God is good

Thank you for all the prayers. I have such a peace today. Things have been kind of crazy, but it was a very good day. I am resting in the Lord and I will see what He wants from me.

I spoke with Singapore airlines and there is a chance we can get on the Thursday flight. We might get priority because of the adoption issues here in Russia. They were very understanding. I should find out tomorrow when we are booked.

We got the girls passports back today. We have everything we need to leave (other than a flight home lol). I am looking forward to being at Marinas. It will be nice having someone there to translate. I am just very ready to be home!

We would still love all the prayers we can get!

My brother said something I found very funny today in an email. I just love it:

"So, in your trips to Russia you’ve had a terrorist attack that made worldwide headlines, an adoptions scandal that made worldwide headlines, and a volcanic cloud that’s made worldwide headlines."

It does seem strange. There is more, but I do not have time to go into all the "weird" things that have happened.

I do have a confession and a conviction. I was having my little melt down yesterday and feeling sorry for myself and stressing over my situation when I got an email from someone saying they were praying for me. This person is in the middle of their adoption. Their papers are in court, they are waiting for a date. They are not sure with everything going on when they will get a date, or if they do that they would be able to fly here and it hit me..... I have NO RIGHT to complain. My girls are with me. They are legally mine. They can leave the country. It just may take more time. I am blessed beyond all means and it could have been much worse. Thank you for the perspective, I really needed that! It is hard, but I have so many people praying for me and the girls. I know this is covered in God's grace!
