PRAYER REQUESTS

In terms of the orphanage and prayer needs, several of the kids know that they will be leaving the orphanage soon, exactly when; literally comes down to the day sometimes when someone has time to drive the kids to their "new home" and old folks home of the directors choice. The two girls, Christina and Katya, are dear girls and I know their heart is in a quandary as to how to emotionally leave their home and fiends and say goodbye to all they have ever known. My own heart struggles too. These are sweet girls that I have grown to love. Though I can still keep in touch with them, my heart already is breaking over the fact that they will be leaving.

Personally for me, I continue to deal with health issues and struggle to find clear answers here within the existing health system. The expense of getting what I think is better health care, well is may not really be and that's disappointing, simply because there are not a lot of good options available in Ukraine.

Wisdom for decisions, insight from the Lord, and my openness to hear His voice and not trust my own understanding, but His.
