transitions

I am amazed constantly at people’s durability. Here I am, struggling to get “settled” in a new city, new house, by myself, yet I go to work with 16 other interns and 40 others who are going overseas very soon during training week, and we are mostly in the same boat..It’s been a while since I wrote on my blog, maybe I need more encouragement through “comments”, hehe, but the truth is because I have been either too busy or decided to commit more to personal emails. But I want to freeze this moment and remember that during this transition phase, here are a couple of things that I can praise God for and feel completely blessed:

1. The ex-military elderly man who gave me directions around this neighborhood yesterday, who started comforting me and giving advice on overcoming homesickness (he was very intuitive)

2. Fellow co-interns and everyone else in the entire organization that clearly shares and articulates my faith and belief in social justice

3. Friends scattered around the east coast, who are undergoing post-graduation blues too.

4. The fact that once I stopped self-pitying, I realized how much need there is in the people around me..and how much I can also relate to them due to this greater humility that I have during this period.
