Ace\u0219ti 5 ani au fost sinonimi cu rug\u0103ciuni ne\u00eencetate pentru re\u00eentregirea familiei. \u00centregul proces de imigrare \u00een America a avut un impact at\u00e2t de puternic asupra vie\u021bii sale, \u00eenc\u00e2t atunci c\u00e2nd C\u0103t\u0103lin a absolvit liceul, s-a sim\u021bit obligat s\u0103 se revan\u0219eze fa\u021b\u0103 de \u021bara sa adoptiv\u0103, care l-a \u00eent\u00e2mpinat cu bra\u021bele deschise. \u00cen 2002, C\u0103t\u0103lin s-a \u00eenrolat \u00een For\u021bele Aeriene ale Statelor Unite, petrec\u00e2nd 6 ani \u00een diferite misiuni, merg\u00e2nd \u00een locuri exotice precum Irak \u0219i Kuweit. Convingerea c\u0103 Dumnezeu este prezent cu el \u00een orice moment \u0219i c\u0103 a avut un plan specific pentru destinul s\u0103u l-a ajutat pe C\u0103t\u0103lin s\u0103 dep\u0103\u0219easc\u0103 dificult\u0103\u021bile fizice,\u00a0<\/em>provoc\u0103rile emo\u021bionale \u0219i au facilitat \u00eentoarcerea \u00een Statele Unite teaf\u0103r \u0219i nev\u0103t\u0103mat.

C\u0103t\u0103lin, \u00eemi po\u021bi spune pu\u021bin despre tine, despre cum s-au \u00eempletit credin\u021ba \u0219i biografia ta?<\/strong><\/p>\n

La fel ca mul\u021bi al\u021bi enoria\u0219i din Episcopia Greco-Catolic\u0103 rom\u00e2neasc\u0103 din Canton, m-am n\u0103scut \u0219i am crescut \u00een Rom\u00e2nia. Tat\u0103l meu a venit \u00een Statele Unite \u00een 1990. \u00cen 1995, am venit \u00eempreun\u0103 cu mama \u0219i sora mea dup\u0103 cinci ani de rug\u0103ciuni intense c\u0103tre Dumnezeu pentru a primi viza. \u00cen 2001, am intrat \u00een armat\u0103 \u0219i am desf\u0103\u0219urat c\u00e2teva misiuni \u00een str\u0103in\u0103tate \u00een Irak, Kuweit, Afganistan. C\u00e2nd am p\u0103r\u0103sit armata \u00een 2008, am devenit un contractor civil \u0219i am petrecut \u00eenc\u0103 cinci ani \u0219i jum\u0103tate \u00een Irak \u0219i Afganistan, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 ajut mai mul\u021bi oameni acolo. Cred c\u0103 am devenit mai religios \u00een timpul petrecut \u00een Irak pentru c\u0103 te apropii de Dumnezeu c\u00e2nd e\u0219ti mai aproape de diavol. \u00cen acele condi\u021bii, e\u0219ti \u00een c\u0103utarea ajutorului \u00een fiecare minut din fiecare zi. C\u00e2nd nu prime\u0219ti ajutor fizic, te \u00eendrep\u021bi c\u0103tre ajutorul spiritual. Deci, c\u00e2nd te confrun\u021bi cu pericolul tot timpul (minut cu minut, clip\u0103 de clip\u0103), descoperi c\u0103 Dumnezeu este cel mai bun prieten al t\u0103u. M-am \u00eentors \u00een SUA la \u00eenceputul anului 2013 \u0219i am r\u0103mas aici, mul\u021bumindu-i lui Dumnezeu \u00een fiecare zi pentru c\u0103 m-a readus \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n

Din Rom\u00e2nia spre Statele Unite ale Americii<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00ce\u021bi po\u021bi descrie experien\u021ba mut\u0103rii dintr-o lume \u00een alta, din Rom\u00e2nia \u00een SUA? Ce a \u00eensemnat aceast\u0103 schimbare pentru tine?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cred c\u0103 pentru mine a fost o confirmare c\u0103 Dumnezeu exist\u0103. \u0218tiu c\u0103 sun\u0103 a cli\u0219eu, dar faptul de a putea veni \u00een aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 a fost o imens\u0103 realizare. Fiind crescut \u00eentr-o \u021bar\u0103 \u00een care \u021bi se spune “nu” tot timpul (indiferent de ce ai fi vrut s\u0103 faci) este foarte dificil. “Nu po\u021bi face asta, nu po\u021bi face aia” – o ton\u0103 de restric\u021bii. Fiind destul de norocos c\u0103 tat\u0103l meu a avut \u0219ansa de a ajunge \u00een aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 \u0219i de a se stabili definitiv a fost uimitor.<\/p>\n

De asemenea, a fost dificil s\u0103 a\u0219tept\u0103m cinci ani p\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 venim \u00een America. Mai \u00eent\u00e2i de toate, era greu s\u0103 nu ai un tat\u0103 \u00een toat\u0103 aceast\u0103 perioad\u0103 – s\u0103 vorbe\u0219ti cu el doar la telefon sau s\u0103 scrii scrisori sau s\u0103 te g\u00e2nde\u0219ti c\u0103 poate nu-l vei mai putea vedea niciodat\u0103. M\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam c\u0103 nu voi putea niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 duc \u00een America, deoarece oamenii nu se duc \u00een America doar a\u0219a cu una cu dou\u0103, este foarte greu – mai ales \u00een acele vremuri, dup\u0103 c\u0103derea comunismului. A\u0219adar, ne-am rugat foarte mult, mama \u0219i cu mine, mergeam deseori la biseric\u0103. Eram un b\u0103iat de altar \u0219i obi\u0219nuiam s\u0103 frecventez studiile biblice de s\u00e2mb\u0103t\u0103. \u00centr-un fel, te \u00eencredin\u021bezi \u00een Dumnezeu c\u0103, \u00een cele din urm\u0103, lucrurile pe care le-ai vrea se vor realiza. Dar \u00een sinea mea, m\u0103 g\u00e2ndeam mereu c\u0103 nu se va \u00eent\u00e2mpla; era prea mult s\u0103 ceri sau poate c\u0103 sim\u021beam c\u0103 nu meritam acest lucru.<\/p>\n

Cinci ani au trecut, pres\u0103ra\u021bi constant de rug\u0103ciuni \u0219i \u00een cele din urm\u0103 s-a \u00eent\u00e2mplat! Am venit \u00een aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103, iar \u00een primul an a fost ireal. A fost incredibil s\u0103 te duci dintr-o \u021bar\u0103 \u00een care \u021bi s-a spus \u00eentotdeauna “nu” \u00eentr-o \u021bar\u0103 \u00een care toat\u0103 lumea \u00ee\u021bi z\u00e2mbe\u0219te \u0219i admir\u0103 faptul c\u0103 ai reu\u0219it s\u0103 ajungi \u00een acel loc. A fost un \u0219oc, un \u0219oc cultural. Dar mi-a fost mai u\u0219or s\u0103 m\u0103 integrez, \u021bin\u00e2nd cont c\u0103 eram t\u00e2n\u0103r \u0219i este mult mai u\u0219or c\u00e2nd e\u0219ti mai t\u00e2n\u0103r. Am sim\u021bit c\u0103 aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 are mult mai multe de oferit dec\u00e2t \u021bara mea de origine, a\u0219a c\u0103 am devenit foarte patriotic. Iubesc aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 \u0219i acesta este motivul pentru care am decis s\u0103 m\u0103 \u00eenrolez – am vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 revan\u0219ez fa\u021b\u0103 de aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103. Desigur, are defectele sale \u0219i nu este perfect\u0103, nu este o utopie. Dar aceast\u0103 \u021bar\u0103 este casa mea pentru mine, aceasta este inima mea.<\/p>\n

\u00centreaga idee a libert\u0103\u021bii religiei este, de asemenea, nou\u0103. Uneori \u00een Rom\u00e2nia sim\u021beam c\u0103 nu am de ales, c\u0103 merg la biseric\u0103 pentru c\u0103 toat\u0103 lumea merge la biseric\u0103. Aici exist\u0103 o libertate religioas\u0103 – oamenii te respect\u0103 fie c\u0103 mergi la biseric\u0103, fie c\u0103 nu. Oamenii te respect\u0103 dac\u0103 e\u0219ti spiritual sau nu, religios sau nu. M\u0103 simt mai religios acum dec\u00e2t \u00eenainte, pentru c\u0103 am reu\u0219it s\u0103 vin aici. Aceasta dovede\u0219te c\u0103 Dumnezeu exist\u0103 \u0219i ascult\u0103. Nou\u0103, El ne-a dat ceea ce am cerut.<\/p>\n

Apoi ai trecut prin \u0219coal\u0103, ai absolvit liceul, dup\u0103 care te-ai \u00eenrolat \u00een avia\u021bie?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Am venit aici \u0219i am terminat clasele a \u0219aptea \u0219i a opta, apoi m-am \u00eenscris la liceu \u0219i am absolvit. Timp de un an mi-am ajutat tat\u0103l la compania lui \u0219i apoi m-am \u00eenrolat \u00een avia\u021bia american\u0103. Aceasta a fost imediat dup\u0103 11 septembrie, 2011, dup\u0103 ceea eu numesc “R\u0103zboiul \u00eempotriva cre\u0219tinismului”. Cel pu\u021bin a\u0219a am sim\u021bit \u00een acea perioad\u0103. Deci, m-am \u00eenrolat la c\u00e2teva luni dup\u0103 11 septembrie \u0219i am petrecut \u00een total \u0219ase ani \u00een serviciu activ. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2\u021biva ani de antrenament, am fost debarcat \u00een str\u0103in\u0103tate. Ar trebui s\u0103 spun c\u0103 m-am oferit voluntar. Ei \u00eentreab\u0103 cine vrea s\u0103 mearg\u0103 iar eu am vrut s\u0103 plec. Mie mi s-a p\u0103rut c\u0103 era un sacrificiu de a fi \u00een serviciul militar. A merge \u00een str\u0103in\u0103tate \u0219i a fi \u00een prima linie p\u0103rea chiar mai mult dec\u00e2t un sacrificiu. M-am sim\u021bit mai bine s\u0103 d\u0103ruiesc \u00eenapoi acestei \u021b\u0103ri \u2013 d\u0103ruind \u00eenapoi lui Dumnezeu, d\u0103ruind \u00eenapoi tuturor \u2013 prin faptul de a c\u0103l\u0103tori acolo \u0219i a tr\u0103i totul pe propria piele. Aftel, \u00een 2003 am plecat \u00een Irak.<\/p>\n

Serviciul militar din prima perioad\u0103<\/em><\/p>\n

Te face misionar faptul c\u0103 ai participat \u00een mai multe misiuni?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nu sunt sigur dac\u0103 a\u0219 formula-o \u00een acest fel. Misiunea mea acolo era de a ajuta. Dac\u0103 a fost perceput\u0103 ca atare sau nu, este o alt\u0103 poveste. C\u00e2nd m-am oferit voluntar s\u0103 particip, nu a fost pentru c\u0103 am dorit s\u0103 merg \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eempu\u0219c oameni sau s\u0103 arunc lucrurile \u00een aer. Am vrut s\u0103 fiu acolo \u0219i s\u0103 ajut, am vrut s\u0103 pot face diferen\u021ba; am vrut s\u0103 m\u0103 pun \u00een situa\u021bia acelor oameni \u0219i s\u0103 v\u0103d ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 – de ce nu ne \u00een\u021belegem, de ce nu v\u0103d ceea ce v\u0103d eu? Speram s\u0103 le pot explica de ce suntem acolo, \u0219i anume, ca s\u0103-i ajut\u0103m. Cred c\u0103 \u00eentr-o oarecare m\u0103sur\u0103 am reu\u0219it. Cred c\u0103 am f\u0103cut diferen\u021ba, cel pu\u021bin \u00een zona unde eram. A existat o mare diferen\u021b\u0103 \u00eentre situa\u021bia dinainte de a ajunge noi \u0219i dup\u0103 plecarea noastr\u0103. C\u00e2nd am sosit, oamenii se temeau s\u0103 ias\u0103 pe str\u0103zi, oamenilor le era fric\u0103 s\u0103 se uite la noi. C\u00e2nd am plecat, am v\u0103zut copii care erau \u00eembr\u0103ca\u021bi s\u0103 mearg\u0103 la \u0219coal\u0103 \u0219i care se jucau pe str\u0103zi. \u00cen general, oamenii au fost mai s\u0103n\u0103to\u0219i \u0219i mai ferici\u021bi. Cred c\u0103 misiunea mea a fost complet\u0103; am realizat cu succes scopul pentru care am fost trimis acolo.<\/p>\n

\u201dtotul a \u00eenceput \u00een Irak c\u00e2nd mi-am dat seama c\u0103 Dumnezeu are un plan mai mare pentru mine \u0219i, dac\u0103 ai credin\u021b\u0103, \u00een cele din urm\u0103 vei vedea planul S\u0103u.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cum a fost acea experien\u021b\u0103?<\/strong><\/p>\n

M-am g\u00e2ndit ini\u021bial c\u0103 voi fi bine. \u00cen capul meu Rom\u00e2nia a fost \u00eentotdeauna o \u021bar\u0103 foarte restrictiv\u0103, o lume \u00een care nu puteai fi cu adev\u0103rat cine voiai s\u0103 fii. Prin urmare, m-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 o s\u0103 m\u0103 descurc \u00een Irak mult mai bine dec\u00e2t ceilal\u021bi solda\u021bi, pentru c\u0103 am trecut prin unele dintre lucrurile pe care ace\u0219ti oameni le traversau. Din nou, a fost un \u0219oc cultural. Ajung\u00e2nd acolo \u0219i v\u0103z\u00e2nd gravitatea situa\u021biei, stilul de via\u021b\u0103 al oamenilor, a fost un \u0219oc uria\u0219 – nu m\u0103 a\u0219teptam. C\u00e2teva zile dup\u0103 ce am ajuns, am avut primul nostru atac \u0219i m-am panicat. Era pentru prima oar\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba mea c\u00e2nd mi-am dat seama c\u0103 m\u0103 panicam. Exista cineva acolo care tr\u0103gea spre mine, arunc\u00e2nd o bomb\u0103 asupra mea. Exist\u0103 un glon\u021b cu numele meu pe el, de la un tip care nici m\u0103car nu \u0219tie cine sunt, nu \u0219tie nimic despre mine, nu \u0219tie de ce sunt acolo, nu \u0219tie c\u0103 sunt acolo s\u0103 ajut \u0219i nu s\u0103 produc suferin\u021b\u0103. C\u00e2nd te afli la o asemenea r\u0103scruce a panicii, ori \u00eennebune\u0219ti \u2013 lucru care s-a \u0219i \u00eent\u00e2mplat cu unii – ori descoperi c\u0103 exist\u0103 cineva sus acolo care te ajut\u0103. Exist\u0103 un Dumnezeu. Cred c\u0103 am devenit mult mai religios \u00een timpul acestor atacuri.<\/strong> De multe ori m-am trezit \u00een bunc\u0103re rug\u00e2ndu-m\u0103, pentru c\u0103 nu prea aveam ce altceva s\u0103 fac. Mi-am dat seama dup\u0103 o vreme c\u0103 nu cred c\u0103 misiunea mea este s\u0103 mor aici. Nu cred c\u0103 Dumnezeu vrea s\u0103 fiu acolo \u0219i pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 dispar \u0219i s\u0103-mi sf\u00e2r\u0219esc via\u021ba f\u0103r\u0103 nicio realizare. Dup\u0103 c\u00e2teva atacuri pe care le-am supravie\u021buit (cred c\u0103 se pot numi atacuri reu\u0219ite) a devenit natural s\u0103 g\u00e2ndesc c\u0103 Dumnezeu vrea s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n \u00een via\u021b\u0103, c\u0103 Dumnezeu avea planuri mai mari pentru mine, nu doar \u00een locul acesta.<\/p>\n

Am continuat s\u0103 m\u0103 rog \u0219i am continuat s\u0103-i mul\u021bumesc lui Dumnezeu. Rug\u0103ciunea mea c\u0103tre Dumnezeu a trecut de la “Te rog ajut\u0103-m\u0103 s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n \u00een via\u021b\u0103, te rog, nu m\u0103 l\u0103sa s\u0103 mor” la \u201d\u00ce\u021bi mul\u021bumesc Doamne pentru c\u0103 mi-ai dat via\u021b\u0103; \u00ce\u021bi mul\u021bumesc Doamne c\u0103 mi-ai dat o alt\u0103 zi”. Astfel, am trecut de la a m\u0103 ruga pentru<\/em> via\u021b\u0103, la a mul\u021bumi pentru<\/em> via\u021b\u0103.<\/strong> M-am \u00eentors din Afganistan de peste 5 ani \u0219i nu a trecut o zi f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i mul\u021bumesc lui Dumnezeu pentru c\u0103 m-a readus acas\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103 \u0219i \u00eentr-o singur\u0103 bucat\u0103.

A\u0219adar, totul a \u00eenceput \u00een Irak c\u00e2nd<\/strong> mi-am dat seama c\u0103 Dumnezeu are un plan mai mare pentru mine<\/strong> \u0219i, dac\u0103 ai credin\u021b\u0103, \u00een cele din urm\u0103 vei vedea planul S\u0103u.<\/strong> Totul are un domeniu de aplicare. Nimic nu este \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103tor. Nu se poate s\u0103 exist\u0103 o astfel de coinciden\u021b\u0103. C\u00e2nd vezi convoiul din fa\u021ba ta aruncat \u00een aer, oameni murind \u00een fa\u021ba ta, oameni murind \u00een spatele t\u0103u \u0219i \u021bie nu \u021bi se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 nimic, \u00ee\u021bi dai seama c\u0103 nu poate fi o simpl\u0103 coinciden\u021b\u0103. De ce am supravie\u021buit? De ce au murit ceilal\u021bi oameni \u0219i eu nu? Poate c\u0103 erau mai pu\u021bin religio\u0219i sau nu se rugau destul? Este o posibilitate. Dar cred c\u0103 Dumnezeu are un plan diferit pentru fiecare persoan\u0103. Pentru mine, planul a fost s\u0103 vin acas\u0103 \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103 \u00een speran\u021ba de a realiza ceva. R\u0103zboiul cu siguran\u021b\u0103 te apropie de Dumnezeu dac\u0103 crezi \u00een El. \u0218i cred c\u0103 dac\u0103 nu o faci, pur \u0219i simplu \u00eennebune\u0219ti, iar mul\u021bi au \u0219i f\u0103cut-o.<\/p>\n

Op\u021biunile unei persoane pe timp de r\u0103zboi: credin\u021ba sau nebunia.<\/em><\/p>\n

Din c\u00e2te \u00een\u021beleg, cred c\u0103 cele dou\u0103 op\u021biuni pe care o are o persoan\u0103 \u00een contextul r\u0103zboiului este fie s\u0103 \u00eennebune\u0219ti, fie s\u0103 te abandonezi complet providen\u021bei lui Dumnezeu.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corect. \u0218i mul\u021bi oameni au mers p\u00e2n\u0103 la punctul de a se \u00eempu\u0219ca \u00een picior, astfel \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 fie trimi\u0219i la un spital undeva \u00een afara Irakului. Pentru mine, gestul a fost nebunesc; a-\u021bi face r\u0103u \u021bie \u00eensu\u021bi, doar pentru c\u0103 nu ai avut pu\u021bin\u0103 credin\u021b\u0103. M-am panicat \u0219i eu la \u00eenceput. Primele zile au fost oribile. Nu am tr\u0103it niciodat\u0103 un asemenea nivel de fric\u0103. Dar a devenit din ce \u00een ce mai evident c\u0103 Dumnezeu avea un plan pentru mine, a\u0219a c\u0103 nu trebuia s\u0103-mi fac griji. Asta nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 nu fiu prudent, dar nu trebuia s\u0103-mi fac griji pentru moarte, pentru c\u0103 nu era locul \u00een care aveam s\u0103-mi sf\u00e2r\u0219esc via\u021ba. Deci, am acceptat \u0219i m-am dus \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n

Afganistan<\/em><\/p>\n

Misiunea ta din Afganistan a fost similar\u0103 sau a adus lucruri noi \u00a0\u00een prim-plan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Misiunea din Afganistan a fost, de asemenea, o misiune voluntar\u0103. A fost contractul meu de munc\u0103 civil. M-am oferit s\u0103 merg acolo chiar dup\u0103 ce am p\u0103r\u0103sit serviciul militar, poate pentru c\u0103 i-am sim\u021bit lipsa. Unii oameni spun c\u0103, atunci c\u00e2nd te afli \u00eentr-o zon\u0103 de pericol \u0219i scapi cu via\u021ba, \u00een mintea ta \u00ee\u021bi revine g\u00e2ndul re\u00eentoarcerii. Poate c\u0103 asta era. M-am al\u0103turat for\u021belor civile (engl.\u00a0civilian force<\/em>), m-am dus \u00een Irak timp de doi ani \u0219i jum\u0103tate, dup\u0103 care am mers \u00een Afganistan al\u021bi doi ani \u0219i jum\u0103tate. \u00cen Afganistan am reu\u0219it s\u0103 tratez cu oamenii mai direct. Am angajat o mul\u021bime de localnici, m-am \u00eemprietenit cu mul\u021bi, le-am ascultat pove\u0219tile \u0219i am ascultat cum au fost maltrata\u021bi de talibani sau de grupul Shias. Aceste grupuri traversau \u021bara \u0219i ucideau oameni. Ei au propriul lor Dumnezeu, dar pentru mine este \u00eenc\u0103 Dumnezeul nostru, este acela\u0219i Dumnezeu, dar ei \u00eel numesc Allah. Ei se roag\u0103 foarte mult lui Allah. \u00cen\u021belegi mult mai mult religia lor atunci c\u00e2nd te a\u0219ezi \u0219i discu\u021bi cu ei, ceea ce am \u0219i f\u0103cut \u00een Afganistan. Am m\u00e2ncat cu ei, am dormit printre ei, am avut acelea\u0219i condi\u021bii de via\u021b\u0103 pentru o lung\u0103 perioad\u0103 de timp. Am petrecut doi ani \u0219i jum\u0103tate acolo cu localnicii, astfel \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg mai bine religia \u0219i stilul lor de via\u021b\u0103, mult peste majoritatea oamenilor de-acas\u0103 care \u00ee\u0219i iau informa\u021biile de la Google sau s\u0103 de la \u0219tiri.<\/p>\n

Acas\u0103 dup\u0103 r\u0103zboi \u2013 sau a vedea lumea cu ochi noi.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00centoarcerea ta acas\u0103, iar\u0103\u0219i dintr-o lume \u00een alta, \u0219i revenind la o via\u021b\u0103 \u201dnormal\u0103\u201d, a constituit o schimbare per ansamblu?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Din punct de vedere spiritual nu. Aceea\u0219i credin\u021b\u0103 pe care am avut-o acolo o am \u0219i aici acas\u0103. Continui s\u0103 cred c\u0103 totul se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 cu un scop, c\u0103 Dumnezeu vegheaz\u0103 asupra noastr\u0103. Singura diferen\u021b\u0103 este dialogul cu oamenii de-aici \u0219i \u00eencercarea de a-i face s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 c\u0103 lumea pe care o v\u0103d \u00een acest moment nu reprezint\u0103 \u00eentreaga lume.\u00a0 Fiind acolo am con\u0219tientizat c\u0103 aceea este realitatea trist\u0103 a lumii \u00een care tr\u0103im. S-ar putea s\u0103 fie grozav aici \u00een America, sau \u00een alte \u021b\u0103ri, dar cred c\u0103 exist\u0103 at\u00e2tea \u021b\u0103ri \u00een lume unde nu este at\u00e2t de grozav s\u0103 tr\u0103ie\u0219ti.\u00a0 Oamenii nu au libertatea, oportunit\u0103\u021bile \u0219i toate celelalte lucruri pe care le avem aici. Deci, \u00eencercarea de a vorbi cu oamenii \u0219i a-i face s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 este dificil\u0103 pentru c\u0103 e dificil s\u0103 le explici sentimentele pe care le tr\u0103ie\u0219ti c\u00e2nd te afli \u00een situa\u021biile respective. Pot s\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi explic cum sunt oamenii, ce m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103, cum se \u00eembrac\u0103, dar nu pot s\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi explic sentimentul pe care \u00eel ai atunci c\u00e2nd te afli \u00een mijlocul lor. Nici m\u0103car nu pot s\u0103 explic sentimentul pe care \u00eel ai c\u00e2nd aju\u021bi pe cineva, c\u00e2nd oferi cuiva, pentru o zi de lucru, echivalentul unui salariu pe o lun\u0103 de zile. Ei \u0219tiu c\u0103 timp de o lun\u0103 vor fi ferici\u021bi, vor avea m\u00e2ncare, iar familia lor va fi \u00eengrijit\u0103. Acel<\/em> sentiment nu \u00eel po\u021bi explica. \u021ai se face pielea de g\u0103in\u0103 doar la g\u00e2ndul acelei experien\u021be, dar nu o po\u021bi explica. Oamenilor le este dificil s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 experien\u021ba mea de-acolo. Tot ce pot s\u0103 le spun e c\u0103 am trecut prin multe. Am \u00eencercat s\u0103 ajut oameni. Exist\u0103 oameni care \u00eentr-adev\u0103r au nevoie de ajutorul nostru \u0219i nu ar trebui s\u0103-i judec\u0103m. Doar fiindc\u0103 e\u0219ti musulman sau cre\u0219tin nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 e\u0219ti \u00een mod automat un om r\u0103u. Suntem oameni cu to\u021bii \u0219i cu to\u021bii credem \u00eentr-o fiin\u021b\u0103 superioar\u0103.<\/p>\n

Petrec\u00e2nd at\u00e2t de mult timp acolo \u0219i revenind acas\u0103 la libertate, primul lucru pe care l-am observat au fost culorile. Pare neverosimil, dar acolo totul este gri, toate lucrurile au o tent\u0103 bej sau gri. Iar apoi te \u00eentorci acas\u0103 \u0219i totul este plin de culoare. Vezi albastrul, ro\u0219ul \u0219i verdele (mai ales verdele frunzelor din copaci!) \u0219i astfel \u00eencepi s\u0103 apreciezi via\u021ba \u0219i mai mult. Pentru mine, re\u00eentoarcerea a fost \u00eentr-un fel o experien\u021b\u0103 spiritual\u0103, retr\u0103ind totul, bucur\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 de via\u021b\u0103, simpla via\u021b\u0103, doar at\u00e2t.<\/p>\n

\u00cei mul\u021bumesc lui Dumnezeu c\u0103 m-am \u00eentors \u0219i nu oricum, ci s\u0103n\u0103tos, fiindc\u0103 astfel pot aprecia via\u021ba mult mai mult acum dec\u00e2t o f\u0103ceam \u00een trecut.<\/p>\n

“Acum, c\u00e2nd m\u0103 duc la biseric\u0103 m\u0103 reg\u0103sesc \u00eentr-un loc plin de pace \u0219i mul\u021bumire.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00cenapoi \u00een Irak \u0219i Afganistan \u2013 de la arm\u0103 la unealt\u0103, dar mereu cu Dumnezeu.<\/em><\/p>\n

Iar dup\u0103 aceast\u0103 perioad\u0103 acas\u0103 te-ai hot\u0103r\u00e2t se mergi \u00eenapoi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ultimele dou\u0103 misiuni au fost pe o perioad\u0103 de 5 ani \u2013 doi ani \u0219i jum\u0103tate \u00een Irak, doi ani \u0219i jum\u0103tate \u00een Afganistan, cu o mic\u0103 vacan\u021b\u0103 de dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni la fiecare \u0219ase luni. Prima experien\u021b\u0103 din 2004, c\u00e2nd am avut arma \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, a fost una revelatoare. Ultimele dou\u0103, \u00een loc de arm\u0103 am avut o unealt\u0103 (o cheie francez\u0103). A trebuit s\u0103 m\u0103 duc acolo ca s\u0103 repar lucruri. A fost o experien\u021b\u0103 cu totul diferit\u0103. Dar per total sim\u021bi cam acelea\u0219i lucruri. Sim\u021bi c\u0103 ai \u00eenv\u0103\u021bat ceva, ai dob\u00e2ndit ceva, iar c\u00e2nd te \u00eentorci acas\u0103 realizezi c\u0103 iube\u0219ti via\u021ba \u0219i mai mult. Te bucuri de via\u021b\u0103, iube\u0219ti oamenii \u0219i propria familie peste m\u0103sur\u0103. Te duci la biseric\u0103 mai fericit. Acum, c\u00e2nd m\u0103 duc la biseric\u0103 sunt mai fericit dec\u00e2t \u00een perioada tinere\u021bii mele. Atunci trebuia s\u0103 m\u0103 duc la biseric\u0103 fiindc\u0103 eram nevoit.\u00a0 Mama mea obi\u0219nuia s\u0103-mi spun\u0103 \u201dPune-\u021bi hainele bune pe tine acum fiindc\u0103 mergem la biseric\u0103.\u201d Iar replica mea era \u201dDar mam\u0103\u2026!\u201d \u00centr-un final ajungeam \u0219i noi la biseric\u0103. Acum, e cu totul diferit. Este diferit deoarece acum m\u0103 duc la biseric\u0103 ca s\u0103-i mul\u021bumesc lui Dumnezeu pentru tot ce mi-a d\u0103ruit, spre deosebire de a veni s\u0103-I cer s\u0103-mi dea ceva. S\u0103 nu m\u0103 \u00een\u021belege\u021bi gre\u0219it, nu am \u00eencetat s\u0103-I cer, noi to\u021bi cerem tot felul de lucruri de la Dumnezeu \u2013 Doamne, te rog ajut\u0103-m\u0103 cu chestia asta sau aia. Pe urm\u0103 ai anumite \u00een\u021belegeri cu Dumnezeu: \u201dDac\u0103 m\u0103 aju\u021bi cu aceast\u0103 problem\u0103, promit c\u0103 voi fi mai religios, voi veni la biseric\u0103 mai des.\u201d To\u021bi facem lucrul acesta. Dar pentru mine acum e diferit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Acum, c\u00e2nd m\u0103 duc la biseric\u0103 m\u0103 reg\u0103sesc \u00eentr-un loc plin de pace \u0219i mul\u021bumire <\/strong>\u2013 foarte diferit de atunci c\u00e2nd am fost for\u021bat s\u0103 m\u0103 duc.<\/p>\n

Cred c\u0103 \u00een\u021beleg pu\u021bin mai bine \u0219i religia. Pentru mine, religia are un rol foarte important \u00een societate. \u0218tiu c\u0103 mul\u021bi oameni din America nu sunt de acord cu aceast\u0103 afirma\u021bie. Dar cred c\u0103 religia \u00ee\u021bi d\u0103 un stil de via\u021b\u0103 mai s\u0103n\u0103tos. Oamenii care sunt religio\u0219i au mult mai multe \u0219anse de a tr\u0103i mai mult, de a dona \u0219i de a-\u0219i acorda timp altora, care sunt mai pu\u021bin noroco\u0219i dec\u00e2t ei. Cred c\u0103 religia joac\u0103 un rol important \u00een bun\u0103starea oamenilor \u0219i a societ\u0103\u021bii.<\/p>\n

Via\u021ba de zi cu zi.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cum e via\u021ba acum pentru tine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(z\u00e2mbind) Agitat\u0103! \u00cen 2012 m-am c\u0103s\u0103torit cu so\u021bia mea care este din Rom\u00e2nia. Am \u00eenceput o via\u021b\u0103 bun\u0103 \u00een Texas, dar a trebuit s\u0103 ne mut\u0103m \u00een Ohio, deoarece p\u0103rin\u021bii mei au avut nevoie de ajutor. Deci, am venit s\u0103-i ajut\u0103m. Am venit ini\u021bial pentru doi ani \u0219i suntem deja aici de cinci ani. Ne-am cump\u0103rat casa noastr\u0103, avem familia noastr\u0103, avem un stil de via\u021b\u0103 decent.<\/p>\n

Din punct de vedere spiritual, sunt fericit. Sunt recunosc\u0103tor pentru tot ceea ce am, pentru to\u021bi cei din jurul meu, pentru toate oportunit\u0103\u021bile pe care ni le-a dat Dumnezeu. \u00cei mul\u021bumesc lui Dumnezeu \u00een fiecare zi. De fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd intru \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103, de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd m\u0103n\u00e2nc, de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd m\u0103 trezesc, de fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd m\u0103 duc la culcare – mereu \u00eei mul\u021bumesc lui Dumnezeu. Singura cale de a-i mul\u021bumi lui Dumnezeu este atunci c\u00e2nd realizezi c\u0103 ai primit mult mai mult dec\u00e2t probabil ai cerut. De aceea, per ansamblu, sunt o persoan\u0103 fericit\u0103.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
