Things have been pretty quiet since the Mercy Trucks rolled
out of Krivoy Rog. Over the past couple
of weeks many of us have been catching up with ourselves with some much needed
rest. As a thank you for helping out
with the Mercy Trucks project we had a couple of days where some of the people
who helped out were taken to the beach for some relaxation. I have also been able to tag along with Lena
T. to the kids Rehab Centre on her Saturday programme. It's always so great to spend time with the
kids there.
Other than that I have been starting to tie up loose ends
here as in about a week I'll be on the move again as I'm going to Kyrgyzstan
for 2 months. I am a little sad to leave
Ukraine but
happy to get to Kyrgyzstan. In a couple of weeks a team from my church in
Canada will be
arriving in Tokmok to help out with things there. It is going to be awesome!
A couple of blog entries ago I mentioned that I would have
to make some very hard decisions in the next few months about my life "on
the road." Well...basically it all
boils down to resources. Unless
something big happens, when I come back to Ukraine
in November I will not be able to sponsor any activities or needs as I will
only have enough grocery money for a short time. (I guess it's time to lose that extra 30
Lbs...lol.) As it is, I will not be able
to do much when I'm in Kyrgyzstan
on this trip because of this.
What many people don't realize is that I don't get a salary
from LinK 127. LinK 127 just facilitates
a way of refunding expenses to me by whatever amount is donated for me. Any money that I use to help sponsor needs
and activities comes from my own funds and now these funds are almost running
out. And because I'm a foreigner I am
not able to get a job here. When the
funds are gone, I will have to give up everything, go back to Canada
and get some kind of a job with the possibility of never being able to come
back again. Needless to say I am quite
concerned about this as I really have no life in Canada
to go back to anymore. It would be very
hard living there now with my heart over here any ways.
Even though I'm concerned I also have this peace knowing
that I have been called to this work and I am not aware yet of any new calling
to move on to something else with my life.
I am really believing for a miracle to be able to continue the work here. As several people have reminded me when I was
in Canada: "God's will...God's bill." So now it's the part where I have to wait and
see what happens. I don't really feel
comfortable talking about this but as a missionary friend of mine who is in the
same boat said recently: ""if
we don't say anything how would you know?
James 4:2 says " you do not have because you do not ask."" So now you know, and I am asking. Would you please consider helping me to
continue to show love to orphans, seniors, the disabled and anyone else who
really needs to see God's love in action?
To help me to continue the work here you can click the link
on the right side of the blog for LinK 127 to donate on line. If you wish you can set up a monthly
sponsorship there as well. Please
remember to specify that your gift is for me and what you may like me to use
the gift for. You can also mail a
donation to the address below or send an e-transfer to
blairslife1@gmail.com. Canadian
donations are tax deductible (but not those by e-transfer.) Every dollar counts!
Please continue to pray for me. Thank you for seeing my heart. Till next time... Я люблю тебя!
Happy Independence Day Ukraine!!!
