Off to Ukraine

For months I've been planning a trip to Ukraine. At first, we had a team of five. Then it went to a team of three. Then two. Finally it came down to me going alone. I was really wondering what was going on.

Then I learned. This past Sunday morning my Mother fell and broke her arm. She was in the hospital until Thursday night. (I was scheduled to leave on Friday.) At considerable expense, my itinerary was changed to leave on Sunday. Who would have thought that a two day delay would be so expensive?

I went to the rehab facility Saturday afternoon for one last visit before I left. For the first time this week, she was calm and pleasant. I don't know whether it was because she finally caught up on her rest or she finally got enough pain medication. Either way, it will be a little easier to leave tomorrow morning.

God remains in control. There would have been no way to pull off a two day delay if there were still five people on the team.
