Welcome!

Hey, everybody!  Welcome to my new blog!  A family I know has given me the opportunity to come to India with them so that I can be a nanny for their three kids.  I'll be staying with them for six months.  This blog is where I'll be sharing my pictures, experiences, thoughts, prayer requests, and stories. 

   I've never done anything like this before.  I've never been away from my home for a whole month, let alone six.  This is going to be a stiff challenge in lots of ways.  I know there will be times when I'll want to give up.  And yet, I feel that God has tailor-made this opportunity for me.  I've seen how He's gone before me to prepare the way.  He wants me to go, I feel sure of that.  So I know He has got everything under control and He won't send anything my way that He won't help me conquer.  I want to do this.  I want to step out and try new things.  I want to be a servant, to pour my heart into these kids and be a godly example to them.  In short, I want to give God everything I've got, and I want to finish well for His glory alone. 

   So friends, please keep me in your prayers.  Pray that all the packing details will go smoothly.  There is so much I've got to fit into a few suitcases, and I need wisdom and presence of mind as I deal with these details.  Also, pray that the Lord will give me courage, so that I will not be afraid of all the things that have to be done. 

   Those are the main ones for now.  So!  Feel free to follow me in my new adventures across the world!  Into India I go!
