We Went to Germany and Here’s Why… | Our Story
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know that we went to Germany. We stayed with Mike’s Oma in a picturesque village overlooking the Alps, and we had the opportunity to visit so many historic buildings and see many of Mike’s family members.
Honestly, the entire visit was a dream come true and we are beyond thankful that we could go. While sharing our adventures in Germany, I had a lot of people ask how Mike and I met, and how he ended up in America. We sat down and recorded our story and I hope this answers your questions!

Beautiful testimony and love story...thank you Andrea and Mike, for sharing! I always love to hear how the Lord brings hearts to each other, and...to Himself...❤❤❤ SO heart warming... Blessings!
I LOVE that you say the change in both of you, was not a religion, but a relationship with Christ. Absolutely beautiful! ❤

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27 Biblical religion is a beautiful, God honoring thing. Not to be confused with man-made legalistic traditions.

@@marebear09 Amen to that. 😊
If more ppl understood it is the relationship- our world would be such a better place…TFS❤
I have tears in my eyes hearing about the depth of love and the measures that your Heavenly Father took for you to come to Him, Mike. He brought you over an ocean, to a completely different country so that you could learn about and receive Him. It’s just so astoundingly beautiful the way that He loves and brings His children to Himself with nothing held back. What a beautiful Savior!
He heard the word, he believed the word and he received the word . Amen.
I’ve been watching you for years and this story was NOT what I was expecting! What a beautiful story and it’s a lot like mine. I led my now husband to Jesus as a teenager and this Sunday we are celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary! I loved this and thank you for sharing it. ❤

What an inspiration you and your husband are! God bless you both! ❤️
What a beautiful story, Andrea! My husband and I have been married for 46 years and our story is a lot like yours. My dad was a Baptist preacher and preached up to the week before he passed away at 91. My parents reacted to Jack pretty much the same way your parents reacted to Mike because he was not raised in church. After a lot of prayer from my mom and dad, Jack was saved under the preaching of Billy Graham. And needless to say my parents were thrilled!! Of course he became active in the church and still is today. The bible tells us that God works in mysterious ways. I truly believe He brought us together even though we lived totally different lives. He's my best friend and I couldn't imagine my life without him. Sorry this is so long but I was surprised at how much we have in common with how things turned out for us. 😍😇❤❤

What a “once upon a time” fairytale. Prince Charming truly gets his Princess and they live happily ever after. This is such a sweet, sweet story and it touched my heart immensely! I’m actually crying tears of joy for you both. 🙏🏼💖

Incredible story! Thank you for sharing it! So fun to have Mike in the video with you! Blessings!
God certainly knew what he was doing when he brought you two together. I love that you give all the credit and glory to God. I love your story! My husband and I started "liking" each other in the 9th grade. We dated all throughout high school and have been married for 43+ years. We have 2 sons and now have 6 grandchildren. We have so many memories of "growing up" together. God is the center of our lives. I followed all your stories on IG while you were in Germany. I will probably never get to go to Germany so I really enjoyed all the photos you shared. Thank you Mike for being on the video. You are an amazing man of God and I can see why Andrea fell in love with you. And of course, it is evident why you fell in love with Andrea. God is so good! “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

My heart is full and overflowing with hearing yours and Mikes testimony. There are tears of joy for what God has done in your lives. When I look at Mike I see a humble man with peace. Thank you for sharing. Your story reminds me a bit of mine as my husband is my high school sweetheart too. And I told the Lord that he was the man I wanted to marry. Well I know we don’t get to tell the Lord what we want and expect Him to bless it unless it’s His will. God is so good and has done so much in our lives and in our grown children’s lives. Our youngest son was far from God and into drugs and women but God has brought him back full circle and he married a beautiful Christian Woman a year ago in March and they are now expecting a new baby in July. And one of the best miracles is that he is now an assistant pastor. 😅God bless you and your family. ❤❤

Wow what an amazing story I have three sons, only one has given his life to the Lord, I pray daily for my other two sons, I want them to love the Lord and see them in heaven when the time comes. God bless xxx
You guys are the cutest couple and still in love after 20 years and 4 children later, that is awesome. I’m born and raised in Germany 🇩🇪 and met my husband as an American Soldier stationed in Bamberg , got married and lived there for 5 years after his tour in the Army ended and had 3 daughters. By then my husband was itching to go back to the States and we packed up kid and caboodle and moved back to his hometown in Massachusetts, that was 40 years ago. We had one more Daughter in 1985 . I’m soooo happy that you are taking a trip to Germany, you will love 💕 the country, the people and the food . It will be a very special experience . I left my whole family behind 40 years ago and love going back for visits . Thank you for sharing your story, I very much enjoyed it
What a coincidence! I'm a German viewer and I'm very happy that you paid a visit to my homeland! And you tell us about your wonderful love story. All the best to you both for the future!

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It brought me to tears. My husband grew up in Austria, and moved to the states when he was 14. He also speaks fluent German, and we are trying to teach it to our four children. Only God can write such amazing stories bringing people together like He does, and build such amazing marriages.
Your relationship was meant to be. What a most beautiful and incredible journey, and it isn't over...

This is by far my absolute FAVORITE video of yours! God’s redeeming love is the best love story! Thank you for sharing and being a blessing to me today.
My sister-in-law is from Germany, and many of her family are still there. I am so thankful that God has given you and your family the ability to experience this journey.
That is the sweetest, loveliest story I’ve heard in a long time. May you and your family continue to experience the awesome grace and love of our Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Thank you both for sharing. ❤
I love this Andrea - my husband and I also sat together on a bus when we were College students traveling to our respective schools during our practical teaching blocks. For five weeks we chatted about everything, became best mates, and ultimately fell in love. That was almost 37 years ago 😊- your trip looked wonderful and so special. Thanks for sharing your journey.
You guys are so sweet together. We lived in Germany as service members and it was the most beautiful place . I hope to get back again one day. Giving God the glory for finding each other. How wonderful.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's amazing how God has delivered you both. You both are beautiful examples for your son's, and rearing them in God will prepare them to be wonderful young men. What a legacy ❤
What a beautiful story. I was nearly in tears! Your romance, his salvation, the transformation in Maik. God is so good. Bless you both and thanks for sharing.
My husband is an immigrant, too. He came when he was 4 years old when he came to America from Fiji. My dad came to America when he was 14 from Portugal. I went to the Azores in 2019 with my family it was a dream come true. I'm so happy for the both of you! One day we will go to Fiji.
Thank you for sharing your love story and the greatest love story of Christ's love. I am all teary eyed. Your family is beautiful. Praise God.
Such a beautiful love story Andrea and Mike. ❤️ God does work in mysterious ways doesn’t He? I love that you both sat down to record this video together. What a beautiful piece to look back on and for your boys to see one day. Makes me teary eyed 🥹. May God continue to bless your marriage and family. Love you all! All the way from Hawaii!!! ❤🌴🌺🌊☀️🌈

How sweet and what a wonderful story! 💗
I couldn’t love this video more! What a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Your story is a precious one and we are blessed that you allowed us behind the scenes to see how good God has been to you both. Your story could have gone very differently had you rebelled against your parent's wishes and carried on a relationship with Mike without them knowing. Praise be to the Father, you did not. And because of the honor and respect you held, He blessed you both with a beautiful love, marriage, and family. God is good. Always!
What a beautiful story!! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing. Love you and your family
Great Story, happy you shared that part of your life.
Thank you so sharing your story.

My parents met in Germany, my mom is from Canada but got stuck in Germany while visiting grandparents and then the war broke out. My dad was from the states and was in the army and was sent to Germany to stop the Nazis. They met in Stuttgart, came back to Canada got married and then moved back to the states and then 10 years later moved back to Canada.
So sweet! What a wonderful testimony! God bless!
