26 days, 23 hours, 30 min., and 45 secs till we leave on our trip to the Ukraine. There are long time missionary's there we will be staying with. It's very exciting...yet very scary! We have been told that the Ukraine is a country of complete lawlessness. We have done a lot of reserch on the country and trying to learn the laungue through Rosetta Stone. My mouth is having trouble pronoucing some of those words, lol. How do I feel...I don't know exactly...if this is were the Lord leads my husband to be...then I will follow.
I have been so oppressed lately....the battles in my heart and mind....the pressures of life in general...it all seems almost overwhelming at times....I wish sometimes I could speak my heart completely...but the Lord knows my heart and hears the crys of my heart for grace and mercy! In my distress I called up the Lord, and cryed unto my God, he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Psalm 18:6.
In the next couple of weeks...this is what I have to get done....preparing for our trip to the Ukraine...prepare crafts for our VBS for when we get back....prepare a skit and finish the program for our Mother/Daughter banquet next week...get all our laundry caught up (and with 7 people in the house...it's almost impossible)....finish homeschool for the year...and take our CAT test.... get the kids packed and ready to stay with some friends....am I forgetting anything?????
And on top of all this...I have caught and bug and have been sick since Friday....ughhhhh.....off to run some errands...

New Blog Title
So many things has happened over the last several months. My husband has now surrendered to go to the mission field, not completely sure were God wants him now....but has a pretty good idea. So now, this blog is called "Chronicles of a Missionary's Wife" or at least soon to be :) We are taking a mission trip in June, and we are both so excited!!!! But who would ever think with something so exciting around the corner, that the devil would fight so hard. I was telling the ladies in our prayer room at church, it seems like the more doors God opens for my husband, the more I battle and fight. The sorry low down devil is attacking the weaker vessel, just like he did with Eve. He goes straight for the weakest point, and then starts shooting those fiery darts right at me. I am so thankful for a group of ladies at my church that I know pray for me and hold me up in prayer, and a sweet loving husband. No matter what anyone says, you can not make it through this world alone. Yes, we have Jesus, and He is very sufficient!!! But the Lord gave us brothers and sisters in Christ to be fellow soldiers in this fight of faith. To strengthen, to help, to encourage and exhort. And to correct us, in love, from time to time when we start to slip. I have so much to be thankful for, like the song says....I've been blessed beyond my wildest dreams as I go to sleep each night!!!! God is soooo good, and He love ME!!!
