I mentioned my wonderful friends before, well they always give me food for thought. Unknowingly to them, they have started to kick something loose that was on my heart for a while already. For the past year I had searched the internet for online theology studies, but couldn't find anything that really spoke to me. And I forgot about it, I got wrap up in the day to day routines. My friends had told me about a missionary school they wanted to attend. I thought that would be a wonderful thing to do, how I wished I could go there as well ! Since my husband is not a christian, that sort of thing was not within my reach. But beeing a missionary was somehow in my heart. Even when I was a child I wanted to become a nurse and go into the world to help people. But, well, God seems to have different plans for me.....

My friends went to the globeeurope mission school. When they came back we emailed and my friend told me all about her wonderful stay there. It sounded great! So, one day when I had some time, I went to the globeeurope.org website and I was amazed !!!......I read a lot of it and I was really touched by some of the missionary reports and through some links for some strange reason I found a school to study theologie online! I am not sure anymore how that came about, but I am sure that God wanted me to find that school at this time in my life. I went to their website, it is called Global University, Berean University which is in Missouri with an office, wouldn't you know it, in Berlin!! And this website really, really spoke to me! It seems to have all I wanted ! After I went through their website and read a lot and prayed about it. I felt that I know what God wants me to do. I will take up studies to become a bibleteacher and will build up my mission field right here where I am! Germany is a rather unchristian place, Berlin is called the capital of atheism. So, if I go to school, I will be eventually well equipped with knowlegde which I can use to be of some help here in Berlin where the Lord placed me! Unfortunatly there are so many people who think that the bible doesn't have any relevance in todays life, but that is so wrong. I feel there is a need for people to explain some things in the bible, to give background info and make sure it is all taken in context . And in this way, hopefully, instill a desire for some people to read the bible for themselves!

So, I feel this my road now. I still have to meet with the counselor from the berlin office to talk through the details and money and such. But if it works the way I think, we may be able to afford it. My husband seems to think that I would have to take several courses at once, in which case we couldn't affort it. He also was a little discouraging and in great detail told me about all the time I would need to study and that it would be impossible to homeschool anyway if I did that. But he supports my idea. He just knows me and knows that I tend to overlook some things and get too involved and get my hopes up before knowing all the facts. He just wanted to make sure that I really understand all that is coming my way if I do persue this idea.
