Missions for Nannies

This afternoon I submitted my application form for Mission Nannies.

Mission Nannies is a organization where nannies are sent all across the world to help Missionary families homeschool, babysit, and help with the household for a certain period of time. Room and board is covered by the family, but everything else is volunteer. The application asks that you list three families (that have been posted) that you are interested in helping. I listed a family in British Columbia, a family in Baja, California, and a family in Honduras. Once accepted by the organization they choose one family and help you get into contact with that family. From there, you decide if you are a right fit for the family. Three months is the minimum amount of time that the organization asks you to stay, but if the family would like you to stay longer and you agree, than that can happen as well. 

Now the waiting game begins. 

Many people have asked me lately what the future looks like for me. To be perfectly honest, I don't what it will be. I don't even know if this opportunity will work out or not. Am I worried? Yes, slightly. 

But God knows exactly what is in store for me. 

So really, I shouldn't be worried. Yes, I need to be actively looking and searching for job opportunities and experiences that I can apply for, but at the end of the day God's got it. Deciding to not get my credential after graduation was a hard decision for me. But I believe that it is the right choice in my life right now. And I know wholeheartedly that God will see me through. He always does. And He always will. 

So now, I have a Creamy Alfredo pasta jar with a sign on it that says "The Future." That future may be British Columbia, it may be Mexico, and it may be Honduras. But it may not be. It may be San Diego, it may be Montana, and it may just be Riverside, California, but whatever it may be, God knows. So every time I babysit or earn extra money a little bit of those earnings are going in "the future" jar. Because being proactive, God likes that. Having faith, God likes that even more. And a little hard work goes a long way too. 

Happy New Years everybody :)
