We are now six days to departure for our first trip to meet our little guy in Vlad. Having been through this before, we're actually pretty much at ease. We know what to expect (at least we think we do!). However, much work remains to be done. Packing lists need to be finished. Preparations need to be made for Joel's parents' arrival. They will be staying with Nadya and the boys while we're away. Everything is on track. Oh yeah, then there was last night...




Aside from all of the above, like I said, we're on track for departure. There is much to be done. We're hoping to get a lot done today. We have Clarion's family in town for Easter, so they'll be able to assist us as we prepare for our journey. It's always a blessing to have loved ones around at such a significant time. Of course, last night was Good Friday. Tomorrow is Easter. The death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus brings ultimate hope for Christians. What a hope we have in Christ Jesus in the midst of the storms of this life! He promises resurrection and life for us. Because He lives, we shall live also. Thanks be to God for the victory in Christ Jesus!
Joel & Clarion
