If you’ve been following this series, the new to me stuff I’m encountering in Germany, you might have noticed that over the last few weeks, the tone of my posts has started to change. At first, the differences were overwhelming and bewildering, then slowly, as those things became familiar, the other new things began to shine. I believe this is because, at first, any type of comfort zone had been stripped away. 

It’s one thing to know that everything in life changes except for the God I so believe in. It’s another to walk a road where almost nothing is familiar. I say almost nothing because my husband and I walked this road together. Yet at the same time, both of us were off balance and so neither of us proved perfect supports as we adjusted. So, we prayed, and prayed, and prayed some more as each day we stumbled to figure stuff out. 

And God proved faithful. I can see His hand in the wonderful landlord we ended up with or the complete stranger willing to explain the tomato items in the grocery store. I can see Him even in the car salesman who sold us Squeak, our mini,—he’s now our go-to guy if we need car repairs—and I can see Him in the vet we found for the Sidekick. 

In the midst of it, the discomfort seemed to overshadow the provision. It was hard to see how each step was leading along His care. But in hindsight, as always, I can see it. Maybe you don’t believe in such a God who works in the small details of life. That’s okay. This post is just as much for me as it is for anyone else because I’m a forgetful person, and this serves as a reminder so that next time I’m off balance, I can remember how it all worked out. Such reminders are good for my faith.

My balance is returning and with it, my ability to appreciate the amazing things around me. I used to post what I called ALT posts. They were All the Little Things that inspired me. I’m going to shift back into those because wow, there is soooo much here to inspire, and I’m excited to share. =)

Blessings,

Jennifer
