Happy New Year!
There is much to be thankful for in this past year and much to look forward to in this new year.
Some things I am really excited about for 2011 are:
- a full year of marriage (as opposed to half in 2010) and getting to know Felix more and more
- seeing my nieces (two I have not met!)
- skiing with the Kidd and Ring family (sadly only parts of both)
- celebrating one year of being married in June
- time with my sisters this summer
- growing closer to the Lord
- developing relationships with people here
- watching my students learn and grow

I am excited to see what God will do and what all we will experience in this new year, 2011.
Happy New Year, everyone! May the Lord richly bless you!!

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep.
