We have an empty nest here. At least it's just temporary. I had planned that Bogdan, Asya, and I would all travel to help with a winter Christmas program, but I also agreed to be here to watch two little girls from Kherson when their baby brother is born. I thought he would have made his appearance well before it was time for us to go, but he had other plans. So, on Monday Asya went off by herself to serve. Her little dog, Leo, actually cried when we saw her off. Of course, he misses her when she is gone, but he hasn't seemed to understand the actual leaving before. Then, on Tuesday Bogdan went with his local friends to help in a program for kids in a nearby village. He's staying out there until Saturday. We hear very little from him, so I guess all is going well.
And we're not exactly sitting around crying here. Last night our small group came, getting restarted and catching up after a short break for the holidays. I have already been working through a good bit of reading, writing, and watching videos to catch up on a Young Life course I need to finish taking, and I'm working with the other Sunday school teachers to plan what's next there.
I'm waiting for this baby to be born.... |
