From Atlanta to Abu Dhabi

Originally written as a blog during the early days of life abroad, this book weaves together personal stories of classroom challenges, family transitions, and quiet moments of doubt and hope. From navigating unfamiliar school systems to raising children far from extended family, each chapter explores what it truly means to step out in faith when certainty is nowhere to be found.

At its heart, this book is not just about teaching abroad or living overseas-it is about learning to trust God in seasons of disruption, growth, and transformation. Through moments of struggle and unexpected grace, the author reflects on how faith became both an anchor and a compass while building a new life in a foreign land.

This book is for:

• Teachers considering working abroad
• Families dreaming of (or already living) an international life
• Readers wrestling with big decisions and uncertainty
• Anyone seeking encouragement to trust God beyond their comfort zone

Whether you are contemplating a move overseas or simply navigating a season of change, this story offers reassurance that even when the path is unclear, you are never walking it alone.

Sometimes the greatest journeys are not measured in miles-but in faith.
