Meet Natalia

I began blogging in 2009, when my family moved to central Mexico for a year. You can read about our excitements and our ever day moments living in Mexico at littlefamily6.wordpress.com.
Evenings spent sitting on the stiff white couch, watching the story of my days take shape on screen as I recounted our Mexican adventures became my routine, and I fell in love with blogging. We moved back to Chicago in June 2010, and I spent a full summer settling back into life in America, the idea of returning to blogging always at the back of my mind.
And in October 2010, in a moment of God-given inspiration, I logged onto WordPress, and Leadmewhere began.
In the years since that late-October day, this little internet space has seen me grow and develop, as God continues to show me how great He is, and how His plan for my life is so very beyond anything I could ever invent on my own. He is wise and loving and His grace is absolutely incomprehensible, and it takes my breath away to know that knowing Him only gets better.
So, stick around: He’s not nearly finished with me, and even in the mundane, this life is a whirlwind adventure to where He’s leading!
And now, a little bit about Natalia. You might already know this, as my heart has a habit of coming out in the words that I tell you and the pictures that I show you, but here are a couple things that I’m especially partial to:
My Family
Being a Swim Coach
Short-term Mission Trips
Looking for some pictures? I’m rather fond of the Life Right Now series, or, for a more European touch, the Paris Daily’s are a chronology of my family’s month in Paris. Finally, I spent Summer 2012 posting one instagram picture every day. For a snapshot into my summer days, check out the This is Summer series.
I’m glad you stopped by, and I hope you’ll stick around!

I just spent a while catching up on your blog. You are an amazing writer and your faith/willingness-to-share-faith is inspiring. I hope and pray my girls grow up to be like you.

Hi Natalia! I’m an MK from Papua, Indonesia, and I just got accepted to Moody for next school year. I’ve been reading Lead Me Where for a while, ever since I found the link on the Moody website. I’ve really enjoyed your blog, and the little everyday things that come out about Moody in your writing have been helpful. I’m a former swimmer/swim coach too, so it’s also fun hearing about your swimmers. Thanks for writing and maybe I’ll meet you next year!
