Voice of Ukraine

From Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv (336th day of ruzzian invasion): We survived yet another massive missile strike today. The attack started at midnight with 24 kamikaze drones, then in the early morning, the drones were followed by 55 missiles. ALL 24 drones and 47 missiles were destroyed by our air defense. The missiles that were not shot by our defense caused further damage to infrastructure in a few regions, Kyiv region is among them, but so far we continue to have electricity by schedule like on previous days. We already learned to manage quite well when power cuts are predictable and according to the schedule. These massive missile strikes also have a pattern. They happen every 10-14 days. I am not sure that knowing that “schedule” helps us much. I guess we can at least mentally prepare to have more disruptions to our lives around that time.

I shared the other day how hard it is to get motivated to work on any future plans, even very short-term ones. There is this uncertainty of life amid a war that is discouraging for planning. But on the other hand, for anything to happen these days, you have to plan very intentionally and work hard to make it happen. So I am planning another trip to the States. I will be speaking at some Haggai events, and I will have a chance to see Danny. Just like with my first trip in Sep, I feel torn. I miss my son a lot; I want to hug him! But I know it won’t be easy to be away from the family, especially on the days like today.

My trip will be at the end of Feb, and Danny has a spring break in March, so I will have a chance to spend some focused time with him, hopefully in a warm and sunny place. It could be a whole week, but Briana will have a birthday in the middle of Danny’s spring break, and I can’t miss that! I would love to start counting the days to hugging Danny, but I am not sure yet when exactly he will be done with his exams, so our meeting day is still uncertain.

I will continue counting the days till spring – 34 days left…
