any powerful or compelling feeling

It has been such a treat to be able to spend the holidays with my friends and family. I am thankful that I have had three enjoyable weeks of love and laughter. Although I am sad to leave the U.S., I cannot wait to go home to eight of the most precious kids.

Being home has given me a lot of time to think about my life/ministry in the Ukraine. My mind has been preoccupied with where I need to be in the next few months.
One day I decided to start researching Christian organizations in the Ukraine. I spent a few hours looking through various organizations that ministered to orphans, foster children, youth, rehabilitation patients, Ukrainian Jews, gypsies, single mothers, etc. A fire of desire (Woah. Dr. Seuss moment.) began to burn within me.
If you think that a certain ministry stuck out and I heard a booming voice from the heavens saying, "This is where you need to go!"...it did not happen. I know, I thought it would happen too. 

I want to be a catalyst for Ukraine. My biggest passion (right now) is to bring ministries such as Samaritan's Purse to western Ukraine. I'm uncertain where this dream will lead me, but what an adventure it will be. I ask for your continued prayer and support as I continue to discover what my purpose is for living in the Ukraine.
