If you read my post yesterday, you will know what I’m about to write.
Well, did my oldest son trick me yesterday? No, he didn’t.
After 3pm, I was in a very tense and heightened mode that I was scared how I was going to react if something real happened to my son. But that didn’t deter me from being very, very suspicious of him. Continue reading Behind the Victory of April Fool’s Day
I don’t know how your early morning started but mine was a bit dramatic and somehow a frustrating one and I will tell you why.
So, I was running around to make it to our kids’ school before the door closes. And when I went downstairs and I heard some cheering and laughter. While I was setting up my tea, I realized that today is April Fool’s Day.
I mean, I heard them saying it and who would believe me if I said “they tricked me anyways”? Yes, they did, and not once, not twice but three times. Continue reading April Fool’s Day
This is one of the questions married people should not ask. “Is this the right person?” is a legitimate question for unmarried couples to ask before they tie the knot.
But, after marriage, that question is irrelevant. Asking God such a question after marriage is like asking God if He was sure of creating us. Did you hear me? Yes, after marriage, after a couple exchanges their vows and becomes one in sexual intimacy, the deal is closed. They are meant to be together until death do them part. The file is closed. We can’t bring the jury back to court again to reach to another verdict for the case that is closed.
I know this is not the world view when it comes to marriage but we are not of this world, are we? (John 15:19) Continue reading “Is this the person God wanted me to marry?”
Wow, March 27, 1997 was the day the man I love (Berhan) and I exchanged our vows, before a judge, to be one till death do us part.
I was thinking of our anniversary throughout the week but for some reason I forgot about it this morning. I dropped off our kids to school and on my way back home, my favorite song came in the radio and I remembered that beautiful Thursday morning, March 27, 1997. I got home and I said to the man I always love, “Hey, happy anniversary” and I started crying. Berhan gave me my favorite squishy hug saying “happy anniversary, my Love”. I continued crying. I know I was crying out of joy but I had a reason too. Continue reading March 27, 2014, 17 Years of Our Wedding Anniversary!
“So, you said, friendship has to come first before a couple decides to proceed to a relationship. But now when you offer this matching service, isn’t that contrary to what you’ve been telling us to follow through? This service encourages people to move to a relationship before they even have a chance to build a friendship.”
This question came from the person who has been with A4P from day one or I guess day three, lol. So, when he said “as you said”, he knows what he is talking about. So, let me buckle up my seat belt and defend my side. Continue reading Another question regarding the A4P Match Making Service
“As a reference you said that you will ask the pastor about the man/woman who apply for the matching service. But most pastors today don’t know about their people. As long as a man gives his tithe and offerings to the church, the pastor speaks well of him. How do you see that?” Continue reading One more question about the A4P Match Making Service
This is one of the most famous questions I always receive after I give a class or seminar on sexual purity.
The question itself makes me cringe a bit because it sounds like this: “What kind of sin can God tolerate?” or “Which sin can I do without severing my fellowship with the Holy Spirit?”
Of course kissing is the number one topic most people ask to know “how far is too far”. “Is French kissing a sin?” Or, “Is kissing more than three and half second a sin?” Continue reading How far is too far?
“You said, “share your secret lives with others, at least one or two people” and I told my secret to one person, and surprisingly enough it’s been almost three days since I went to those porn sites. My question is this: I’ve been telling God about my porn addiction for years. How come I didn’t get this kind of relief after I told God? Isn’t God higher than man? Don’t I need to fear God than man?”
Excellent question! Continue reading One of the best questions I found in my inbox
A Follow up update on the Match Making Service
I want to make something clear to those of you who are asking me about how the A4P match making service works.
First, this service is not only to those who are virgins. Phew! That is out of the way! The requirement doesn’t include that.
And some of you are asking me question like, “What if I don’t like the man I meet through A4P?” This question itself tells me that you didn’t understand what I’m set out to do. Continue reading A Follow up update on the Match Making Service
How can I go to bed without sharing this with you guys!!!! I can’t!!!
You see, I remember the first day I went to the Pentecostal church. My best friend invited me and I had a dinner appointment with my boyfriend (who is my husband now). And my friend begged me to go with her. I said to her, “Okay, I
don’t think my clothes are appropriate for your church. What if they say – “We don’t allow her to come
in with a mini-skirt?” She laughed hysterically and said, “Nobody will say that to you. Just come with me.”
So, I went with her. The church was packed with people and everybody was singing. The usher couldn’t find us two seats. So we had to sit at separate seats (I guess that was God’s plan because with my constant joke, I might not listen, lol). I took my seat but since everybody was standing and singing, I stood up.
Then something happened to me. That is the only way
I can express it. Something told me that the thing I found in that church was the thing I was looking for. And before I knew it, my tears found their way on my cheeks and directly went to my neck. No tissue paper was good enough to take care of them. I was very embarrassed. With mini-skirt, high shoes, God knows how my hair style was and with a fashionable purse and large ear-rings in the middle of people who were closing their eyes and worshiping God. Mind you! I cried like
a baby. The more I tried to control myself, the more my tears were gashing out of my eyes.
By this time, people next to me started to pitch in their tissue papers.
The fact that my friend was sitting far away from me kind of gave me confidence to cry as much as I wanted to but nothing seemed to be enough.
Wow, and guess what, similar thing after how many years, my gosh, happened to me few hours ago
Do you know what I happened to me? Well, I watched “God’s not Dead” movie which came out yesterday in all movie theaters.
My hubby is in the middle of programming something and he is literally sleeping and eating with his laptop. The kids and I wanted to give him free time. So we went out to watch a movie. First, we wanted to watch “Noah”; then we said; “The Son of God” but for some reason the trailer didn’t attract me; especially the Son of God. Well, the actor who is playing Jesus, kissed Lazarus to raise him from the dead (I don’t know if I made a mistake or something). So, I’m like, no, I don’t want them to take away that precious story from my heart, a story where Jesus called Lazarus out of the tomb. So, I said, “Let’s forget everything and let’s go and watch God’s not Dead” and we agreed and went in.
Little did we know that the Holy Spirit was waiting for us in the Movie Theater!!! Guys, I’m telling you, that was my experience. Ten minutes into the movie, I wanted to cry but didn’t want to cry. I held my tears back for a long time so that my little one wouldn’t worry about his poor mama. But I couldn’t hold it any longer. The love of Christ, I felt like went deep into my bones. I cried. I started worshiping God. Some people started clapping. I clapped with them but I thought that was not enough. I cried.
I made a vow with Christ. Yes, I did and I will keep it till I die, may the LORD help me!!! I cried and prayed!!! I was praying to my kids so that they would be “UNDONE” by the love Christ. I was crying and laughing at the same time. Oh, I said to God, “I love You, LORD” but that was not enough. When the movie ended, I didn’t know that three of my kids were also drenched with the Spirit. My daughter and I started wiping our eyes. My boys were checking each other’s eyes to see who was the man!!!
We got in the car and felt like we were heading to heaven.
Oh, how I wish I could tell you exactly how I felt!!!! But I can’t!!!
You know what I am looking forward to? Not only heaven but to go to heaven and use the heavenly words to express the love of God in full measure!!! I crave that! To say something about Christ and feel satisfied.
No word can express Him or His love!!!!
Why am I telling you this? To say this: “MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!” God’s Not Dead!!!
Please guys, let’s watch every movie made for the cause of Christ. Let’s support these courageous movie makers who risk it all!!!
Wow, the message was simple but goes deep!!!! Powerful!!! It saves more lives than we ever think.
Okay, I better go now.
Have a good night,
In Him, Missy.
