I have less than 1 month left and a lot is coming to perspective about what has happened. This could very well be my last month here in the United States, or a whole new chapter back home or else where.
Being almost 13 years here in the US has been rather sentimental in many ways because of so much of what defines me happened here. My spiritual formation took place in this country and flourished in ways that I never thought it would. I have seen a different side of God that has left me changed in so much of my convictions and my ways.
I now cannot imagine what would life be like if I had not come to the US. I would have missed out on one of the most fundamental development of my life. What many people misunderstood is that the opportunity that was given to me to come here is not about experiencing the thrills and fun of the US through going to school, as many people would tend to perceive back home. But what is more valuable is the unforeseen hardship that came my way, of which is the most invaluable ways how God revealed Himself to me.
I have been praying for God's leading lately and it has been rather confusing at times. Because things that seems to pop up to my attention are the ugly sides of my life in New York. So it is rather discouraging and challenging to think other wise about what has been going on.
