It's my last year of college and the plan I had to graduate in the spring and begin student teaching next fall is no longer feasible. Confused and upset, my halfhearted prayers turned into a plea for God to reveal his plan in my life. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." These words in Jeremiah 29:11 are more than just words. It's a promise my heart clings to without a shadow of a doubt. I know without a doubt, however uncertain this next phase in my life may be, God's plan will prevail.
My plan suddenly seems mediocre...
In less than a week I will be stepping away from my plan and begin to follow where God's plan is leading. For the next year I will be working as a nanny for a German family with the cutest twins. As my home base will be in San Francisco, California, I will be traveling with the family all over the world to places such as Berlin, Germany and Sydney, Australia.
1...2...3... carry on...
So here I sit trying to fit my life in to 3 suitcases and a carry on. As the queen of shoes and one too many outfits, I am at a halt! HELP!!! Does anyone have any good packing tips they are willing to share? What sort of things should I pack? Any advise that could help me as I go about the next year?
Thoughts, comments, prayers....
Wow- this is going to be an awesome adventure! You will learn so much about the world and yourself. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAs for packing- try to back a few key articles of clothes that you can wear with different things. Maybe a favorite dress that can also be worn with leggings in the colder weather. Or a simple black cardigan that can be dressed up or down. And while jewelry might make an outfit, pack one or two favorites that goes with everything (same goes for shoes). You can always buy something if you end up needing it.
:) Enjoy your adventure!
