Graduation Anniversary & Some Life Lessons I've Discovered

Today marks two years since I received my Ph.D. Public Health degree from Texila American University. How is it possible?! As is customary for me, I'm absolutely taken aback by how quickly time passes.

Graduation anniversaries carry with them a certain amount of sentimentality. Having the realization that so many things were different TWO years ago – including where I was living, what I was doing, how I got about the city, what my goals were for the following couple of months, and so on – brings back memories.

I absolutely miss it and have times when I wish I could go back, but then I remember how lucky I am to be living in the present. What a joy it is to reflect back on all of the amazing things that have occurred throughout the last 730 days of my life.

 

I'm also not one to pretend that everything is always rosy and rose-colored, either. I do experience a sense of melancholy because, during the last two years, there have undoubtedly been difficulties, and I believe it is vital to recognise this fact in order to go on.

Overall, however, I believe that looking back on this day will be the most satisfying since it will allow me to see how much I have grown and how much I have learned. All of my new experiences over the previous two years have profoundly impacted me and taught me more than I could have imagined possible. I'm going to share 10 of them with you today.

It is SO great to meet new individuals who have a variety of views, viewpoints, and past experiences. As a result, I knew I like meeting new people, but relocating to a city where you can count the number of people you know on one hand and immersing yourself in a huge community of new people is quite amazing.

 

Yes, I do miss it and do have times of wishing I could go back, but then I remember how blessed I am to be living in the present. When you look back over the previous 730 days, you can't help but be awestruck by everything that has occurred.

In addition, I'm not here to pretend that everything is always perfect. Due to the fact that challenges have most certainly been there in the previous two years and I believe it is vital to recognise that fact, I am filled with melancholy.

I am overjoyed to be able to celebrate my parents' 45th wedding anniversary, even though they were unable to attend my graduation for various reasons. I went to them and we had a tense celebration for their anniversary, my birthday, and my graduation all at the same time.

 

After it's all said and done, I believe that the most satisfying part of this day is taking stock of my accomplishments and learning from my mistakes in the past. All of my new experiences over the previous two years have profoundly impacted me and taught me more than I could have imagined. The 10 items that I'm presenting today are as follows:

 

It is SO great to meet new individuals who have a variety of opinions, viewpoints, and life experiences. As a result of this, I knew I like meeting new people, but relocating to a location where you can count the number of people you know on one hand and immersing yourself in an entire community of new people is quite amazing.

Maintaining frequent and regular communication with others will become much more difficult. Yes, it is possible; however, it requires more effort and self-forgiveness when it seems that you are not doing a good job at first. Everyone recognizes that they are overloaded, and everyone accepts this. It's only that now, instead of simply family members, you've got your college mates thrown in for good measure.

Just think of how lovely it is to be cherished and vulnerable in such a group like that, as well as adapt to so-called adult life.

It’s true – this adult thing has it’s challenges. But when you surround yourself with good people, keep working towards dreams, your faith, and stay focused on laughing and learning, it totally rocks.

 

Happy Monday, friends!

“Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” – Amos 3:7

On Saturday 5th June 2021, Prophet TB Joshua spoke during the Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting: “Time for everything – time to come here for prayer and time to return home after the service.”

God has taken His servant Prophet TB Joshua home – as it should be by divine will. His last moments on earth were spent in the service of God. This is what he was born for, lived for and died for.

As Prophet TB Joshua says, “The greatest way to use life is to spend it on something that will outlive it”.

Prophet TB Joshua leaves a legacy of service and sacrifice to God’s Kingdom that is living for generations yet unborn.

The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, and Emmanuel TV Family appreciate your love, prayers and concern at this time and request a time of privacy for the family.

Here are Prophet TB Joshua’s last words: “Watch and pray.”

One life for Christ is all we have; one life for Christ is so dear.

A Letter To My Kindergarten Graduate

Dr. Tinbit (TINA), Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

 

Sweet baby girl, I can’t believe your kindergarten year is over. Everyone told me it would go quickly and of course they were right. You survived a year of firsts: New friends, new school, new routine, and you did it all in stride. Your mom survived too, although I think you handled it better than I did.

 

Remember the first day when we walked hand in hand into that big new school building? I was so nervous for you and I think you were a little scared, although you did a good job hiding those jitters. I didn’t. My tears hit the moment I let go of your hand. I have a feeling that will happen a lot through the years.

 

 I’m sure I will cry at each new milestone you reach. You’ll just have to roll your eyes at me because I can’t help myself.

The tears flow because I’m so proud of the young lady you’ve become. You’re so smart and incredibly kind to your peers. You’re a little boy crazy, too—which might make your daddy cry someday. 

I’m a little sad. Not because you are growing up—that’s natural and wonderful and expected—but because the older you get, the closer goodbye becomes. Someday you’ll leave to make your own dreams and discover your own adventures. And I want that for you. But secretly, I’m already crushed at the reality that will be. You see baby girl, you (your Brother Amen , too) are the answer to my dreams. What a gift you’ve given me by just being you.

Dear Daughter, We Pray For You Now and Forever

I know this summer you’ll spend hours playing with your friends at the pool and in the yard and each hour of independence will make your mom seems less cool. And that’s OK. But I really hope we have at least a couple more school years like this one.

 

I loved walking hand in hand with you to your class each day and the smile I received each afternoon at pick-up will forever be etched in my heart.

I know how lucky I have been to get to see you off and pick you up each and every school day. Not many mamas are given that gift, Ella. It’s one I cherish. 

I loved having school lunch with you. You were so proud to have your mama sit next to you and lovingly introduced me to your friends. I wonder how long you’ll let that be. Can we never let it end?

RELATED: Daughter, I’ll Never Be Too Busy To Listen To You

I loved the school projects and the stars and smiley faces you received on each paper. You’ve learned so much in just a year! My hearts swells with pride when I hear you read your next chapter book or try so hard to write sentences without asking for help. Gosh you’re a smart 7-year-old! I’ve known it all along. 

Tina, my darling, you will always be wonderful, you will always be brave, you will always be beautiful, you will always be intelligent, you will always be strong, you will always be kind, you will always be perfect in my eyes.

I’m proud of you, now and forever and I’m so excited to watch you grow.

Love always and forever,

 

Your Parent Dr. Nebiyu and MS. Kalkidan
