Shabab Fund Raising

We are planning our year shabab conference, and we needed to raise money to cover all the costs. So the shabab came together to make Koshari (that is an Egyptian meal for you who don't know) to feed the whole church and ask for donations. It was so much fun to see how we all work together for one goal and the blessing of being one team. God blessed our time and blessed us with great donations.

It tought me so much about our church and how people are really feel passioned about every ministry and whenever we ask for help they want to help. I also realized the importance of having working committed youth in the church and see how a church without any youth is considered dying church. Thanks every one getting together to make it happens.

The Blessings of Change

I have been following other blogs on the web lately. I recently found myself interested in what people have to say, I started to find joy and amusement of what people got to write about themselves. I guess reading people thoughts and writing gives me small side view of their lives, but importantly, it gives me a snap shots of who they are from the inside.
I recently came across this blog and read her post about change and made me wonder how our life goes by so fast and we don't stop to notice it.

I used to view change as most of us view it, uncomfortable, and such inconvenience. The reasons behind my thinking was that I had my own plans for my life and never thought of my creator plan for me. That post made me look back at my life and all of its seasons. How often it changes and how often it is pretty even in every season. But it was hard to see how pretty it is, because while I may living is one season, was dreaming of a different season which was the source behind an unease I felt but never noticed that I also made.
I guess, I had a misunderstanding of what my creator thought to plan for me. I thought comfort and he thought peace. I thought happiness and He thought Joy. I thought money and He thought contentment.

Now, I regret those moments, that I thought to seek what I want and not seek His desires of me. I regret wasting those times of my life, instead I could have been enjoying those moments of joy that my creator brought to my season no matter what season it is. I am learning to live the moment to its fullest no matter what season I am in, because the change isn't in my hand but it is in my creator's. Therefore, there is no more fears of the moment I am in, there is an open chest of what joy each moment may brings even the unexpected ones.

Dinner at Jimmy's

Another Friday night dinner plans, Jimmy and his parents generously invited all the shabab over their house and made it such great dinner. We loved the food and the company was amazing. So many laughs.

My New Blog for my randoms thoughts.

Okay, to all of you who are been following our blog for the past year or so. I starting a new blog where I am going to post my writing on it. Since I was a kid living in Egypt, I loved writing. So, this time I am going www and posting some of the things that come to mind and soul. Today I posted my first writing, which is random thoughts, but I am going to challenge myself to keep up with it since challenge was my first thought this morning.

My new blog is called walking on water, and I believe that God made us to walk or be able to walk on water. He wants us to challenge ourselves to walk on water and risk it. YES, Risk it all. Even Paul teach us to risk it all. It is the risk that we take on God and on our faith, because it is his job to keep us lifted above water and it is our responsibility to walk on water and took those first steps. These are the reasons, I chose lifted on water or walking on water.

Passing my Citizenship Interview.

Today was a tough day, it started at 8am and ended at 4:30pm. Running to the train on a rainy day and hope that every thing will fall in place. I lifted up a quick prayer praising him for all His goodness.

The train was late 15 min. which felt like 30 min. since I was on the edge of the seat waiting for the train. Thank God it was only 15 min.


On the train reviewing the civic questions, hoping for an easy interviewer. The train get to South St. stop, now I need to hop on the red line to Park St. then on the Green Line to Government Center.

I enter the JFK building and get in the room with so many others. I tell the clerk that I have an Interview today, he say, have a seat. I wait and watch the people who go and out of the interviews and pray in silence. I can tell who is nice or not from the way they call on us. I saw a nice officer and said Lord, I want to be interviewed by her. God is good and he answers prayers. from about 30 officer that day, I get interviewed by her. God is Good.
