An Unexpected Blessing....


Wow!!!! Would you all believe that in the last 24 hours we were able to find out about an American couple that is currently at Vanya's camp and was able to set up a skype session for us this morning???? Reflecting on our journey, God has blessed us in so many ways, both big and small. This was a pretty big one! When we had to say goodbye to Vanya just over a week ago, we had no leads and no expectation of being in touch with him until we actually traveled to Ukraine.

It was great to just see him alive and well on the other side of the world. It was even better to be able to tell him how much we love and miss him. He was all smiles and even got to introduce us to one of his best friends! He introduced us as his family!

He expressed his love for us and said he wished we could come and get him sooner than September or October. We, of course, said the same.

We told him that we have his pictures up all over the house and that our family just isn't the same without him here. And somehow all the kids got talking about how Mama hasn't stop crying this whole past week. Oh well.....this kid has got to know how much he is loved!

So, what an amazing provision of God, especially for this Mama's heart!

  2. Wendy, what a wonderful blessing to you! My heart leapt with happiness to hear that. Sergiy is at the same camp, and we are heart-sick over not hearing from him or being able to contact him. Any chance you can put us in touch with the American family if they are still there?
