2/8/13: UPDATE: The team is buying tickets
next week and I had hoped to fly Kolya and I there using my miles we
have earned so all we would have to do is pay for 5000 miles ($183) and
pay for the flight home and of course the actual trip which
is apartment, food, travel, etc. to Kyiv. Booking the tickets with
Lufthansa using the Free Miles well they are not so free. The time I
pay for the taxes and those miles it will cost Kolya and I more using
the miles then if we booked with the actual team. So then Joe and I
talked he said maybe God just wants you on this trip alone. So I called
back to Lufthansa and once again the tickets taxes and miles I need to
get it will be cheaper to fly with the team. So here I am not a clue
what God is wanting us to do. He doesnt use texting so I am flat outta
luck there LOL!. Again many doors were opened and now we sit here not
even able to use our Free Miles that are not free and calling on God for
help. Again we just want to Christ and if he is not calling us to be
on this trip then we dont move a muscle. We are open to what he calls
for us. Call me a redneck (I love me some overalls) but I am not sure
if this is my sign or if he is just asking me to trust and obey again.
I need a BIG banner held up from Him to know what does he need us to
do. So Kolya and I ask for your prayers that God makes it abundantly
clear as to where he needs us....whether it be right here in the US or
if both or just me on this team trip. We have no funds at this point
towards the trip and for us both to go we would need a total of $3200.00
and if I were to just go $1600.00 paid directly to Redline United
(tax-deductible). So I would like to tell ya all we are on that flight
but I am not sure if God wants us on that flight and I have to trust and
obey once again he will make our paths clear and will show us if he
does by the funds being provided for us or just me to get there to the
kids.

Kolya and I were just in prayer that Lord make
it abundantly clear if we are to be on that plane with the team heading
to Ukraine and we asked him to open the flood gates or shut them if we
are not to be on that plane. To me this is the ultimate
mission trip to have the opportunity to serve with my son and reach
into the hearts his own culture, these beautiful Children of Christ and
to be their voice in hopes of finding them forever families. I feel so
strongly and do not question we are called to be on that plane heading
to Ukraine but I want to make sure God has called us, Kolya and I to be
on this trip and it is not my own hearts desire. God knows the desires
of our hearts and I pray they are pleasing to Him. I had said after
bringing Stophie home Lord no more Ukraine I am good I am done, but I
know He has different plans for us in Ukraine and I know how He so loves
for me to say "Never". He has put that flame in me that we need to
return he is not done with the Dewberrys there yet. And I know how the
Orphans has His heart and they are ever so precious to Him.
We leave in
38 days and have $3200.00 for our total trip to raise. The team is
preparing to book flights now and we need $1000.00 per person to put
down basically now in order to book the flights which is $2000.00 for
both of us we need to fund NOW. Then the remaining needs to be in by March
14th, 7 days prior to take off. I have seen God work miracles in the
lives of others bringing what seems impossible, possible and my two
little ones adoptions looked like the impossible and God made it
possible so I have no reason to question or doubt but just wait on the
Lord to make his mission clear to Kolya and I.
