Wow...what a powerful verse to remember as you embark on this amazing journey. A sense of peace and calm washed over me as soon as I opened your blog.
Ana, you are an amazing person and your faith is contagious (in a good way of course!!). I'm absolutely thrilled that you're leaving in just over 12 hours and am so looking forward to reading a post that says you're writing from Moscow!
Prayers, well wishes and many, many HUGS are being sent your way today and for the next 7 days!
God bless!!
Our thoughts and prayers are traveling with you! Can't wait to read your news. Lori
Have a safe trip
Many Blessings are being prayed for you! Have a wonderful week!
