To Romania!

In the midst of all my lists and things to do before leaving, I am still in awe of God's faithfulness and love for Nate and I. Proiding an opportunity for me to go to Romania to see Rachel and Iza and the kiddos at the center... to love them and spend time with them. I am so thankful. I wasn't sure when, or if I would be able to go over, even though I had a desire in my heart from the first time I saw pictures of those little angels. I wasn't sure why I didn't have a job yet. I knew God had something in mind, but what, I never know. "And here you go", He said, "you're going to Romania". I wouldn't have been able to take off for two weeks and go if I were working somewhere. God knew, I was just supposed to trust.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

I'm super excited!!! Pray for Nate, as he will be without me for two weeks. The jury is out on how he will survive!

Heeellllloooooo Bloggin' World!

We did it! We stinkin' did it! We're apart of this secret society that only a few people have joined. I used to (still do) make fun of people who blog. But we figured since we moved to Indiana that this would be a great way to stay in touch and share what's going on in the ol' Ross household. God is lining up a pretty phenomenal fall and we can't wait to live every moment of it. For example, today we were at Sellersburg Celebrates, the hometown parade and fair, when a man dressed up as Jesus came walking down the parade with the Boy Scouts right behind him. And the good mother-in-law was also in the parade for being the new nurse at the local high school. Always a good feeling to know that you have a connection for unlimited band-aids. I told you this fall is going to be nuts! Glad to be a part of this elite group knowing as "Bloggers."
