Her endless life story starts in Beirut
Life in transit
To start with my 7 days journey that I had in Germany, I would like to tell you that my personal experience might not be the same to anyone visiting or living in Germany, but for the first time I am excited to share this huge experience that shaped my thoughts and made me realize what life really is outside my environment or circle of belonging. My voyage was quite challenging yet adventurous. I remember before I took off to Germany, I was stressed and afraid of the unknown and the whole idea of being a complete sojourner in a sojourn land. But I swallowed my fear and took the risk anyway because I had to go there for checking out something and making my mind clear. So, I got on the plane and flew to Athens then to Germany. The first day I arrived at the airport, the first thing I had in mind was to get a train to take me to Darmstadt and then to Dieburg, the place that I stayed for 6 days. The airport was really crowded, and people from every country had come to the airport. Some to stay and some to go. Too many faces from too many countries, it was too new to me in a nice way and staring in amazement in another way. And what caught my attention was this busy atmosphere around me. Everyone had something to do, somewhere to go, someone to see. This so called “busy syndrome” was infectious to an extent that it wasn’t pleasant at all and was causing a great irritation that I wanted to get out from. Although this infection has been spread to almost everywhere in the world, but finding it irritative more than usual, I had the feeling that I should turn back to my birthplace. That wasn’t truly what I wanted, because everything about Germany seemed fairy-tale. The nature, the buildings, the food, the lifestyle; all seemed so good, but were I willing to live and study there? I don’t think it’s up to my standard to live in a place like that, and ALONE! During my stay in Germany, I had the chance to meet new people, eat new food, visit new shops, and enjoy the sound of the nature. This was the most amazing part of my visit to Germany. And I wish I could visit again, just to refresh my self and continue my joy in the place where I left it. My nostalgia has waned now that I’m keeping myself busy all the time, but I admit, there is an uncertain voice that says “you should have gone there. It might have been better than where I’m standing today”. Goodbye Germany, goodbye Dieburg. You have been nice to me. Not sure you’ll be nice to me for my next visit (if God wills). I hope I’ll have the chance to visit you under better circumstances.

Take me to the promised land where you dwell.
Take me by my hand and lead me. I know you promised me to take me to your Holiness, Just like you promised Moses to bring your people out of the affliction of Egypt. The road is rough, and sometimes impossible to pass through. But i know you are with me, making me a way to go through. There is pain and weary through the process, But there is also a reward in the end. Take me to the place where i can see your face. Take me to the place where it doesn't recognize day and night. On the cliff, hold me still and never let me go. I surrender my plans into your hands. I submit my self to you, the fortifier of my life. Take me to the promised land where you dwell. Make me the person i am called to bring glory to your name. Take me to the place where i belong, A place higher than what i envisioned. Take me and make me grater than i am. And let me praise you in the midst of hardship as in the midst of prosperity. Your plans are good that bring hope to my soul. Make them real, oh my Lord! Take me to the place where you have promised. On the giant mountain i stand, i stand to extol you, oh Lord. Speak your plans in my parched soul, Wash all fallacious thoughts that degrade my faith and hope in your greatness. In litany i’ll remain faithful to your undone plans. Take me to the promised land where you dwell. Take me by my hand and lead me. I am oblivion without your presence in my life. For you are the keeper of my heart. |
