****BIG NEWS***

We were not given our documents. 

This means we have to get out of Ukraine. 

We have to be out of Ukraine at least 3 months. 

We are all still trying to figure out things... 

But what the plan is at the moment is the Ledford family will be stateside...

I am still planning on going to Moldova as planned. 

And from there, things are still up in the air for me.

One option is for me to leave from Moldova and join my family in NC for the remaining two months...

I am still seeking God's direction-- because I don't know what he is up too, so I'm in full trust of his guidance because I don't have a clue.

Obviously there is a need for my family: Plane ticket money and of course they will need funds to live on while in the states.

For me, I am still thinking one step at a time... I need the rest of the money for my internship. And unfortunately one-way tickets are more expensive so I may need more funds than I originally planned for this internship. And from there I will need funds to get to the states and of course funds to live on.

If I am in the states I will want to make the most of it, so I will be open and wanting to do speaking engagements. So if you or your church will be interested in having me, just send me an email or FB message:)

Of course I would rather just be in Ukraine, but that is not in the plans for now, so I am going to be making the most of whatever God brings me:) Just pray for me because I need it. And pray for my family, for the logistics of getting things settled here in L'viv. Lots goes into traveling so just pray for peace and smooth transitions for all of us!

I will post another update when I have more information. I am just grateful that nobody was arrested today, and I am also grateful for the support network that I have through all of you! Thank you!

Sex Standing Up : Moldova Part 2

If you missed part one, please read it first: Part 1 Throughout my trip I was reading the book written by John Eldredge, entitled Beautiful Outlaw. If you've not read it, I would highly encourage you to do so. And I hope with this next sentence you will still read his book, and the rest of this blog for that matter. The title of this blog I questioned, but you are here reading this so it either hooked you in, or was in poor taste enough that either way you are here. In Eldredege’s book, he pokes fun at the joke, that I've heard many say about Baptist, you know the one, “ Why don’t Baptist have sex standing up? Because it would look too much like dancing.” Honestly I've never gotten the joke, cause I’m not sure a Baptist would talk about sex in public either, well at least not the good ole’ conservative southern Baptist. But this was the point, Christians in their various denominations get lost in their theology. They, I guess I should say ...

Serenity

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.  Today has been a bit of a struggle for me. I've been asking God why, which is never an encouraging way to spend the day. It all started with a little boy at the social orphanage. Last week, he was a little wild, so I just scooped him up, and held him in my lap, while Ed told the Bible Story. As we sat, this little boy just melted into my arms, sat quietly, and listened. So this week, as soon as I sat down in the classroom, he was climbing into my lap, and started to just talk to me.  He told me how everyone had gotten picked up this weekend and got to go home for the holiday Ukraine just celebrated. This social orphanage we go to, the kids live and go to school in one place. Their parents either are incarcerated, too poor to care for their child, or a single parent. Some people put their kids in this "school" so that they ca...

RIP

I  want to take the time to let you know how great Dr. K was. He has been a ministry partner with Hands on Missions for a really long time. His free medical clinic offered aid to thousand. He would make house calls (even to the missionaries in town) and give free medicine. Often he would visit our elderly neighbors, patiently listen to their every whim, as though he had all his day to offer sympathy. I left Ukraine for a couple years, and when I returned, I ran into Dr. K on the street. He genuinely took interest in how I was doing asking questions and encouraging me. Couple months ago my arm went numb and I was freaking out a little bit so I went to Dr. K for help. I was in pain and worried, and he looked at me and said, its okay, don't worry. And after a chiropractic session, I could feel my hand again. Did you know if it had not been for Dr. K my family would not be in Ukraine. My mom originally came to Ukraine in the 90's to do children's ministry outside ...
