I naturally love to receive advice from people I respect the most because I saw in many instances how good advice saved my life. Going to counseling is my thing! I, long time ago, decided to myself saying: Never, ever I go through life alone! I seek counseling!

My Mother-In-Law
A4P Guest: I’m married and have a one-year old son. I used to consider myself blessed to have the most peaceful marriage ever until my husband’s mother came from Ethiopia a year ago to help us with our first child.
A4P: What happened?
A4P Guest: My mother-in-law is a Christian, she loves God, prays a lot and all. But she pretty much wants to be the woman of the house. She criticizes my cooking, the way I handle my son and more. Her intention might be good but her action irritates me so much that I sometimes lock myself up in my bedroom for the whole day. I feel like leaving or ask her to leave the house.
A4P: Did you talk to your husband about this?
How Can I change My Husband?
Early on in my marriage, my first mission as a wife was to change my husband.
Yeap!
I first wanted to make him love reading books, other than the books he reads for his work and the Bible. I mean, think about it. I can’t live without reading books but I married a man who lives happily ever after without reading books. So, I set out to change him, to teach him how to fall asleep reading good spiritual books.
So, I read one good marriage book (I am not sure which one) and I told my husband how the author talked about husbands and how much he, my husband, could learn from the book to be a good spiritual husband. I told him a lot about the book and the author when we were about to sleep. Continue reading How Can I change My Husband?

He Won’t Propose
Some young girls get confused why their boyfriends don’t propose to them even after dating them for a year or two.
They complain, “I thought he was waiting for the Valentine’s Day but that day just passed; and I thought he would propose to me in the beginning of summer but that too passed. What should I need to do?”
I always ask:
“Why don’t you propose to him?” 🙂 Just kidding! – I wouldn’t say that in a million years! What? A woman proposing to a man? Are you serious?
Listen to what the Bible says: Continue reading He Won’t Propose
In What Name
The Westminster Larger Catechism says:
#181. Why are we to pray in the name of Christ?
“The sinfulness of man, and His distance from God by reason thereof, being so great, as that we can have no access into His presence without a mediator; and there being none in heaven or earth appointed to, or fit for, that glorious work but Christ alone, we are to pray in no other name but His only.”
Paul writes:

A4P Guest: Meski, please save my marriage!
A4P: Uh-oh! What’s going on?
A4P Guest: My wife found me watching porn for the second time and she is now threatening for a divorce.
A4P: What do you mean, “for the second time?” Continue reading Only If You Want – – –
Unsnatchable!
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29 NIV
In one of the books I am reading, the above passage of the Bible is titled as “Unsnatchable.” So we are those of us who are in the hands of Jesus Christ. No one and nothing is strong enough to snatch us out of Jesus’ hands! Continue reading Unsnatchable!
A Man Given Over to Anger
Yes, we’ve concluded last time saying, “Anger is a natural God-given emotion.” Continue reading A Man Given Over to Anger
The LORD Sustains Me
The first thing that came to my mind this morning was the fact that I was still saved, that I believe in Jesus Christ.
Have you ever thought about that?
You go to sleep believing in Jesus Christ and when you wake up, you find yourself believing in Him again.
My friend, if you think that your brain or your will or something else than God is the one that makes you a believer every morning, you didn’t understand what the word of God is saying about your salvation, how you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit until Jesus Christ comes back.
