Hot or Cold
There is one good saying in Amharic. It goes something like this: Just because you have two legs doesn’t mean that you can climb two trees. (I know, some of you may translate it better but I guess this is the best I can do).
A similar one in English would be: You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
You can have your cake and keep it in the fridge or you can eat your cake and you won’t have cake to keep in the fridge. Both these situations cannot be true at the same time. You have to choose one. Continue reading Hot or Cold
Happen to Good People
We usually ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
We ask that because we believe that there are good people. Well, don’t get me wrong, compare to us, there are many good people. Oh, yes, there are way “gooder” people than me, if you know what I mean.
But sometimes we genuinely ask that question in our hearts when we believe that those “good people” are us.

What A Joy!
“Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. ” Hebrews 3:12-13 NASB

Move On!
One of the spiritual principles God has been hammering into my heart is this: Don’t get stuck! Move on!
No matter what I’m going through, God, who has so much confidence in His abounding mercy and grace, keeps on saying, “Leave that behind and move on to the next one! Don’t get stuck!”
However, for me to move on, I need to close the previous chapter well because the way I choose to close the previous chapter determines the success of my moving on to the next chapter, otherwise the previous chapter hinders me. Continue reading Move On!
You Become Rich
When the Holy Spirit wants you to focus on a verse or a passage of Scripture, He makes that specific verse/passage appear in everything you read. If you listen to a sermon, there it is! In the middle of the message, the preacher will go to that specific verse/passage.
I am sure this is not my experience only but yours too, I assume.
So, these days, this verse is the one I see/hear everywhere and I tend to think about it a lot:
