Thoughts From God (about life here)
Saturday, August 30th, 2008 | Uncategorized
These are things that I have sensed God saying to me and they have been confirmed so I’ll share some with all of you….
“You’ll Love It”—In reference to Ethiopia….Yeah, there are many things that I have grown to love about this place. People are really friendly here. My neighborhood is safe and quaint. The food is delicious. I am starting to feel like I belong. There are so many wonderful people that I’m getting to know.
“It’s Going to be Hard”—That’s true too! Seeing a homeless child sleeping on the side of the road in a dirty blanket is difficult. Having people stare at you when you just want to fit into the crowd (yeah, I don’t know if that ever happens for white people in an African country) takes some getting used to. Getting sick from food is not fun.
So, in conclusion (this sounds like an essay), it’s good to hear the voice of reality from God and to know that this is culture shock. Somethings you absolutely love and somethings are difficult to deal with and that’s just the way it goes!
