Singing in the Rain...Saturday...


Katya sings in a beautiful gown! Celebration with Tanya

Katya in Ukrainian Dress. The children dancing today.

Our Andri! Wow! Natasha, Sophia, Tanya, Andri & Katya


More Ukranian Celebration. Our beautiful daughter (dorchka).

We left Kiev today in the sun, and arrived to Novosilky, in the rain. So I wasn't quite prepared for that. The later, we left Novosilky in the sun, and returned to Kiev in a deluge in the streets, and a light down pour!

But it was a beautiful beautiful day! I don't know what was more memorable...the children's show, where Katya wore a beautiful gown and made us cry, or watching her cry and being able to talk to her about it, and understand each other, or when a new boy talked to us, asked us why were were in Ukraine, and then had a very suprised look on his face, and said "Congratulations" in a 'I can't hide my joy' kind of way!

We were later invited to watch Tanya in her concert at a Festive Ukrainian Holiday celebration. As I learn more about the history behind the celebration, I will share it. After all the celebrations, we watched G-force in Russian and English subtitles with the kids, and Katya fell asleep on my lap, and Sophia, fell asleep on the couch. Natasha later took some photos with me.

We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed our family and our day today. We hope that you are well back home, and finding joy in HIM and in your day. Please start praying for a miracle for next week. Our timing is probably not going to come true, unless a miracle happens.


In Him...Love Chris & Alesia.

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
