This is based on me. To want to move for me was very much an overtaking urge. I can't explain why I wanted to move so much. But, then you do what you want to do, and it's not easy... especially for someone who has lived in the same house their whole life and never moving anywhere with parents, let alone move out on own, and then to not move to a different town or a different state, but a different country.. and not a neighboring country that's a only short distance, but across a big ocean, and a country with different culture.
I've definately at times during these last couple months, wondered, should I come back to New Jersey where things will be easier, and won't make my bank account go bust. Job searching every day is very exhausting and frustrating when you know your doing everything you can.. walking for hours on end into places of business, writing tedious cover letters, applying on the Internet & email, phoning up when over here even local calls cost money, etc etc etc.
But, I prayed to Jehovah numerous times about needing work, and tried to do all I could with finding work, and tried to hang in there for just awhile longer, because I would never be able to take advantage of the opportunity again. This is time I am single, and this is the time to do it. And, after 2 months of worrying, I've been payed off, because I got a call today from one employer that they've hired me. I was so pleased that I thanked Jehovah in tearful prayer.
Eventually, I'll hafta go back to the States, but so happy that I'll get this brief experience anyway, that I think will definately build up my character, when loads of people I think pretty much expected me to not last and be back within a month from being abroad, or not even leave to live on my own at all.
Good stuff! That's awesome Robbie. Make it last as long as you can out there!
Thanks.
