During this year I've decided to move from my family to learn to live "on my own". To earn money, to save, to pay rent... to learn to be independent. I know it's quite usual in some countries, but here, in the Czech republic it is not. The reason why the young people leave the house here is mainly going to college or moving to a girl- or a boyfriend (which is not my case). I prayed for it a lot and God was so generous and kind to me, that he gave me the opportunity to move to a small house in a village (that's what I've ever dreamt for  ) with two more girls from my church. He also gave me the money I need for the begining... He cares greatly. I am moving at the begining of July.
On the other hand it is quite difficult for me. I am used to come home and to have the dinner at the table, to have all my clothes washed and ironed... and I am sure I will struggle with this a bit  .
I am sorry if this thread is hard to understand, English is not my native language, you see  , and also the cultural difference might be too big... I don't know.
I just wanted to ask if there's anybody who left the house in about my age and how did it g. Or if there are some parents whose children have left... so that I could understand my parents better...
thank you very much! |
Johana, God bless you very much! It is very hard leaving your home, you realize how much of a shell your parents provide for you.
Just pray, and ask God for guidance. Of course your first few months of year(s) of being away from your parents may be confusing with trying to find a job, paying bills, buying food, doing your laundry and clothes, etc. etc.
Don't feel bad about English as your second language. While English is my first, speaking Japanese (which I need to learn again!) was hard at first but the more you speak it it gets easier.
I say God will be there for you. At least you have someone watching over you! Many young people go out into the world un-knowing that it is not as easy as it looks. Just be careful and stay focused on God.
Please send more updates.
God BLESS YOU!
