Am I there yet?

I am here in the United States waiting to leave for Ethiopia. It just seems a matter of time when I leave, but when? When do I leave? I keep asking myself. I wonder when. When will I get to be with my fiance of three years? When will I get to start ministering and teaching in Ethoipia. As I ponder these questions from one day to the next giving thanks to God most high that it will be coming soon. Looking at lowering down how much money I am to need over there as a soon to be married man. It is not easy. If I were by myself then I would be able to do this on little as $400 a month in Ethiopia, but since I am not then I have to think about more than myself. I wonder at times will I want to come back to the states? Since I want to go there so badly and I have sold all that I have. At this time I have no plans to ever to return to the states to live again.

With a set budget for volunteering with Mission Ethiopia an organization that creates jobs for single mothers and widows so they can feed, clothe, and send their children to school is the very same dream that I had four years ago. If money was not the issue I would be there now. So each day I leave the house carrying letters with me for anyone that I meet or know someone that may not know what I am doing. Along with sending out emails day to day and following up with people. It seems like I am doing the really hard work now. I just wonder how hard the work is going t be when I finally get there. I just know that when I finally do, there will be some very happy people and one happy fiance. I just thank God that He has called me to a place that I had once begged Him to take me out of and not only has He called me to this place, but just so happy that He has placed Hanna in my life who from the very place I am called to. Can you say Praise God?
