Our house is a flurry of activity in preparation for travelling. We're busy tying up loose ends before setting out on our next trip to Russia.
But something interesting dawned on us today that led us to pause and reflect. It never ceases to amaze us that we always get exactly what we need for our trips to Russia. From our very first trip over four years ago, when we had no money of our own to speak of, we raised the exact amount of money we needed to pay our expenses for the trip. Several months ago we started a drive to raise supplies and money to donate to the orphanage for life-giving programs for the kids. Now, going in to our fourth trip, as of this morning, we have exactly the right amount of supplies and money that we asked for. I don't know why or how it happens this way. It's Providence perhaps. Whatever it is, we gladly accept. We like to think of this as affirmation that we're doing the right thing. We know that it's not because of us, but we're glad to be the ones who are tasked with looking after these kids, in some small way, for this period in our lives.
So to all of the donors, letter writers, and anyone who offers support, we say a resounding Thank You.

Hi, Ruby,
Thanks for the comment!
I had some conversations towards those ends while we were there. I'll email to discuss details.
Best to you in Ukraine! Doma International will be there when you are--www.domaconnection.org--and would love to connect with Father's House.
We'll be in touch.
God supplies what we need when we need it, especially when we're helping His little ones.
