The Reason Why

It just occurred to me that I never blogged about why I have moved to Germany... So here it is, 10 posts later. I am an Aupair in Munich, Germany for those of you who did not know. I just graduated from the amazing TAMU in May and decided to take a year off. I plan to return back to the United States by next fall in hopes of attending nursing school. I will stay in Germany at least until this December, but it may be longer; stay posted :) I wanted to live abroad because of curiousity and to experience the presence and guidance of the Lord in an entirely new way. How I stumbled upon the idea of being an Aupair I will never really know. I never thought I would be bold enough to do this, and that's why I know there is a big reason why I am here. I was a busy little girl throughout college and I loved it, but I knew I could not keep living at that fast paced. My desire was to change the pace and place of my life with a new challenge of my faith. And I had to work with children! Had to! Had to because, children are the Light of the world. So here I am, and eagerly I welcome this once in a life time opportunity. I am constantly smiling and feeling thankful to God. I had so much encouragment from family and friends to come to the decision to AuPair. However, it was several months before I took action. I was timid in this process but prayer gave me confidence. The Lord's plan was much bigger than mine though, and His time was, of course, perfect. He brought me together with this beautiful family and He knows all the wonderful things we will be able to teach each other during this time. To Him I am thankful.
