Today is the day that Kate and I either see our child and begin to climb this mountain or come home to Ruston and wait for our facilitator to find us a child. It has been a long and treacherous week but we know God is in control. In about 3 hours we will begin to head to the SDA, stand in front of the infamous sign, and anxiously await our names to be called. We will sit with Luba on that L shaped tan couch that thousands have sat on, and pray that Maria (the psychologist) will hand us a file that has our child's picture on it. This whole week we have read that couple after couple have found their children and we believe that God will continue the blessing to us. All last night I was having dreams about our child over and over, I believe that God may have been trying to show me that this journey is worth the cost. I think about Joshua and Moses standing at the edge of the promised land, how God had led them for years and though it would require a fight they knew the reward was worth the cost. I believe whole heartedly that God has led us this far and that the reward is completely worth the anxiety, the money, the heartache, and the pain. So please pray that in 3 hours as we stand on those steps at the SDA we are only moments away from our child's file that before the foundations of the earth God knew we would have to come and get.
On a lighter note, Kate and I had a wonderful day yesterday visiting some more sights. We started our day off at our favorite restaurant, we call the door, with some traditional borsch. We went to see the Chornobyl museum which pays homage to one of the largest accidental nuclear disasters ever, located on the north side of Kiev. The museum was very well done and even had little radioactive gauges that would explain the exhibit to us in english. We hopped on the metro and headed to Independent Square, then walked to the park that gave a beautiful view of Kiev. Walked through the park and played a little while there, then got back on the metro and went to see Volodomyrs Cathedral and a park near by. We went back to the fountain to soak our feet after a long day of walking, and I decided "When in kiev...". Enjoy some of the pictures by clicking on them and we hope to give you some great news this afternoon. We love you all and keep praying.
