Alpine-German Speaking Mission

 

[Old Town, Alexandria]

To say that I love it here would be an understatement.

The brick buildings remind me so much of my travels abroad & how much I miss adventures.

Being a California girl at heart, I never thought I'd have the chance to live on the east coast, especially DC - this was the last place I thought I'd end up!

But here I am, growing in love with my husband, trying to make new friends,

working full time, exploring new hobbies, learning how to be alone (away from family/friends)

& understanding that this exactly what the Lord had in store for me.

 

February 2014 was the month I was supposed to come home from serving a

mission in the Alpine-German Speaking Mission.

It seems surreal that 18 months ago I postponed/deferred from serving to take a leap

of faith in another direction -- the completely opposite direction -- because

something wouldn't let me say goodbye.

Deep down in the depths of my heart, I knew (without a doubt) that Adam would be the one.

 Even though it wasn't a picture perfect love story,

 it was real & it was worth it.

Looking back, I cannot believe how that tiny ounce of faith has turned into blessing after blessing.
Missions allow growth but so does marriage
- a similar but different kind of growth.
So listen to your heart because I am so grateful I did.

& I relied on my Father in heaven. He was there every step of the way.

He continues to remind me that He knows me, loves me & wants me to turn to Him.

I know He wants the same for you.
