone buzzed and an email came in from our agency. Guess What! I will not have to have medicals in Moscow after all!!! Woo Hoo! What great news! That email came in at the right time - I was just getting ready to call my family physician to get an order for lab work - now I don't have to! Plus, we will save money - those specialist exams are quite costly.


After work, I stopped and shopped for a few outfits for our Angel. So, I have to ask " when did 10 year old little girls begin wearing bikini underwear?" Am I out there too much in that I do not want my child to wear "adult underwear?" What is with Hanes and Fruit of the Loom. Don't our children grow up fast enough? I was so surprised! Needless to say, we do not have any underwear yet for our Angel.

When I got home, Don was smiling like the Cheshire Cat - what, what? I asked. Then he showed me, we received another donation. WOW! How can anyone question that God's faithfulness is unending? We are so blessed by what God has done over the past few weeks. Some would say that stepping out in faith is risky business. We say, we must be willing to step out on faith - even when it doesn't make sense.

We had our travel meeting tonight and we are just about ready to hop on that plane and bring our Angel home. We have a few documents to send out tomorrow and then we are set to go!

PRAISING GOD TODAY FOR: My medical being cancelled in Moscow; receiving another donation to help us complete Trip 2 and bring home our Angel! Angels among us.


Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

Be sure to stop by tomorrow, we will update our fundraising thermometer with the amount of funds received through fundrasing and donations.
God Bless,
Elizabeth
