Though I was told it would take a little bit of time to adjust to living in a new country, I didn’t understand that reality until I arrived. From finding a car, navigating banking, insurance, finding an apartment and buying the essentials, to buying a water purifying system so I can have safe drinking water. Those are the practical things but then there’s the emotional and mental adjustments that I am walking through from no longer having deep friendships in my daily life, to driving on the other side of the road, to navigating church life, to seeing SO much poverty, to
learning where to buy groceries, to understanding that it’s important to be less direct in the indirect culture that I am in, to finding a gym and ultimately creating new rhythms, it’s been a lot to process. Though I’ve had guidance, there is still a lot that I must do alone. I told someone recently that any ounce of courage that others may see is evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work in me. On my own, I am not brave. Praise the Lord for giving me boldness!
It’s impossible to share completely all that I am experiencing and all the ministry opportunities before me, however my hope is to give you a snapshot of my life and how I am daily experiencing the Lord’s generosity
