But I have enjoyed reading these glimpses of your life. I read this post and wanted to let you know that it resonated with me. 8 years ago I was in the US for 17 months trying to recover from burnout/depression. During that time I so identified with your feeling of being where I had grown up and having no close friends. That is painful! Two years later I moved back to the US after 18 years overseas. I remember meeting a couple who had been back for about 7 years after 20 years overseas. When I told them that I'd been back about 6 weeks, they gave me a knowing look and said, "Oh, you are experiencing all kinds of things." He went on to tell me that about 2 years after their return to the US someone told him that it takes 3 years to adjust, "and it is better to know that up front." I made it through those 3 years, with the first two being the most difficult. <br /><br />Also, if there is an Aldi where you live, they have only one brand of ketchup and everything else.

Love you (which seems a little weird since I've only met you in person once). I will be praying more specifically for you. Please do not adjust to Western culture but teach us how to adjust to letting go of all we have and trusting God.<br />KandiUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917017984882005997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220373833294758704.post-4028260405273051502016-07-30T15:17:17.167-07:002016-07-30T15:17:17.167-07:00I don't even know what to write.

I somehow feel connected with your recent/present struggles. Just wanted to let you know that your posts make a difference! May God give you peace and joy.Carolinehttp://www.alongajornada.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220373833294758704.post-39416695810917605382016-07-30T05:35:31.029-07:002016-07-30T05:35:31.029-07:00Thank you for sharing this.
