Hi,
It's me. The one who spent all summer with anxiety attacks because I was going to travel to France and teach for a year. Well, I am writing from France now. I first want to thank you all for prayers. I was dreading the flight and the airport hassel and it all passed rather quickly. I really felt that God was sustaining me and helping me through.
I've been here for a few days and reality is starting to hit. By reality I mean anxiety. I am living with a host family and will start work next week but there's a lot I have to figure out on my own and I'm starting to panic again.
I was feeling fine despite the jetlag the first couple days but now that I'm settling in, I realize where I am and what I'm doing. Today over dinner I had a sudden urge to go in my room and cry. The family is nice and open and if there's a problem I should just tell them but I feel like I still need to get comfortable with them and used to this new life.
We are going on a weekend trip together and I'm a bit scared. Please keep me in your prayers.
God has been faithful so far and I know that He will continue to be. Please pray for peace and strength.

I've said a prayer for you MyAllinAll. New situations can be really tough and can bring a lot of unease, but perhaps over time you'll be able to open up to growth through this experience. Maybe it'll be a victory over anxiety. Maybe you could even discuss how you feel with the host family? Sometimes it's relieving just to know that someone understands you and supports you.

God is always with you, whether you're at home or someplace new. And His strength is made perfect in your weakness!
