Sorry I have not written in a while. I guess the culture shock took over. I am still in the middle of it, but each day pray to love and respect people here.
Today I was at the grocery store, today seemed like a good culture day, but then the cashier asked me a question, I really could not hear her. She and the guy behind me began to giggle. It totally tick me off, I smiled and began to talk to them in english. Asking them how their english was and could they understand mr, it was an awkward moment. I wish I would not let things like that bother me so much. I know it's my pride, I need to let things like that go.
Please pray for me and my anger, it is not how I want to be defined. I pray that I would know my identity is in Jesus and I don't need to self protect. I am realizing that all my filter of defense have been strip away, it is a very hard place to be in, but a very good one. I can go to the throne of grace and have him fill me with his love and forgiveness. It is a place I would not choose but am grateful to be at.
