Once I joined my department in college, I started feeling like the path of life is already set
for me. It always concerned that I can no longer change my lane. Well, honestly, to some extents it’s because I don’t want it to be. I really hated “getting stuck” somewhere, I want to go around and do whatever makes me happy! I wanted to live life to its max. With this in my mind, it bumps me thinking about the will of God.
This kept happening until one day, the day I visited the Neonatology Ward. Just by looking, God addressed me to the depth of my heart. I couldn't stop starring at those little amazing creatures! These (the babies) were like half the size of the tiniest baby I could have ever imagined! I remember one, who is lying flat on his bed, enjoying his time in the new world! I went ahead and read psalms 139 that day where David says, you knew me even before I knew myself. God knows his plan for that tiny baby I looked at and his plans are so specific even though, for now, the baby has no idea what’s going on! It doesn't matter what he thinks “is better” for him or what “brings happiness” in his later life.

May God’s will happen in our life as his plan for us is great and certainly the pioneer!

 Contemporary debates weather listening to secular songs is baffling believers. It started of with a gospel singer published a "secular-sounding"video, much worse she performed with non Christian artists. I hear people arguing which was worse, singing the song or working with non Christian artists.  Ethiopian protestant church has been known to be so conservative when it comes to matters of secular songs. Be it a love song or a song about washing hands or getting up so early to go to work it has all been condemned sin. People who do so are outcasts and the wrath is more terrifying if you are by any means a performer of this sort.  Let me put my firm stand on this matter that I think secular songs are of zero benefits for a believer. I do not think they are necessarily a gateway to hell fire as they say so [whereby Gelatians 5 is overstated by many] I just think a believer is so busy training to be more Christ like and shouldn't be dealing with matters as silly.  When...

 Like many raised in Christian family,I was thought to pray in the morning, before meals and be thankful. But it took some growing up to really understand the true significance of giving God credit to everything, including those you think you achieved on your own. At times we get used to God's gifts and think it's just there for us to enjoy or we worked for it.  On Luke 12, Jesus spoke about a man who stored products that may keep him "happy and satisfied "for long. There is no question about the decipline or the hard work from this man. It doesn't say this guy stole or cheated or by any means acquired his wealth inappropriately. It's all the products he achieved fair and square. He worked so hard, he stored and he can live long happy, after all that how it has always been!All the men before him, all who worked hard to store they have all enjoyed thier wealth for long. So how can he be different? You work, you collect your enjoy!  Little did he know it's n...

The way I felt about the issue

In medicine, we have a thing called referred pain. If you haven’t grasp is already, it’s when one part of your body gets sick and the pain gets diverted to another organ. The reason behind is the nerve supplying the affected part also supplies the other “un-involved” part; in simple words, one feels pain essentially on the “wrong spot!” Externally speaking, these organs seem healthy without the original pain being on site, but they feel the excruciating effects of the injury, even worse at times! I have taken the freedom to extend this concept to a greater scale. In a way, assuming what would have happened if the original insult happened on the referred site, whether the secondary part is protected from an injury of that scale? What if the acid burning the gastric mucosa was poured on the back; what if the effects of tuberculosis causing heart damage were applied to the shoulder? The truth, I think, is some of the secondary sites are less protected; the only thing keeping them from...
