The BIG Week

Well the wedding is almost here. 4 days and counting. We ask for your prayers as many last minute details are made. Pray away the possible stress that could so easily come upon Aubrey and Nick and both of our families. Please pray for journey mercies for everyone who will be traveling here to celebrate with us.
I have a very special request aside from the wedding. My youngest sister Laura and her husband Greg will travel here for the wedding from California and will arrive on Tuesday. The morning after the wedding they will board a plane in St. Louis and fly to Russia to meet their new child. Please pray for them in every way that Holy Spirit leads you to pray. They need encouragement, assurance, safety, and favor at every stop, and most of all, that they will recognize the child God has intended for them to have from the beginning. Please pray that this experience will not contain any dread or fear, but every decision will be God-led. That they will embrace this journey God has chosen for them to take. And that they will see His hand and feel His hand upon them every second. They will return to the United States without their baby and will have to travel back to Russia in 3 months to bring their child home to be with them forever. Pray a special comfort, that can only come from the Lord, as they have to walk away and leave Russia with empty arms. Please pray that the next three months will be spent with great excitement as they prepare to have their child home with them.I thank you all VERY much for all your prayers, love and concern you show our family. We love you all. the next post should have LOTS of pictures of the weeks events. Love ya, Vickie
