THE FIRST DAY Of the Journey HAS FINALLY COME!

Good morning sweet ladies!!!!!!! You are the most precious ladies in the whole "WIDE" world! I truly mean it though. 



This is the beginning of our journaling with our son and wife's adoption for a little Ukrainian orphan boy!!!!!!!! My sweet man prayed with Josh and all the fam, that were here last night. That God would use he and Tonya  in the Ukraine for His glory........join us please. May many come to know Jesus, because they shared about Him with them. 

 We have prayed and prayed for this day to come. So many of you have given of your time doing fundraisers with and given funds. We want to say thank you sooooooo much. My heart is so full this morning and I can hardly contain myself, lots of emotions going on!  Josh and Tonya will start on a journey of a life time. They will be on their way to the Ukraine this very day!

Tress just took their pic. Can't hardly believe our dream and prayer is unfolding. To have the opportunity for a little orphan boy to come back to our HOME is almost unreal. We are very nervous to say the least. The kids love this little boy and nothing is going to stop them from pursuing  him, with the Lord at the forefront. It has been hard this last month, but God has given them the courage that they need to just go. Please pray for J and T today, as they will not get to there destination until tomorrow. I will keep you posted............ so you can continue to pray. 


Please pray he will continue to say yes.


Some of you have taken the time to pray for V everyday since I told you about our adventure and it has blessed my heart beyond. May God bless the sweetness that has been shown to our family. Thank you also for the sacrificial moneys that have been dontated. It always seemed that it was given right when needed......amazing! Last night there was a candle party. One lady bought a candle and then gave an extra check of $500. Makes me cry as I type. The sweetness that has been shown to my children has been so unbelievable. The outpouring kindness is not going unnoticed by God or our family. He has loved on our kids through precious people like you. Our prayer is God would bless you, if not here in heaven.......smile!!!!!!!!! 

Today we are having Grammie and Poppa Camp. It will help Ellie and Ian who are Tonya and Josh's children. We thought it would help on the first few days as their parents are traveling. The grandkids are so excited. It will be a good day. I have been pinning on my Pinterest and have a Grammie and Poppa Camp Board. You can click on my board and get the recipes. We are going to stay in the refuge cabin, if it isn't to hot tonight. 


The kids will help me make this game and 




these, are they not the cutest? 



We will eat these............


make up these little cuteness sandwich rolls...........


pulling on this!!!!!!!


And.........I can't wait to try this out.......I have been saving my catsup bottle.


I will get the dough in the bread machine, as soon as I get this post up!!!!!!!


There will be a lot of God chatter going on.....memorizing the word......and lots of noise! Think we will work on their fort,  if we can....it is to be 100 degrees today..........the kids have been wanting to do work on it forever!!!

Welcome new followers.......you have been noticed.......by ME!

I HEART you ladies!!!

Hugs from my farm to all your precious homes, 


Linda
