See pink girl shoulders next to 11 year old boy? That is our Sophia (Pasha), and they were writing notes all night long. Brings back memories, and I asked a woman to keep her eye on them for me, but now that I think of it, that woman was helping with babies tonight!
We came today from about 5-9 and showed the movie Robots on the wall. Chris met us at about 6 from work. It was fun.
I met Katya's friend, Sasha before coming to the orphanage. They met in the hospital when Katya had her appendix out and Sasha had bowel surgery. Sasha is 17 and studying to be a nurse. She seems like a very bright, kind young lady. We asked permission for her to visit tomorrow with us, and were told ok, which was great. It has been a long time since they have seen each other, and sometimes visits are not allowed, so that has been hard on both girls.
No court date yet...Egg hunt tomorrow...movie tomorrow night projected on the wall (Cars). It's late here. God Bless You, and thanks for all your prayers and help! Alesia & Chris
PS..if you have time..look up that news article Pamela sent..WOW..is all I can say..WOW! There are so many support systems for that situation, and without trying to sound judgemental, I guess I'd say, why did she even try to adopt in the first place. I couldn't even believe my eyes. WOW.
Pray for those who persecute you....
Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."
Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....
Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.
2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.
We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
