Here's the skinny

Leaving the KTM airport

Here's the skinny,

I’m living in America…for now.

I would love to sit down and write a thoughtful and meaningfull post about the process and journey God has taken me on to get me to America but I can’t. To write such a post would require thought, introspection and coming to terms with the fact that I have indeed left Nepal. To be honest with you I’m not ready to do that just yet. Yes, I’m avoiding the floodgate of emotions that will open. Right now, I’m just trying to deal with entering back into America….trust me when I tell you reverse culture shock has me dealing with enough emotion as it is.

So here is the skinny,

I have officially taken a leave of absence with the company that I was working for. Basically what that means is that I have two years to decide to continue working for them. I’ve not been fired nor did I quit. I’m sort of somewhere in-between.

My current plan is to complete my Masters of Theology degree.

Because I only took a leave of absence the company I worked for gave me two months of insurance. The past four weeks have been spent going to the DR, the dentist, the chiropractor, and a few others. Incase you were wondering I am cavity free and when I fell off my table trying to change a light bulb last year I managed to fracture my pelvis. I knew my lower back hurt for a reason!

Although I have some tentative plans I feel like God is currently telling me to wait and be quite. I wish I knew the next move, but I don’t. I wish I could give easy answers to easy questions such as “how long will you be in America?” but I can’t. I’m trying my best to be patient and allow God to show me the next step.
