My world revolves around words and sentences. Five hours a day, four days a week my brain's soul job is to remember every French grammer rule, verb tenses and their conjugations, every word I've seen or heard over the last 5 months and somehow come up with a way to put ALL of that together and create sentences. But creating them in my head is not enough. Oh, no. I must speak them out loud.
I believe this may be the reason I have not been coming here to write much of late.
The truth is, my brain is exhausted. So is my body.
Some times at night I just cry because I can't get away from trying to formulate words and sentences for they permeate even my dreams. My brain is so overloaded that it can't even turn off at night.
I have so much bottled up inside of my heart. But I have a hard enough time right now remembering how to speak English that trying to express in words all that is on my heart... well that overwhelms me and I just can't right now.
I really want to use this space to share with people what is going on in my life as I work overseas. I want this space to be one that is filled with stories of real life, of Jesus, of trails and victories... and I do have many stories to share! I just don't have the words to share them right now.
Stick with me. And if you would, pray for me. Thanks, you're wonderful!
With love from France,
Nicole
