Yes, this is a perfectly correct use of "for" as a

Interesting, since English is not my first language, if in that
sentence instead of "for" there was the word "since", I
wouldn't have been bothered, but since it was the first time I
saw the usage of "for" in that way, I found awkward.
After that I even look into a translator which gave the same
translation with "since" and "for" in that sentence.
Well living and learning. :)
