Waiting

Waiting.

Have you ever felt like you were waiting for the unknown? The wait is so excruciatingly painful because you have no idea what could happen. You are in a line of one, no one is front or behind. You can hope and pray that the wait will be over soon because waiting is the worse part.

That describes my life right now. I am waiting for a sign of relief, of hope. What am I waiting for? For the french government to tell me whether or not I can stay in their country. It's the end and the beginning for me. The end of my student visa and the beginning of whatever else will come. Thinking of where I will be this coming year scares me. I have so few options because I have my heart set on staying in France. I want to help people here by creating a place where they can obtain information for learning english as well as connecting with the arts. My vision is to inform people and not force them to pay or struggle to gain knownlegde. I want to share my experiences of becoming culturally sensitive while finding my own cultural identity.

Everything I have learned up until this moment has been for a reason. I am writing a book of my experiences living among other cultures and finding my passion. I have been so inspired this last year with these projects. No matter what happens I know there is a great plan for me. I have faith that God will put all the pieces together.

For now I wait. I wait with hope and joy. Everything is for a reason and I know that God doesn't disappoint.
