Work in Process

Wow, I haven’t even posted about our women’s conference. What women’s conference? That seems like ages ago! These 2 girls, Svieta and Xrystya were there with me, growing leaps and bounds through the seminars about Spiritual Gifts at our conference. I am so encouraged by their excitement in Christ as they continue their studies in Poland. They have each other and can really excel in developing as Christian women while away. More stories from the conference later…

I am writing from a stool under a sunny window sill that has no window coverings in our new apt. Next to me are walls with no base boards, a 10 foot high door frame with no door, and 15 IKEA bunk bed pieces that have yet to be assembled. We learned our lesson 3 years ago about internet – we made sure that we could get internet FIRST before even considering the place, rather than waiting a year like last time!!  Waiting on the doors, the blinds, the base. It is chaos here. Utter chaos. Not just physically but emotionally, too. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but we must press on to get there. Pray for us as we really need patience to endure the finalization of work, and then the unpacking of the move. We do a 360 and are really overwhelmed. But our hearts are very grateful for the help we’ve gotten from our Ukrainian and American friends here, as well as the beauty and excitement of a new place.

Unfortunately my girls haven’t even gotten to see the place yet, but they were sure kind to come over and help me pack those white “hat box” bins that we were blogging about over 3 years ago!
