Good Bye Ukraine!!! Helloooooo Alabama, USA!!!

Hello, this is James, and YES we are sooooooo excited about leaving in the morning. We can't wait to see everyone. We have missed all of you sooooo much. Thanks again for all the prayers that have continually gone up, they have been awesome, we can feel them everyday and many have been answered. They have gotten us through. We love all the support from home and most of all from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We realize everyday that it has been all about glorifying Him most of all. These babies are a living testimony to the true love of God for his little children. We know we have a big adventure ahead of us with them but with a Father like the One we have in Heaven, we will definetly be blessed through the good and the not so good times. He never said it would be easy. Just look at the life of Jesus when he was on the earth and what he had to endure just to save us. And he is the Son of God! Time left on this earth is soooo short. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and save you. Repent of your sins and live for Him only and not worldly things. Make him #1 in your life before it's too late and you wind up in Hell burning for all eternity. This world of sin and disobedience to God is not worth it, is it?

Ok, we packed most of the morning and tried to take a little nap but we were just too excited, especially the boys. Ben came by and he told them in Russian that they were going to America tomorrow and the first thing that Luke asked him was, Are there any kids in America? It was precious. These boys get soooooooo excited just riding in a car, brushing their teeth, mama cooking a meal, using an ink pen, putting on clothes we have for them, looking out the window at cars going by, going to a grocery store and picking out what meat or dinner stuff to buy, and oh yea, taking a bath. This after Penny decided to go ahead and give them their back packs we bought them, for the trip. Well it was like you and me winning the lottery. They were sooooooo funny, I wish I had the camera out but I already had packed it. Then we went to a little grocery store just down the street and we bought our final meal in Ukraine. Guess what it was. Frozen pizza, hotdogs, and ice cream. Hotdogs and ice cream being their favorite. The pizza was for mama and papa. Rick and Melissa met us at the park earlier and they got a call that their 3 little one's passports got finished. Please be praying for their speedy departure from here also.

Well, we have to go to bed now. We have to leave for the airport at 4 a.m. in the morning here. The good Lord willing, we will be arriving at the Birmingham airport at 4:30 p.m. We can't wait to see our mom's faces when they see the boys for the first time. Thanks again for all the blog comments you've made and all the support you have given us. I hope we will get to see each and everyone of you soon and show you what your obedience to the Lord accomplished. Two little orphan boys that lived a terrible life with their birth mom, even to the point that she neglected them so bad that their little sister passed away. The government came in and took the boys out of that situation and put them into an orphanage. Their birth mom never even came to visit them, no family at all, until now. Now they have a mama and a papa, our families, our church family, and all our friends, and oh yes, 2 crazy dogs. They are no longer orphans and their names are not Volva and Oleg, but Luke and Micah Holcombe. We love you all very much and can't wait to see you.
