Arkansas and Texas

Hello Everyone! So and so many things have happened for last few weeks! I have so and so many exciting news to share with you! 

First one. I am in Ukraine now and came back safe and good. Yay! Yes, I had some adventures, when I flew through France. But about it little later :) Our young adults and sweet friends met me in airport and everyone missed me a lot.

Second. I would love to thank you ALL for prayers! I have had simply AMAZING travel to U.S.!  I know, I would not have so many such exciting moments and awesome blessings, without your prayers, dear friends! In every moment, I saw God`s hand and His presence. God has been so good!

So, after California I flew to Arkansas. So, what I did there? :)

I had a privilege to share about Bible Orphan Ministry on 2 church services. It was my first speech ever. I felt my English was terrible... but love of Christians and care showed the presence of God there. It touched my heart that many people thanked me for sharing about ministry. I met new wonderful brothers and sisters. :)

I joined to baby shower. It was sweet time with many ladies.

It was so awesome to see such sweet family Branscum, who visited Ukraine few years ago! Such a great blessing!We had such a lovely and wonderful fellowship during my stay there!


Also I met Kacirek family. So, so beautiful family... We had such a wonderful and lovely fellowship. Tina and Randy visited orphanages with us also and their charity Grace Haven Ministries helped BOM in several projects before.Mostly these precious kids are adopted from Ukraine. That`s why they are special for us :) It was amazing to see and hear what the Lord made in this family.


Such a pretty city


In Bentonville I visited the Walmart museum was so worth it and very educational! So, now I have idea what is Walmart ;) Ha ha!

What?! Adoption center for pets? I was greatly surprised to see it in pet store. It is so neat!We do not have adoption centers for pets. If you come to Ukraine, you will see on the street lots of dogs and cats. Everywhere. Hmm. I was curious to observe.

The lovely hospitality and love to Christ of Branscum family made me feel very sad and teary to leave Arkansas...I could not stop to cry for a long time. Craziness. Now I start do not like to say goodbye...

Then I flew to Texas. New adventures waited for me! :)

Such stunning view somewhere near Atlanta, Georgia...

Oh, yes, I flew to Dallas through biggest airport in Atlanta. I thought I would be lost. But Jesus is good and I made it! :)  It was fun!
I had to learn how to use these huge and many screenshots to find my next flight. Now I know. Ha ha!

The beauty of Dallas in the evening.

Texas! It was like another country for me! :)

A family took me to Fort Worth. It is so neat place!

Very old city, lots of interesting stores.

All kinds of stuff for cowboys. I think they can buy absolutely everything they need!

And pictures, pictures... A real bull

And real cowboys.

I love cowboys, western movies etc. One more my dream came true! To see real cowboys! lol. It was lots of fun!

                         

Oh, I ate fried pickles also!  It was kinda interesting.  I never thought you can fry pickles! It was fun.

The botanical garden is big and gorgeous!




Besides lots of fun in Texas, I had a privilege to share about BOM again.

In the beginning we had a furshet. And then my testimony and video about ministry.God was there! No doubts! It was blessed time. I am so and so thankful to dear friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, who made it possible!

The Reeves, such awesome family, with whom I was staying on the exact day we met 3 years ago in April, while they adopted a little princess!  Crazy right?!

And tears again...I cried like crazy one...Saying goodbye became such emotional moment for me. I did not want to leave Texas...Why it is so hard to say goodbye to beloved ones???Why?

I hope you enjoyed of this blog post :) My adventures in USA. To be continued... :)

Hello from America!!! :)

Only a week later I realized that I am in America!!! Really. I felt like I see a long sweet dream ;) I would love to thank you all for prayers!!! God is soooo good !!!!! The flight was great and I even did not get tired to get to U.S. The time changing was not a problem for me at all. Even it is 10 hours difference. So, I am doing great thank Jesus!God answered your prayers.I am so thankful to all!!! ♡

I stayed at California first. The family what is hosting me is so, so and sooooo very sweet and so very lovely!They treat me like a queen. Almost every day their love makes me teary and see the Lord's hand in every thing. I feel loved and greatly blessed by the Lord Jesus!!!

I made million pictures and videos. Ha ha! I'm so pretty excited to share with you few of them!

The garden of oranges. Never seen oranges on trees! ;)


San Bernardino County. The nature is gorgeous!


Big Bear Lake.So beautiful place!

My dream came true!!! I never thought it can be real one day!! I saw the ocean!!!!Yay!!!

The view is fantastic!


I love big waves!

Oops. This is what happens if you stay close to the waves. :) Yes, I was wet but excited!



One man made those statues of Bible heroes many years ago.Interesting.


 About 400 western movies were made at this old city.


 And Disneyland!Yay!
 

Joshua Tree National Park


The flowers are so pretty. Our God is such great Creator!


It was kinda interesting touch to cactus. The light some thorns are little soft but darker are hard.

Then I was posing to make a picture. And just in a moment thorns stuck into my hand!!! Oh, my! And at once I remembered the Warning I have read before. Do Not Touch! But crazy Ukrainian girl has broken the law. Lol. It was hurting a little.

The most hard part was I could not take it away!!!But that is not all. While I was trying take it away, the next bulb of thorns stuck to my foot!Haha! That was hilarious!!!! Thank God it was took away. It was bleeding a little. The bruises showed up next day on my hand and foot. I still have it.
Finally the bulb was taken away and thorns were much easier to pull it out. :)

 It reminds me that God many, many times warning us through the Bible. Warning, do not touch a sin, do not try to do it! If you do, you will be in big trouble! Oh, well. I had quite funny experience with cactuses in America. Haha! Good lesson! 



Amazing place!

God has been so and sooooo good in many ways! the Lord Jesus had a plan of my coming to America, no doubts. One generous man donated HUGE amount $$$! It amazed and made me teary. Seriously. BOM had so many different needs. Everything we could, it only pray.... When BOM got this huge donation I hardly kept tears... I could not believe!!! So, our current project Housing for Adults finally is over. Praise God!Thank you so much , who made it possible!!!Also we have funds to fix our van and so on and so on. Our Heavenly Father simply pouring out His love and blessings. This all makes me speechless...

I am sad to leave California. I had amazing time, I ever could think or dream. I love it! Tomorrow I am going to Arkansas,  then Texas, Kentucky and Michigan. 10 more flights wait for me. I very hope  my travels will be safe and great, same as when I arrived to America ;)

I would be very thankful you keep praying for my travels and me being in America. Thank you so much again!!! ♡
