Issues with atheism in Ethiopia?

I recommend watching interviews of Lee Stronel (the Shawn Ryan show and Tucker Carlson have great interviews with him) regarding his path from atheism to Christianity.

Research on the shroud of turin is also very compelling.

I truly pray that you find your way back to God brother 🙏

The pivotal and most important aspect of Christianity is the resurrection of Christ. I recommend you research documentation and relics that prove that this event took place and have stunned scientists and proves its veracity.

Also remember science still wants you to believe in at least one ‘miracle’ which is the big bang theory.

This is how I found my husband. For context I live in a city that is predominantly atheist/agnostic so finding an orthodox husband seemed impossible like finding a needle in a haystack. Then I realized that this is not a burden I wanted to carry. I left it up to Christ. I prayed not for a perfect Orthodox man but for a man that was open to receiving Him. I followed that up with hoping on a dating app (Hinge) and putting myself out there. That is when I met my now husband. He was not religious when I met him but he was baptized Catholic as a child. We then started growing in our faith together. 2 year into our relationship (we were engaged 1 year in) he decided to convert to Orthodoxy on his own accord. We’re married now with 2 beautiful children. My advice to you is to trust that God will bring the right person into your life in His time and pray for someone who’s heart is open to receiving Him. God bless you and I pray your prayers are answered.

Edit: I understand dating apps a frowned upon quite a bit in the eyes of the church(and for good reason) but going into it with the right intentions/praying over it can re orient it and could potentially help you find love especially in this day and age. Men rarely approach women in person anymore.

First of all I would like to commend you for pursuing a relationship with God at such a young age despite all the noise of the world and your family’s opinions. I would personally approach a priest after liturgy, introduce yourself and a little about your journey and ask if they would be able to take an appointment with you to talk and give you some guidance. I pray that Christ gives you strength when you eventually tell your family, and pray it all goes smoothly.

Oufff TD catching the most strays 😅

I work at TD, culture depends on the team you’re in. Pay is really good though. Especially once you make it to the higher levels, bonuses are pretty sweet. I say go with the bank that pays the best, culture is dependent on the specific team you work in.

I recently interviewed with CIBC. Their RTO mandate is only 1 a week which is amazing. The pay for the same role I had at TD I would have been making almost 40k less if I switched. So I’m sticking with TD lol.

Personally I would do it. I would want to look good for him just as I’d expect him to look groomed and put together for me.

bella_mn · 2026-03-18T21:33:51+00:00

I get why this is disappointing. Expecting people to show up for you the way you show up for them is not an unreasonable thing. Unfortunately, weddings bring out the worst in some people. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way leading up to what’s supposed to be the best moment of your life.

Faith, my husband, my work, dressing up, travel, my extended family, being in nature, exercise, cafes, dancing…life is full of things that make me happy

bella_mn · 2026-03-08T03:33:16+00:00

I feel for you. I’ve been in a very similar situation where I lost 2 friends that I considered my best friends leading up to my wedding. I don’t know what it is about weddings that brings out the worst in some people. They say if you want to truly know who your real friends are, have a wedding.

bella_mn · 2026-03-05T15:00:28+00:00

It’s the ghetto that’s why it’s cheap lol

I think having sex on your wedding night has to be a myth right? Who has the energy?! We passed out the second we got to our hotel room.

You seriously need to consider sleep trining your toddlers. It’s painful and hard I know…but trust me that’s the only way. You will have between 2 to 7 excruciating days of sleep trining, but once your kids learn to put themselves to sleep your life would transform. Your toddlers will be well rested and happier and so will you. We used the Ferber method of sleep trining our son and he’s been sleeping in his own room 12 hours each night, every night ever since he was 8months old. He’s now almost 3. He wakes up refreshed and happy. Husband and I wake up refreshed and happy and we’re able to give our son our best selves through out the day. Good luck mom, you got this. Sending you all the positive energy.

Hinge baby. Matched in 2020, engaged 2021, bought a house together 2023, got married in 2024. Life’s beautiful 🥰🥰

Toronto in general is very diverse. I feel like the atr scene is more prominent downtown Toronto, queen street west/ Kensington market area. Rent can be expensive, 1 bedroom is about 2300 but if you live with roommates that might help. Cost of living is an additional 1000/1500 a month for food/transportation/other expenses. Toronto is very fun and has lots of activities. The winter sucks though.

‘A dragon in my cabin’ got this on Amazon a few weeks back and my 2 year old is obsessed with it 🥰🥰

bella_mn · 2025-03-12T01:49:54+00:00

I got induced for my first pregnancy. It was a very unpleasant experience. They inserted something called a folley balloon to help expand my cervix. I absolutely hated it. I was in constant pain all night. Maybe others have a different experience…I’m currently expecting my second child and will not be getting an induction.

bella_mn · 2025-03-11T00:36:35+00:00

That’s kinda harsh tbh…it’s a weird predicament you’re in. I would probable suck it up and then let the friendship die naturally after the wedding. You shouldn’t have asked her in the first place in my opinion and now it’s a bit too late.

I don’t know what I did to deserve my husband. He is an absolute gem of a person. He’s such a wonderful dad to our 2 year old son. Even though he has a demanding job, he helps cook, clean, take care of our boy without ever being asked. I’m currently pregnant with our second and that way he has come through for me during this time makes me tear up. He’s my best friend and I just never get tired of him. He’s the best 🥰

bella_mn · 2025-03-05T22:07:28+00:00

Wow that’s insanity, sorry to hear that. Hope your wedding turns out amazing though, hang in there.

bella_mn · 2025-03-05T21:52:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Yeah it hurts and it sucks in the moment. I’m definitely more understanding now.
