J - My Chris-Brown Muslim - Boyfriend

 Episode 8 of 30


Jesus Christ is about to use me to convert my Muslim Boyfriend!

So I thought! 


After celebrating my 18th birthday, I got admission into a modern university. I met a cool, handsome, friendly, tall black boy who was also new to the country and had just gained admission into the university like me! 


I also met with a lot of friends, including my Muslim boyfriend hahaha (oh well, I was a Christian’ and he was a Muslim). Confused at 18 years plus, I was excited that the Christ in me was able to convert him to a Christian. Like I said, He was the coolest guy I knew then. 


He would play Chris brown and send different lyrics of Chris brown as his morning messages… hehe 😏 The Chris brown lyrics replaced my gospel songs. They were like my hymns. The rhymes were so good that I fell in love with Chris Brown before the guy. Lol 😀😀😀


Anyways, I said to myself This must be God. (My first quest of turning a Muslim guy into a Christian, I mean, he loves me). But remember how I had written from the first few episodes that I had dual religion, but then I had become Christ's lover and was determined to love Christ till the end. But I didn't know then what it means to LOVE JESUS. 


John 14:15 says, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (ESV). But what exactly am I to keep? I didn't know this at the time. I was so naive in what it means to be a 'believer' yet wise to the core! Loving God to me at that time was having a boyfriend who was not a Christian, and through the relationship, I will convert him to a Christian. I keep saying to myself Oh no! We serve the same God anyway, so it doesn’t matter, even though I was a Chorister in my church then. I was in love with him. 


What was happening to the girl who found Jesus at age 16, now being persuaded by love.. is that what love really means? Is this the type of love Jesus spoke about? At that time, I was clueless. I had no mentor or anyone to guide me through… even if I had, I was too naive and in love with this so-called boyfriend… I had planned our future wedding and how things would happen in our unreality home. But everything in me did not agree with what was happening then. 


My expression and passion were with Jesus, but almost everywhere I looked, people were either practicing dual religion or none. It was hard for me!

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...
