kicking my dear friend under the bus

IF YOU DIDN'T READ MY BLOG FROM EARLIER TODAY JUST READ THIS PART. .WE HOPE BY THE END OF THE DAY WE WILL HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS TO REPORT ON EVERYTHING... BUT WHILE WE ARE WAITING I KNOW GOD HAS A PLAN AND I AM WILLING TO FOLLOW IT..THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN A TRUE TEST OF PATIENCE AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO FOLLOW IT TO THE END... Proverbs 16: 4 the lord works out everything for his own ends. HERE GOES THAT LIL WORD PATIENCE AGAIN. WHEN WE GOT OFF THE TRAIN WE SCREAMED TO MARIUPOL AT ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR. COME INTO TOWN AND GOT DROPPED OFF SAID WAIT HERE WE WILL NE BACK IN A HOUR MAYBE TWO. WELL AS WE WERE SITTING DOWN FOR LUNCH 5 1/2 HOURS LATER WE WERE SCREAMING AROUND TOWN .RUNNING IN THIS BUILDING THEN THE NEXT. WE WERE GOING BY THE HOME TO TAKE A PASSPORT PICTURE. NEXT THING YOU KNOW MY FRIEND SAYS LET'S GO AND WE LEAVE TOM THAT HAS BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE CHILDREN ALL OF ABOUT THREE MINUTES. WE RUN OUT THE DOOR TO DO SOME MORE PAPER WORK. I HAVE TO EMAIL TOM AND TELL HIM TO PUT SOME CLOTHES ON THEM AND IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE.. SO AFTER DOING THE NEXT BIT OF PAPER WORK WE GET BACK TO THE HOME.. AND I WAS THERE FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES. IN WHICH I WAS SIGNING MORE PAPER WORK.. THEN WE HAVE THAT HOUR AND A HALF RIDE BACK TO THE OTHER TOWN TO GET PASSPORT INFO. FILED WE HAD TOO CALL AHEAD BEG BEG AND BEG SOME MORE FOR THEM TO WAIT ON US. SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THAT TOWN.. SO WE MAKE IT IN TIME GET THE PAPERS DONE AND WE FIND THE FRONT DOOR LOCKED WE ARE LOCKED IN THIS GOVERNMENT BUILDING.. WE FOUND SOMEONE THAT WAS CLEANING THE BUILDING TO HELP US GET OUT.. THEN WE HAVE A TWENTY MINUTE RIDE TO THE TRAIN STATION THAT THE TRAIN LEAVES IN THIRTY MINUTES..WOW I JUMP OUT THE FRONT DOOR SEND TOM AND KIDS AROUND BACK I GO GET THE TICKETS. SWING BACK TO GO FIND THEM GO BY THIS PLACE THAT I USALLY WOULDN'T EAT AT FOUND FOUR PIECES OF THIS PIZZA LIKE SUBSTANCE COLD DIFFERENT FOUR BOTTLES OF WATER AND MY CHILDREN'S FIRST MEAL WAS TOGETHER .. WE GOT INTO THE TRAIN CAR GOT SETTLED AND ALL SAT TOGETHER AND PRAYED HOLDING HANDS THANKING GOD FOR ALL HE HAS DONE..I HAVE TRAVELED ALMOST SIX THOUSAND MILES TO GET THEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN TO PLANS TODAY..I NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD TURN OUT LIKE THIS BUT "GOD KNOWS". IF I WOULD OF HAD A HOUR TO TELL ALL OF THOSE OTHER CHILDREN GOODBYE I LITERALLY THINK I WOULD OF HAD A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK. I DON'T THINK I WOULD OF EVER BEEN ABLE TO WALK OUT WITH MY OWN POWER.. GOD KNOWS WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T DO AND I THANK HIM MUCH FOR THAT.. PS. WATCH OUT KIEV WE GONNA BUST THAT TOWN WIDE OPEN TOMMOROW.. THANKS MIKE,TOM,ABBIE,GAGE Have a wonderful day. And GOD bless

april 2nd &3rd

As I SIT ON A PLANE GOING BACK ACROSS THE BIG POND. ONE MORE TIME I WOULD LIKe
TO SAY THANKS ONE MORE TIME FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS HELPED ME MAKE IT THIS FAR
FROM THE PERSON WHO HAD THE SMALLEST PART TO THE BIGGEST PART IN THIS JOURNEY..
SOME TIMES IT'S BEEN HARD TO STOP AND SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE
DONE..ITS BEEN A WONDERFUL JOURNEY SO FAR AND I KNOW WITH GODS HANDS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THIS IT'S GONNA BE FINE.

ITS NOW MONDAY MORNING I NOW SIT IN DOWNTOWN MARIUPOL AND GUESS WHAT I AM
DOING. YOU GOT IT WAITING. WE HAD A PRETTY MUCH UN-eventful TRIP SO FAR THE
TRAIN RIDE LAST NIGHT WASN'T HOT THANKS TO THE WOOL BLANKETS PACKED ON TOP OF
THE HEATER MADE IT AT LEAST WARM AND NOT HOT.. SUPPER LAST NIGHT WAS A LOAF OF
BREAD NOT SLICED AND SOME SORT OF SMOKED SAUSAGE AND PRETZELS.. I MADE SURE
LAST TRIP THAT MY BRIDE GOT TO EAT GOOD.. BUT MY DEAR FRIEND TOM MAY LOOSE SOME
WEIGHT IF THIS KEEPS UP..

JUST AS WE GOT INTO THE TRAIN LAST NIGHT MY LAWYER FRIEND LOOKED AT MY PAPER
WORK THAT I BROUGHT AND SAID THAT I WAS MISSING A PAGE... WELL GUESS HOW MUCH
SLEEP AFTER THAT COMMENT..NOT MUCH!!!! SO THIS MORNING THE US EMBASY WILL GET A
CALL ON DO WE REALLY NEED THAT LETTER OR NOT... MY PRAYER IS THAT WE WILL BE
OK.. BUT IN THE MEAN TIME WE ARE LOOKING FOR A WOMAN THAT LOOKS LIKE LEEANN SOO
THEY CAN GO SIGN THIS PAPER WITH ME... THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT THERE NOT ANY
IN THE UKRAINE THAT GOOD LOOKING BUT WE WILL TRY..

WE HOPE BY THE END OF THE DAY WE WILL HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS TO REPORT ON
EVERYTHING... BUT WHILE WE ARE WAITING I KNOW GOD HAS A PLAN AND I AM WILLING TO
FOLLOW IT..THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN A TRUE TEST OF PATIENCE AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO
FOLLOW IT TO THE END...

Proverbs 16: 4 the lord works out everything for his own ends.




Have a wonderful day. And GOD bless
