GERMANY

Over the spring we knew we would be getting stationed in Germany. thankfully I guess we have had time to sit and think about what will come the following year. Now that the end of year is almost over we are kind of preparing for the move. Its not easy with them keeping us in the dark about specifics. paper work has to be filed and sent up, approved, kids need screening, passports need to be made, the list goes on and on..

So here are some of the battles I have with-in myself at this time:

• I am excited - a new adventure
• I am scared  - not knowing much of the language
• I am Happy - that I will finally meet my older sister Judith
• I am fearful - of how my kids will handle such a different life-style
• I am over joy ed - in thought, that I will see places I've only seen in movies and pictures
• I am stressed - over the finance of it all

I am half in it - and half way not 

I see my list of pros and cons but either way I see it..(gotta stay positive)

I'm lucky, I have a brother and sister there, I have two healthy boys, I have a husband who welcomes any adventure, and I already know of family members who are saving up to come visit.

I worry and I stress over the littlest and dumbest things (I'm sure)

such as, what do we take, what do we sell, what do we leave behind?

I am thankful for being an America, my home sweet home and I am indulging all that I have now and know I wont have there, such as a cell phone with the same number that I've had for years, dvr and comcast that I can watch my shows right away. Internet that I know how to fix and download stuff from, I am grateful that I can drive across country to see family when allowed. I am so many things.

I'm thinking that God, has given us an opportunity to live simple lives, its okay to not have all the technology your used to, all the comfort that America gives us, As long as I have Him and the boys of my life. He will carry us, He will show us the world in a different light. He is teaching me something, I never knew I needed.

I am no stranger to foreign land, I've traveled to many places: Mexico, Canada, Aruba, Costa Rica to name a few and of course, across many state lines of my home land. Just never lived out side of America. So I guess its time for me to take it all in, look on the bright side. 

 After all God created this world for all to enjoy, . so I guess its time to sit back and let God take the Wheel, and flow with the Adventures that he planned just for me ;)
