Just had to remind myself of that.
What a hard week it has been.
I have been waiting for it to happen. Not sure how wise it is to actually wait for culture shock.
But I knew that it was in store for me at some point, let’s just say I was expecting it sooner or later.
Preferred Never. Didn’t actually have a choice though.
Because it is here. I feel it’s sensations gripping my already over hormonal body. Making that already hormonal body extra tired. A little sad. A bit overwhelmed. A hint of lonliness, and a trace of confusion fills my heart. Sigh. I choke back a few tears, and press on. For the first time, I found myself wanting to be back in the USA. Not forever. Just a short stay, cruise Target, embrace my favorite people, go to church, feel human again… possibly take a bath?
I have to admit that being pregnant AND being a bit sickly pregnant AND being in a different country is taking a bit out of me. I am wading through this all, and I need God to sustain me. And I need your prayers.
I know that culture shock won’t stay forever. I just have to get through it.
Praying for ya!!! I am sure it is hard…I pray that the Lord will bring you comfort and strength and joy!
i miss you Cari. Hold on to everything the Lord said to you before you left, pour into your family – they are the same in every country, find a prayer closet and get quiet – He will meet you and fill you with everything you need, and pray over your new little one…he/she represents new life growing in you belly.
i love you.
