The Honeymoon Stage of Moving Here Has Ended
Sunday, October 5th, 2008 | Uncategorized
As in every relationship, every move (especially a move to a different country) has a honeymoon stage that eventually ends. That means that everything that I once thought was so wonderful and couldn’t be better, is now normal and sometimes annoying. At times it is a bit sad. The reality that I will be here for the next year without hopes of coming home until next summer is hitting me. I have to make do with this place. I have to make the most of it. I have to get used to that which I don’t always like and somehow make it work for me. As you can probably tell, I’m in process and it’s not always comfortable!
I feel poured out. God has asked me to go to a new place, feel the pain of leaving my home, feel the pain of not being used to a new place, feel the pain of being uncomfortable with a language in every encounter. It’s amazing how much God calls me to FEEL. Sometimes I don’t like it. Sometimes I want to hide and not face it. Sometimes I feel sad and I cannot be consoled. But this is reality and I know that I will be that much more closer to God as I go through it. I just wish it wasn’t so painful sometimes!
