Prayers for Votemom

It's late Tuesday night, July 2 here so it's the morning of the July 3rd in Russia.

Just a reminder that votemom and her DH have court July 4th for the girls.

In case I don't make it back here, I just wanted to remind you all to please keep her in your prayers the evening of July 3rd being that they are ahead of us there.

Thinking and praying for you S, your family and the girls too!

Prayers for you Votemom!

Here's one of my favorite scriptures that seemed so appropriate when I was in Russia, while family and friends were waiting to hear good news from me . . .

Proverbs 25:25
Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.


Votemom, God is near and our prayers are with you . . .

Prayers being sent for your angels to be united w/ their forever family. I can't wait to see pictures of the girls. Enjoy this time as I know your journey has been long. Yes, you've had detours and broken roads but they've all led you to this point in time. Know my friend that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Happy 4th of July!!! What a way to celebrate.

Take care,
