H -My first Airplane

{2years ago-Ethiopian airline}

 Episode 7 of 30

The excitement and anxiety of traveling on air!!!

At age 17, I flew my first airplane ✈️… the teenager in me wouldn’t stop anticipating a new life that awaited me…together with the fact that I recently became Jesus lover. I was eager to share my newfound passion with Christ with others I would meet in the new country.

I can never forget the first food served on the plane; it was obviously Egyptian food. Eww, I said, I turned to look at my Dad. He was not eating, just like me, then looked at my mom. She was digging and eating and enjoying the meal. I told her I couldn’t eat; she said you might as well start getting used to the food because that will be your new menu in Egypt.

Oh, I missed my snacks (I was a snackyyy girl). Eating home-cooked meals was stressful for me; I would rather eat junk than a home meal. Together with the fact that I didn’t want to add weight, hahaha 🤪….

Arrived at Cairo, Egypt!!! {Yippee!!! I said in my mind, Here comes Jesus lover, who is about to change anyone changeable}. Anyways, The beautiful lighting around the airport and all over just before landing the airport was incredible. I imagined so much beautiful life awaiting me and was looking forward to a drama-free lifestyle! Families and friends were happy to welcome me as my mom had told them many stories about me.

One of my favourite night memories was with a big brother of mine (Bro Ife). It was like I found a brother whom I had been searching for.. it was so easy to click with him..we were filling out different immigration forms online with my laptop, and I remembered he was the first to show me how to copy and paste passwords. That 🤣 sounds silly, right! But I always remember that day. I mean, I was just 17 years old and not very computer-literate.

As a new Jesus lover, I had so many gospel songs downloaded on my phone, and I would listen to them repeatedly! Together with Bro Ife. I loved those days!!!

A few months after I arrived in Egypt, I got admission into a private university in Cairo called Modern University, and everything changed! 😭 

Let's talk about the change in Episode 8

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...
