Dear Friends,
Guess where I am? Yes, I'm in Abu Dhabi! Making the decision to come here on my own was both thrilling and terrifying. But, as they say, everything falls into place when the timing is right—or, more precisely, when it’s God’s perfect timing. That’s exactly what happened to me.
Today marks 10 days since I arrived in this beautiful city, and I can hardly put into words how transformative this experience has been. Coming to Abu Dhabi was the right decision, and I’m overjoyed to be here. I owe it all to my Lord, Jesus Christ. By the way, I just turned 31! It’s a bittersweet feeling, knowing that I’m slowly transitioning from young to older. But it’s also a profound one, and I’m so grateful to God for guiding and protecting me since birth.
Here, I’m staying with people who were once strangers but have now become my friends. This country has been incredibly kind and gentle to me. I feel like I’ve grown so much, becoming more sensible and learning to differentiate between needs and desires. Now, I can proudly say that I am an independent woman. The feeling of independence is something I can’t fully explain, but it’s empowering and fulfilling.
I’ve noticed that I’m more disciplined now, and I’m on the lookout for a good job. Interestingly, I don’t feel any stress or anxiety about the job search. I have complete faith that the One who brought me here will take care of my needs and bless me with a job that will allow me to support my family. And yes, since day one, I found a wonderful church filled with godly people.
Oh, and guess what? I’ve also become the best chef—at least in my own eyes! I’ve started cooking daily, and while the first four days were quite difficult, everything gradually became manageable. Online shopping has taken a back seat as I now focus more on grocery shopping, and even though washing clothes, cleaning my room, and making my bed were challenges at first, I’ve become quite the pro at it all.
That said, I do miss India—especially the street food and the vibrant life there. Changing cities was tough, but here I am, thriving in a whole new country. I’m incredibly proud of myself and have started loving myself even more. I’m also excited for what’s to come, especially in my spiritual life.
This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m embracing this new chapter with open arms, knowing that God’s plan is always perfect.
Thank you for being part of my journey!
Blessings, Binduja Pillai
