Culture

As some of you know, I have moved back to Huntsville, Texas. 
It's been a huge TRANSITION. 


It's been hard dealing with some changes. While I was in Jordan, I was expecting a lot by coming back... but after my feet touched the soil of the USA, I found out that life has moved on... people have moved on... I have changed, just a lot of things. Coming back to a welcome week events, and meeting new people, seeing new faces was just too overwhelming. I didn't feel right about all this. 


But I knew I can go to some of the closest people I know here that I can trust, and be able to share my thoughts, my struggles, and my feelings to them. I am blessed to know that I have people around me that care and know how hard it can get to an international. But to clear it out, EVERYONE goes through this, and I know I am not alone in this. But there are a lot in my head that seems so hard to get it out in words. Moving to a new house, new classes, different atmosphere, it's just a LOT to grasp right now. 


I was reading something... and this is what I came across to. 


"The strain is the strength. Immediately you face the strain, you will get the strength. God never gives strength for to-morrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute." 


This quote has been in my mind for couple of days now ... and it's helping me to understand more about the tests we go through, the hills we go through... it's the matter of facing it.. and knowing that everything is going to be ok. He gives us the strength to deal with all this that goes on in our lives. I am trusting and believing that everything will fall into place. I just hope it's sooner that later. I really do. 

 I hope you can think of this and pray for me as I am trying to adjust back to the USA culture and dealing with all this. It might not seem like a big deal, but it is for me. So I highly appreciate your support. 

THank you for tuning in...
