The one problem in marriage is a husband thinking that his wife is created like him; and a wife thinking that her husband is created like her. But according to the Bible, God created them male and female; means they are two different creatures especially in the department of sex.
This is a clip from “For Married Couples’ only” conference/seminar in Calgary, Canada. ///
The health of a marriage depends on how a couple deals with their marital conflicts. In reality, every married couple deals with conflicts here and there and the presence of a conflict doesn’t indicate that the marriage is an unhealthy one. Rather the presence of the following four ways of dealing with conflicts may show that the marriage is an unhealthy one:
Exchanging disrespectful words; (name calling); Continue reading Four Symptoms of an Unhealthy Marriage
If you are looking for people with lots of opinions, you can stop by at my house. Talk about opinionated people, we are the typical ones. Five of us have our own different opinion about everything and to tell you the truth, it is very entertaining for me, not always; but sometimes.
So, yesterday, after we argue a little, we all agreed to go somewhere. When we were looking for a parking lot, I saw two young men coming out of a “Dollar Store” (a store where everything is sold for a dollar). They both look very happy especially one of them who was almost hugging the stuff on his hand.
Looking at him, I said, “I won’t let my man buy me anything from this store.” Continue reading Not the Thought but the TOTAL
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you the whole story how I ended up being an author of a book. Well, it is a long story but in short, after I found a Christian publisher willing to publish my book, I had to find someone who could help me out with the money the publisher had asked up front.
After they read my proposal letter I wrote to the publisher, one beautiful couple stepped up to the plate and said, “We will lend her all the money she needs because we read her proposal letter and the manuscript and we believe that the message she is trying to communicate is timely and very much needed now at this time and we believe in her dream and vision.” (Manuscript means a book before it is published). Continue reading It is always wonderful to meet good people!
What a wonderful anniversary day we had yesterday!
Thank you so much everybody for celebrating the Appeal for Purity’s two year anniversary day with me. I savored every moment of it. I read all your nice comments. I appreciate each one of you.
If you live in American don’t forget to “fall back” by dialing your clock back one hour. Daylight saving time ends today; and we gain back our one hour we lost few months ago. Arizona and few other states don’t “fall back.” I’m glad I’m living in Maryland because I love falling back one hour. I mean we are talking about extra 60 minutes here. You can’t beat that!

Here is the English version of the message:
You have no idea how excited I’m right now. Yes, God is faithful to seeing me through the thick and thin of life these past two years. There were not easy times by no means but they were wonderful and fulfilling. Wow! Two years have gone by just like that! Time indeed flies, doesn’t it?
May the Name of Jesus Christ be praised forever! Well, guys, thank you for hanging out with me and thank you for all your support, encouragement and love.
I’m asking everyone who is benefiting from this ministry to support this ministry in every way you can so that the message of this ministry will reach the end of the earth. The rest of my message is on the video.
Again, happy two year anniversary to Appeal for Purity.

Have a blessed Saturday to all of you! ///
P. S. The English version of the above video will be uploaded soon!
If you are with me for the whole month of October, you should know what is going on with Appeal for Purity.
Well, October 31st is Appeal for Purity’s Two Year Anniversary and as part of the celebration of this day, I am re-posting some of my short and long articles (blogs, or writings, or whatever you call it) so that those who are new to the page will get a chance to read them.
Today, I will re-post my number one favorite post of all times! If you’ve been with me so long, you should, without a doubt, know which post is my number one favorite. It is my Berhan’s response to someone who directed his question not to me but to my Berhan.
When I uploaded the video of a short ceremony where my Berhan officially released me to the ministry, someone asked him what “I release my wife to the Work of God” means and here is my Berhan’s response (originally posted on 09/30/2014): Continue reading My Berhan’s Response to a Question
I was 16 years old when I took this picture, which seems like 100 years ago.
So, when my Berhan and I started dating (we were in Addis), I was busy with my school. Berhan used to call me at 9pm sharp, and sometimes we used to talk over the phone for five or six hours straight. Then before I knew it, our phone conversation started affecting my school work.
