I feel like I've been in the same weird mood for the past couple months. I just feel like I'm sort of floating around...trying to learn German, but not really succeeding, trying to make the most of everyday but feeling like I'm not really succeeding at that either. There are a lot of reasons why. I'm almost at my 10 month mark of living in Berlin, so that's really exciting! Yet there's definitely some homesickness in there as well. I'm still dealing with culture shock/fatigue. I'm tired of learning German. And the list can go on and on. But you know one thing that's really cool? I have Jesus in the midst of everything. Christ is my rock and my anchor. So even when my feelings are all over the place and I feel like I'm just sort of floating through life, I know that I can stand firm on Him. I can hold fast to His promises, knowing that He will keep me grounded no matter what is going on within me and around me. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground (my feelings, languages, culture, friendships, future) is sinking sand. Praise the Lord!
