I don't know if its that I miss Chris, or it's that time of the month, or if it's being all together and us all being different but today is a little "foo" like they say here when things are bad.
Natasha has a fever, but otherwise is doing fine. We went shopping and bought some art supplies, and projects to keep the video/tv/computer to a minimum. Also, there is a big difference in music styles. I'm just trying to slow the "hype" down.
I need to sign off and "sleep" with the kids, so they slow down and rest a little. We are all camping out in one room, so not much space for privacy.I wish I could tell everything, but I'm sure people are reading this, and I don't want to compromise privacy.
I love you all and appreciate your prayers. We just need to work on right attitudes, truthfulness, and being able to say we're sorry. We will watch a parade tomorrow which should be fun.
Love 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
Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to your return to MN. and meeting Katya, Pasha, Natasha & Andri in person.
