Unkown boredom?

Do you ever start a conversation with someone and there’s so much to talk about yet you’ve no idea what to say?

Well, that’s where I am at right now. I even thought that writing out these sentences would help me figure out where I could start but that’s not even helping.

Perhaps I’ll mention cultural acclimatization - I am getting very used to being here in Switzerland, so much so that even the European style computer keyboards have become second nature and now the North American one is difficult to use. I’m comfortable with the shops in town, the buses, the train. I feel like I know this place. For me, that’s a double edged sword. Yes it’s good that I’m comfy here and at ease which means I am not distracted from the school and ministry. On the other hand I’m a stir crazy person and can feel myself growing in “boredom.”

I put the quotes around boredom because I’m not getting bored. I have heaps to do and I’m being challenged , but part of the challenge is perseverance. Being able to continue within a busy schedule, constantly adding new things to it and serving at a level worthy of the king. It’s tiring for me and would be much easier if I was in a new environment with all this new and crazy stuff coming at me.

You might say that the honeymoon stage is over for me and Switzerland. Been here, done that, what’s next? But there’s something to be said for really knowing a place. It would take me AGES to totally know this country and even then I wouldn’t know it as well as someone who was born and raised here.

So perhaps bored is the incorrect work, excited for what lies ahead…yeah, more adventure, steeper peaks to climb greater obstacles to overcome. Yeah, I ain’t bored, I’m ready to up the ante….Anyone else with me?
