i have been thinking about this week last year as October and fall is settling in here in NWA. it was the week i spent in ukraine with abby, ginny, and matt! looking back on it, it really was such a sweet and peaceful week.
matt and ginny met their daughter.
abby spent time with a little sweet girl, that will soon officially become her and daniel's daughter.
we had great fall weather, smooth travels and settled into a little ukrainian routine. breakfast and coffee, work, lunch, work, dinner, talking and laughing until way later than we should have been awake! the slow pace let us really take it all in. we enjoyed this slow pace at the orphanage and truly made friends with caregivers and doctors and got to see little personalities come alive. we enjoyed getting a better glimpse into the kids daily routines, meal times, nap times, and seeing more of what life was like for them. i really feel that God specifically used that week in my life to see His goodness.
i get so excited at the thought of this little girl being home.
thank you God for sending me to Ukraine last October, and for every detail you over saw during our time there. i can never be thankful enough!!!
and you can't really beat the desserts and tea time! maybe i'll fix myself up some ukrainian treats this week to celebrate!
happy october!
