To my readers

Dear Reader,

I am been thinking a lot about how I was going to share with you all this journey God is taking me on. It has been so hard to just be able to put it into words what the last couple of months has been like. So, I am just going to write whatever comes out.
God has been teaching awhole lot since I came back to the states in August and in December. I know when I came home in August that God had called me to the mission field but I knew to get there he would have to teach me a lot about ministry and my purpose in Ethiopia.
The number one thing God has been teaching me is ministry life. I never knew how exhausting, emotional and lonely it could be, But it is the most awarding and worth every heartache and every pain. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I find myself on my knees more seeking Gods face, trying to understand what he wants for the children of Ethiopia and my life.
I want so badly to be back home with the children. I want to hug them and kiss them. I want to take care of them if there sick or hungry. I want to teach them about their father that loves them, that he has a great destiny for their lives. I want them to know that God hears their cry's for help and knows the pain in their belly's. I want to wrap my arms around them, that they can feel the love of Jesus through me. My heart aches everyday for the orphans and street children of Ethiopia. I pray for their salvation. I want them so badly to understand how much God loves them.
I find myself trusting God more. Sometimes I don't have the answer to peoples questions they ask me about what I am doing in Ethiopia or HOW I will do something.I am putting my trust in him. He  has everything planned to the detail for me. Also, having faith, not knowing is hard. Whenever I decided to give my life to Christ and serve in Ethiopia, I have been making choices on a leap of faith. I believe that Lord wants us to trust him enough that when he calls us to do something extraordinary things, we will
jump.
SO, I am taking a HUGE LEAP in Gods calling on my life and I am so glad that you are all apart of this journey.
