A - Has the Journey Started?

   Episode 4 of 30


Well, why am I giving all this information? 


This is just the foundation of my background. It will help you understand certain things as you continue through the journey. I have come to realize that our Faith journey is continuous. Although we all were born into different religions, 90% of the time, we are compelled to believe what our family believes until a certain point. 

This particular point is when we can choose who we will follow. Permit me to quote a scripture from Joshua. At this point, he needed to choose who he and his family would serve. He told the Israelites, “If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestor…or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live. But for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NIV). 

Ongoing, I will interfere with scriptures here and there. For those who aren’t Christian, the aim is not to convert you nor to manipulate you into another religion, but rather that God might uniquely encounter you. 


I think we should pause here and jump into the main Journey of 30 from episode 5

N - Confusion has to Stop

If you are returning user, welcome!. If it is your first first coming across my blog! welcome. {but make sure to go read the previous episodes I have written on my journey to 30 years old} God bless. Episode 12 of 30 So, after I continued in my confusing dual religion for sometime, I migrated from Egypt to Canada in 2015. A few months after practicing Muslim and Christianity in Canada, I decided to stop being confused. Even my roomie then was confused alongside me, every time they asked me what religion I intend to choose, I was always confused and speechless. It got to the point that whenever I was about to pray in Muslim way, I would find myself singing worship songs and crying.  At that point, I knew Jesus would never let me go, and that HE wanted more out of me. Immediately, I remembered the church my friend had invited me to for the Christmas Eve celebration during December 2015. And so, I started attending the church and I devoted myself to followin...

E - Something Special, Yet Painful!

  Episode 13 of 30 My Passion for Nursing school!!! Have you ever pursued something that looked like a success, at first yet became a failure? (failure, in the sense of  human reasoning). Something I didn't mention earlier was that before I was selected to be part of the youth executives, I was already in the process of applying to nursing school. My intention to study nursing came up while I was in Egypt, but I didn't have the opportunity because I was already doing Accounting. I was super good at calculation, so the teenager in me gravitated towards calculating money lol! just joking (more of like, family decision). Anyways, while applying to nursing school, I was the most gently spoken person. I was always very polite to myself and even to God, because I was expecting something that I really wanted to do!. At first, I was scared I wouldn't get admission as I met the exact criteria they wanted. But God showed up in an unusual way!  In the process of waiting for me to be...

Episode 14 of 30 From being a Regular executive to becoming the Youth President! First time visiting my blog! You are welcome. I already love you so much!  Meanwhile, this particular episode is a continuation of episode 12.  Pls, go back to read the previous episodes, then you will find out some interesting thing about this blogger!!! I became the youth president with little or no leadership experience. You might be wondering how that concerns you!! (I mean, not everyone is thrilled to be in a leadership position) However, regardless of the position I find myself in, I view it as a privilege to represent Jesus. (If Jesus were to be here, what would he do if he were asked to come lead the people into God’s presence) I bet, Jesus wouldn’t say NO!  …After much deliberation and prayer on what God would have me do about the position of Youth President, I decided to accept it. Now, let me tell you, my prayer was not that I should become the Youth president or not, but it was me...
