Transiting 

Going Home is making all sorts of thoughts and emotions in me. I’m excited yet scared. Happy yet nervous. It’s home, yet it wasn’t for the last 2 years. I’ve adapted, changed. Gotten used to living in the States. Adapting back to my own culture will be hard.

It’s always easier to adapt to a different culture other than your own. No one expects you to get it that fast, it’s ok to make mistakes. Going back to your culture, however, is different. You’re expected to know it so well, to be able to live in it and “perform” it well. Mistakes aren’t dismissed as lightly.

I need to be prepared and alert. I need to make a real conscience effort to reintegrate into my own culture. Above all, I need the help of the Lord to help me in this latest transition in my life. I feel as though I am always In Transit, changing from one thing to another. I’m looking forward to the day when I finally arrive at my destination and just rest.
