A dream that came true

I am so rejoice to tell you about awesome blessing what happened recently!

Most of you...I believe, you already "know" sweet Yaroslava, whom BOM supports.HERE I shared with you about some of troubles she had and how miraculously God blessed her. And mentioned her dream.

Since childhood, she dreamed of learning to play piano.But because of finances, even after graduating orphanage, she could not realize her dream.

But many years later, her dream came true and became a reality! Praise God!!!!!!

Faithful Heavenly Father wonderfully blessed! An one sweet woman, piano teacher in the U.S. has become a tool, and the answer to the prayers of Yaroslava. Today this lovely girl studying this instrument that to serve to the Lord and glorify Him, Who saved her and changed her life.Awesome!

But again, it was not without injustice to the orphans...

Director of a music school denied of our girl, because she orphan... :(

Does it seem strange to you? Orphans here are often faced with injustice. It breaks the heart of course, sometimes makes you angry or feel helpless... Often wipe their bitter tears and cried out to God for justice and protect these precious souls.

But again, God allows difficulties to happen because holding up something to bless wonderfully  and give the best that He has already prepared. (Romans 8:28) 

Also, in a situation with our dear soul. A one director denied to Yaroslava. The poor girl was ready to cry and was so upset. 

But in another music school, other director agreed and she liked our sweet girl. :)  Lord arranged everything just perfect and wonderful teacher and classes for weeks and a lot of different things!God is SO good as always!!!!!!

After the first lesson, Yaroslava did not go home but flew on the wings of joy. She was sooooo delighted and jumped for joy! It seemed there was no end of joy and she talked incessantly about her experiences and delighted. She could not believe that her dream finally come true! :)

The first steps playing piano 

                          
We are SO happy for precious Yaroslava!!!Thank God that helped fulfill the dream of this sweet girl!!!!!!Special thanks to sister in Christ, Julie K.! :) Love you all!!!!!

Bad news. Prayers for precious pregnant mommies!

I have bad news for you dear Friends.

Recently, I told you that Kolya and Zhenya are expecting their second baby. But we learned that our sweet mommy may lose this precious babe... Please, pray for the health of our young mom and her little treasure. That this sweet family might rejoice, when the little one will born.

And more bad news and prayer request.

Our dearest Olga very poorly tolerates pregnancy.She has a very bad anemia. Olga suffer from this since her childhood. Never been treating her health in orphanage.Does anyone pay attention to this minor illness?

I was not paying attention as well... Until the doctor Olga said that it is very bad. This not only affects the development of the child and mother. But also in the birth process. The doctor said that there may be bad consequences with the child or the mother.  Or Olga simply  may not  survive during childbirth...

Here what I have found on Internet:

Severe or untreated iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy can increase your risk of having:

• A preterm or low-birth-weight baby 
• A blood transfusion (if you lose a significant amount of blood during delivery)

Doctors said they would do a blood transfusion for Olga, if the hemoglobin does not increase in the near future.

• Postpartum depression
• A baby with anemia
• A child with developmental delays

What I have found HERE

Iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of preterm deliveryand low birth weight. It's also associated with a higher risk of stillbirth or newborn death, so it's something to take seriously.

We help our young mommy with iron rich foods but it does not help... And I am not very happy that Olechka has a bad appetite. Probably because of anemia?

Sasha is not happy doctor of Olga. He not once complained that he saw not a good attitude to his wife. Once a doctor appointed injections to increase iron in the blood Olga. When husband bought it, he read the instruction, he learned that these injections are contraindicated for pregnant women at all!It COULD KILL their baby!!!! Oh, my. Why are doctors so irresponsible??? But we trust them our life! So scary. Ooh!

Sasha complained chief medical clinic, explaining the situation. Chief doctor said that will deal with their doctor . And advised to continue to go for a visit, but do not buy medicine, those that she attributes, and to go to another doctor ( to whom she said ), and to consult with him.

Wouldn't it be better to change the doctor at all?I really do not know or they can do it.One of these days, Sasha is going to go to the clinic to resolve this issue.

In any case. PLEASE, pray for lovely mother, for her health and their baby. If earlier she was not afraid to give birth. Today she is very scared. Sasha also worry and is afraid of losing his dearest and beloved wife and unborn sweet boy. Pray they trust more to the Lord and for peace in their hearts.Thanks a lot!!

New vision and a new hope

One day, a young girl came to visit an ophthalmologist with a nurse of orphanage. It was an ordinary workaday gray day, is no different from other days of this poor orphan. She is blind in her right eye and the left very bad sights...

 What the doctor will say? Perhaps there is some hope? After all, day by day I see the bad ... Thought 16 year old girl, sitting in front of a doctor waiting for something better. 

-Dear, things are very bad and you need to wear glasses. Do you know about that? The doctor asked. 

-Yes... But when I wear glasses, my head starts to spin. So I can not wear glasses... Replied the young lady. 

-Well, then you need the eye-lens. Can anyone help you? asked the doctor again knowing she is an orphan.

And here burst into loud laughter. 

-Who? Her lenses? You laugh!Who will help her?Who needs she?-sarcastically said the nurse of orphanage. 

Like a sharp sword plunged into the little heart! Sounded like the last sentence. "Who will help her and who needs she ..." 

So lonely and helpless, orphan girl was ready to burst into tears in the doctor's office, barely holding back tears ... The words stuck in head,  "Who needs she..."

This is a REAL story of young lady, Friends!This is a real story of orphan girl, who felt this hurt and had no hope!
It's NO secret. That many orphans have to pass through the valley of humiliation and helplessness...Many orphans pass through the valley of fear and without hope for help.

But this heartbreaking story has a wonderful end.And this is one more wonderful blessing about what I was going to share with you all for a sooooo long time...

Today, this precious soul distinguishes red and orange colors. Before  this, all blended into one. She began to see more clearly and to distinguish shapes and images. Lovely M. even started a little better to see! How awesome is that? Praise God!!!

This beautiful young lady has a wonderful sponsor from Canada.For the past half-year, she wears lenses already and sooooo happy that God answered her prayers!She is VERY grateful and always thanks God in prayers for this awesome blessing. How amazing is this to hear a thankful prayer from orphan?

Recently we learned that this poor girl has no winter shoes and wears a jacket of her classmate. Learning the details, praying and thinking how to help her. We learned that her friend and beautiful girl O. also had no a winter jacket and boots. Oh, poor children...How it can be?

I know. I know how they felt... One day, I was also in the winter without boots at orphanage.

Seeing and knowing how they are cold. We could not bear it! You should have seen HOW they are poor lambs cold and trembling at the day when we bought the necessary clothing and shoes. Still not understanding the size and did not really see self in the mirror. They trembly from the cold,  hurried to report. "Oh, I love it! I love and it's exelent for me!" When we again asked: "Are you sure?" "Oh, yes, yes!",-they happily responded with sparkling eyes. They both were overjoyed and so happy!!!!

We so and SO happy God miraculously provided winter jackets and boots to these lovely young ladies through His children, who opened their hearts to bless these orphans.We are so glad to know they will stay warm this winter. God is so good!!!

Next year(in a few days, :) ), in summer, these 2 precious girls will join to our local church and stay with us , where we fully will be able to help them in needed things and support them. We are so excited!

They can not wait for, when this will happen also, as they have to endure a lot and to go through at orphanage. But they also very scared, because they do not know what awaits them in the future and where to go.They both want to enrol to some colleges.Would you, please, remember them both in your prayers? 

Can you believe that these 5 ladies are from an one orphanage?

From the left to the right.  I, sweet M. in blue, Oksana(my sister) and precious Yaroslava.And lovely O., who is not on the picture. But I guess you already saw her above. :)

Hmm. Don't you find it interesting what God is doing? :)

Wonderful news about Zhenya`s family!

Can you believe that Zhenya`s family moved AGAIN?Oh, my!Poor, poor souls...How many times they should to move to finding a better place?It would be so stressful for me...

This is very small house where lives Zhenya, her husband Kolya and sweet Vitya.Of course, the house leaves a lot to be desired...

It's like the girls opened the gate that the van drove into the yard.

 Zhenya has no washing machine and all the clothes she washes her hands.This is how dry wet clothes, even when there is no sun.

 Other side of the house

But inside is a small healthy man, who brings such a joy to his parents. Isn`t he beautiful? :)

 Even there only an one very tiny room, Zhenya and Kolya happily live there.We were very glad that house is warm. There is gas system, that helps to keep house warm.

That this precious small sunshine, grow and stay warm with his lovely parents.

Vitya has his first teeth. What a joy to parents! :)

It made ​​us smile and warmed our hearts. When serving tea,  Zhenya put the cup and dishes on the table, what were given to graduates of orphanages this year. It warms the heart and soul, when we  meet graduates, we see that they use the blessing that has been done by many of you. :) We are waiting to begin this exciting Projects next spring, a few months!

But the most wonderful news that I wanted to share with you. A one Christain lady has provided(gave for renting)  this little house to this precious family, absolutely free! They need to pay only for the electricity and gas. 

Kolya and Zhenya were forced to move out of this house. Every night came drunk people and harassed the family. Life became unbearable. This poor family were forced to move out of the house in search of another quiet place.

Kolya also found a good job. Seemed impossible and he was not sure he could find a job at all in this small town . But what is impossible for the Lord ? Just when this family moved to this town , the local authorities have started to build a bread factory and they needed workers . Thus a young father has a job! Even for some time, but he is able to feed his family. How wonderful !

Zhenya also began attends communities Christian believers. It's a bit far for them to come each meeting to our local Bible Baptist Church. When they can. They attend our church as well. Wonderful, what God is doing !

A few months ago we had an urgent prayer request for this family, as they stayed on the street . But look what the Lord has done! They have, though very small, but warm house. They are happy to live there! Kolya has a job. Zhenya started attending church services. And another. Little Victor in April will be the older brother! Kolya and Zhenya expect another baby. :)

So, so happy for this family!See what love and prayers CAN DO!Thank you, Friends!Thank you so VERY MUCH!!!!!!! I believe, thanks to your many prayers, God has done all these blessings. :) This is amazing what power of prayer can do!This is such wonderful blessing, when several hundreds brothers and sisters in Christ can pray together and bring glory to the Lord Jesus! How awesome is that? :)

Would you, please continue to pray for this sweet family? Both parents are former orphans, who still need so great support...Thanks.
