My Recent Travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Thank you for all of you who liked my family’s Ethiopian Christmas Day picture and dropped off your sweet comments. I know most of you don’t know this but my siblings are on this page and they liked it too, lol. I love them very much!

In case you don’t know this, that particular family picture doesn’t represent the whole “Tadess Kifetew’s” family but only 1% of the family. For example, our German brother-in-law, the one we love very dearly, is not in it because he was the one with the camera. All our in-laws, three of our siblings, eight of our parent’s grand-children (two them are in the picture) and around 67 their adopted grand-children (adopted children of my brother, the one you see in the picture wearing eye glasses) were not in picture. I know, it is a very big family. When I manage to get them all in one picture, I sure will post that picture so that you will meet them all.

Some of you asked me yesterday in church to write about my stay in Addis. Do you think I can start to write and finish it all here on this page? I don’t think so! Continue reading My Recent Travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia →

From 70 to 9 degree Fahrenheit!

Yes, I am in Maryland. I came from Addis Ababa, Ethiopian yesterday morning after 17 and half hour long and torturous flight!

Oh, I can’t tell you how happy I’m to find myself in my loving husband’s strong arms and start laughing with my funny kids’ jokes!

The first thing my Berhan said to me when he saw me at the airport was, “Oh, how I missed you my Love!”

And my kids said, “Mom, what happened to you? You shrunk!” LOL! Continue reading From 70 to 9 degree Fahrenheit! →

Question about Masturbation

A4P Guest: Can you give us evidence why masturbation is wrong? When it has been said that between 95 and 98 percent of young men are engaged in this practice and the rest are liars – aren’t we add burden of guilt on the men when we say masturbation is a sin? – – –

A4P: Before I say anything, let me say this: Feeling guilty is a God-given emotion; it is good. It brings us back to God. It is not good only when it has no logical and/or biblical ground. Continue reading Question about Masturbation →

Christmas Pictures I want to share with you all!

I have to share this family picture with all of you!

Oh, what a Christmas! I love it!

I’m not going to talk about the sun! Oh, no, I will hurt many people who are dealing with snow.

So, here is half of my family! The little princess you see is Tsion (my only youngest sister’s daughter – my youngest sister is the one whose left hand is on my shoulder. Two of my sisters arrived here on Monday and Tuesday from London and Fenland and you can tell that Ethiopian sun didn’t burn their faces, lol. My sister who is at the back came from Germany and my brother with glasses came from Sweden and I from Maryland, we got tanned really well, lol within two weeks. We love it, lol. We all are talking about the sun and how we can pack it in our luggage!

Okay, let me go and enjoy the rest of the holiday!

The Airplane is from God; the airport is from us!

If it has been long since you laughed at yourself or somebody else, I sure invite you to come to my house and take one of the Banko’s with you for a week. Don’t worry, I won’t charge you.

These people know how to crack up even the most serious person you can ever find.

You see, I spend most of my time dealing with very serious life issues. So, it is sometimes hard for me to smile, let alone laugh.

But God is good all the time. He blessed me with these funny families who know how to crack me up. You have no idea how funny my Berhan is and the kids are picking up from him very well. They usually make my day! Like yesterday! Continue reading The Airplane is from God; the airport is from us! →

“Hands up! Don’t shoot!”

I am sure you all have heard about the 18 year-old African American, Michael Brown, from Ferguson, Missouri, who was killed by an Officer Darren Wilson, on Aug. 09, 2014.

I cried when I first heard the news and asked myself this question: “If Michael was my son, and if I happened to be at the scene before Michael hit the ground, what would I say to Officer Wilson?”

It didn’t take me too long to come up with an answer because I’m a mother of two young handsome black boys.

While my tears were rolling down my face, I said to myself, Continue reading “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” →

Prayer Request

I always try to pray for our kids before they go to bed. My little one is the one who reminds me if I forget.

Yes, I sometimes forget about it and sometimes, well, I purposely forget it if I’m very tired or grouchy.

Yesterday night, while I was devouring one book (I will tell you about it when I finish it), my little one came and said, “Come and pray for us.” So, I first went to my daughter’s room. She is fourteen now and she got rid of all the night-lights. Big girls don’t need night-lights. Hooray! Continue reading Prayer Request →

“Beyond the Fairy Tale”

. . . is the title of my very first book! Oh, I can’t tell you how excited I’m about “Beyond the Fairy Tale!”

I was literally carrying the message of this book in my spiritual “womb” for many years. Now, at last, it is coming on a hard copy, for others to hold it on their hands and read it! Not only read it but being changed by its message forever! Fantastic! Oh, I’m more than excited!

May all the glory, praise, honor and worship be to our Lord Jesus Christ! Continue reading “Beyond the Fairy Tale” →
