It`s such encouragement to have those, who stay with you in prayer!It`s such great blessing to see and feel God`s love through your support!I`m so thankful for your prayers, dear our friends!It means more than you may think...
I don't know from what to begin and I do not know how to you to explain everything about court...
The court passed not well... Everything became against us. All arguments and facts that I gave last time, didn't help though are proved and it enough facts and justifications. Even evidence of witnesses that came this time, the judge didn't consider, as she asked me lead them before. Everything was somehow very strange, absolutely all another. I wasn't ready to such action and eventually simply became lost. Everything pressed on me... I was ready to cry hardly constraining tears.
Eventually the judge found our mother guilty (though there is no proof), and awarded to pay to neighbors the huge sum of money. I explained to the judge that not mother and not we have such huge money. Everything was arranged, so at me simply didn't remain a choice, as to give a land to neighbors... The land where I would like and dreamed to build a home to homeless teenagers, where they could to find support, care and love...The land I gave to the Lord with all my heart and such joy, it seems that we lose.I do not know...I do not know why it happens...
Everything is so difficult and confused. I still can't understand some things. If last time we had all possibilities to win court, this time all on - to another and wasn't any hope. Friends, everything is difficult so much...

Having come home I cried all the time. It is hurts. Tears. Bitterness. In total as that is strange and it is not clear.It was so heartbreaking because of orphans...Because we love them dearly and dream they have bright future and roof over their head.
I choose the way as Apostol Paul says:
"Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?" (1 Corinthians 6:7)
"Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?" (1 Corinthians 6:7)
Jesus said:
"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also." (Matthew 5:39-40)
I tired from this case...and want that everything will finish. Lord Jesus called me minister to orphaned children.So, I want to do His will, what brings me such light and pure joy, perfect peace, many amazing blessings and happiness.
We live in sinful world and God lets evil come to our lives.We meet injustice...I feel sad at these days, but life goes.I have to trust to the Lord, "that all things work together for good"...
Job said:
"the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD". (Job 1:21)
I am so very sorry. Can you appeal this judge's decision? Do you have a lawyer to help you? I don't understand how the court system works in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I hope a way will be found to help you fulfill your dream of opening a shelter for orphaned teens. You are a blessing to so many people...and you are in my prayers.

Yes, I can appeal this judge's decision.But! The situation is such, that if I would do it, I can lose a testimony as Christian.It will become worst.As Bible says "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold." Proverbs 22:1
DeleteThank you for thinking and praying about us!
So sorry Alla. Praying for you to rest upon the Lord and for there to be beauty from ashes.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to you!Oh, yes. We need many prayers but not just these days.But all time.
DeleteAlla,
ReplyDeletePsalm 84:11b that "no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly".
If the all powerful, all wise God who is OUR God has chosen to to take the land and give it to someone else, rejoice! Did you not give it to Him? He seems to have decided, according to the Psalm, to plan for you a better way to help the orphans. Who knows what He has in mind? He loves you enough to take away even the *good* things, the *special* things, even your family's land (your mother's land), so He can do a *better* work! Note that I didn't say an *easier* work, but a *better* work that will get Him more glory. We can trust His promises.
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? *thou* hast the words of eternal life.
With love in Christ,
The Kissell Family
Oh, dear friends, your words made me cry.Thanks a lot!!!
DeleteSo sorry for your loss. Your dream is my dream. I pray the Lord still makes a way for orphans to have a roof over their heads. God knows your heart. He is with you and so are your friends. much love and much peace is my prayer for you. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie!You are so sweet!Blessings to you!
DeletePraying for you Alla. May the Lord give you the grace to just trust Him and rest in knowing that this didn't catch Him by suprise. It may seem that for a time the enemy has the victory, but dear sister dont believe that. God is the victorious One! While we cant see with our eyes the victory, we know that in everything He is working for the good of those who love Him...even painful circumstances. Praying for you and thank you for letting us know. ~Trina S.
ReplyDeleteDear Trina, many thanks for your such nice encouragement! Hugs and love to you!
DeleteSo sorry it went badly. "All things work together for good to them that love God." I pray somehow this will work for good even though you cannot see how at this time.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Hope!Your prayers so appreciate!!
Delete35 Может ли кто разлучить нас с любовью Христовой? Нет! Может ли горе, или даже смерть, разлучить нас с любовью Христовой? Нет! Могут ли горе, беда, преследования, голод, холод, опасность или даже смерть разлучить нас с любовью Христовой? Нет! 36 Как сказано в Писании:
ReplyDelete«За Тебя мы ежедневно подвергаемся смертельной опасности;
нас считают овцами, обречёнными на заклание».
37 Тем не менее, во всём этом мы празднуем славную победу, благодаря Богу, Который любит нас. 38 Я убеждён, что ни жизнь, ни смерть, ни Ангелы, ни духи высшие, ничто в настоящем и ничто в будущем, 39 ни силы, ничто над нами и ничто под нами, и ничто другое в целом мире не смогут отнять у нас любви Божьей, воплощённой во Христе Иисусе, Господе нашем
Thank you so much!
DeleteDear Alla,
ReplyDeleteWe know God has another plan. We love you. We keep you in our prayers. Please keep us in yours! Peace be with you.
Love, The Duffys
Oh, thank you a lot!Yes, we trust the Lord.It`s only one thing we can do now.Praying for you too!Hugs and love.
