Being Back…
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 | Uncategorized
As I told some of you, when my plane touched the ground in Addis Ababa, I almost started crying. I was so happy. I loved being home in California, but it really felt more like a vacation, a break inbetween living in Ethiopia. I was so excited to rearrive in Ethiopia again! Out of all the places in the earth, this one feels the most like home to me right now.
Life, however, is quite different from when I left. I’m not working at the same school. I live in a different place with different people. I go to language school every morning and part of the afternoon, I tutor students in English, teach piano lessons, and help out with my church’s youth group. These are all things that I did not do when I was living here and working full time as an English Conversation teacher. I’ve had to develop my own routine and schedule and be much more proactive than I was before about making a life for myself.
So, it feels new, normal, and a bit different. I’m used to the way things work here. Now I just have to get used to the way my life works here!

It’s cool to see how taking a vacation to California allows God to change things up in Ethiopia so much! I’m sure he’ll be blessing you and your ministries every step of the way.
