As I adjust to many of the little nuances of life in this
land, I have become increasingly comfortable here. Not every activity is a
challenge for me now, and I have friends to help me out along the way if I have
any questions. I am learning to take a place of “not knowing.” I am used to
knowing what is going on around me, or at least being able to figure out what
is happening. VERY often I find myself thinking “I have no clue what is
happening right now. All I hear is LOUD NOISES!” It is a place of dependence
and faith. I have learned that my best and most comforting “go-to” option when
this happens is straight to prayer.
