Constraints, it sounds to millions a heavy word to talk about. We used to pretend or make it look like something that so hard to talk about or try to understand what does it really mean? and which phase of life we do sometimes live it or experience it. My talk here at this moment is about cultural constraints that shape walls and enmity among individuals, groups, communities or even nations. What is allowed to some and what is not allowed to others and a whole list of excuses of why yes, and why no. with each constraint, there is a list not included with the surficial rules that is clear to everyone.
This list is made to exclude certain minds, and cultures from understanding the whole picture as this may be against the flow of operations or the whole structure is build on common interests. Going through this ambiguous, uncompleted picture that doesn't make sense as you know there is alot of pieces are missing and here you find certain minds are in-boxed in a certain way of treatment, living or communication. Secrecy is a major element in these cultural constraints. It is not a comfortable state to find yourself in. A state that can mislead the true path of your life and distract your life aimlessly. That is true, how many could be clear and aware of their surroundings and able to draw a clear picture of their present or future? How many of us are able to push away these cultural constraints and announce their existence as human beings are here on earth to grow, to do, to contribute and to know their value within the way they are not like the way is required from the world. To not be ashamed of who you are, the way you think, live, believe or look like? how many could find the clear path without the detours that consume us alot and takes away the best of us sometimes? How many are able to decide their relationships without judgments or fears as they are not the same? How many are able to live complete freedom of choice and decision making?
All this is challenged with cultural constraints. Your socioeconomic status, everything revolves around this, there are limits, always the voice you don't fit or qualified, it is a cultural constraint. to have part of the knowledge, experience, roles, all are cultural constraint' the elimination of power, is a cultural constraint. If you did this or that to be accepted of included, it is a cultural constraint.
Freedom always comes with a price , a heavy price. With all the cultural constraints, you have to keep your awareness of the true self , try hard not to be walked on and lose your identity and the true you. Cultural constraints as the new deep cultural shock strike for the 21st century. Not each nation is aware of it as it is embedded in our everyday life as regular human being are trying you make their path within a very tough world that includes all the contradictions your mind can imagine through your whole entire life.If you are not be aware of your way, you will get smashed with each feet step on you. That what brings unaware nations to be destroyed and vanish.
Cultural constrains are man-made law that is in a constant change, no consistency or ye/no answer.Lots of gray and excuses , escapes and run ways. i can't tell that everything I see does mean it is real or inside is the same as outside. With the deep cultural constraints strike,Iam shaping my way into a world has no guarantee for anything, for we walk by faith not by sight and that what i do believe, by: Manal Eweis

Christmas 2016
Like a child years passed by, getting my first memories about past Christmas seasons and how the child is growing in her understanding of what the season is all about. Like a child gets the picture of celebration through songs, late church services and home dinners that celebrate long fasting with oil and water for over 40 days. That what my memory comes back, new clothing and big dinners, yes this is the spirit of the Middle Eastern Churches. quietness all around the corners while churches are alive.
That is the outside frame I witnessed each year, yet no good news sharing is allowed the story of Christ birth is acknowledged in all religions, the outlines, the facts no more deep into the spirit of the story and the essence of Christ birth to represent the new gift from heaven for human salvation and what is salvation? and what joy Jesus brings into our lives in a very pure simple way. It is the forbidden territories to be understood or even shared. Many are losing their lives, everything and being excommunicated only for the name of Jesus. How hard that the pride of humans allow them to judge one another without inviting God's love into their mind, heart and soul?
First years I had the chance to celebrate Christmas I was so anxious to worry about all materialistic things and go with the flow which year by year is changing and no longer the same picture in my mind. Getting deeper with Jesus and inviting him to reign over my life. To be my best friend, my refuge and my true companion when life get tougher than I thought or expected, the meaning of salvation is getting more deeper and deeper. He is alive, his birth is present each single day in my mind, heart and soul. Remembering all the monks and nuns that touched my life since my childhood and understanding their sacrifices to live only for service and how selfless they are inside out, living the simplest life in the continuous changing world that its materialistic race never ends. Yes, their dedication of service and teaching the world how to live in the way of Jesus, serving as nurses, teachers , caregivers , management and community outreach to see how to get people together , praying for the salvation of each troubled soul on earth, they are highly educated though they choose to humble themselves and see where God is calling them and they answer the call, their presence is so powerful within the community they serve and the conferences they attend. Their selection of being present is so remarkable whatever is helping them to grow, to be skilled, to learn and advance their services they do it collaboratively, living the true sisterhood and brotherhood within the body of Christ. They are so clever at reading people and can get through you so quick to understand you and read if you are sincere or not. They don't hesitate to help those who truly in need, reaching the poorest and the outcast. Many suffering around the world they know what Jesus told 2000 years ago His word is true. He never breaks a promise or promises something he can not deliver. His faithfulness to us is proven over the years. Looking at Jesus is the only hope you can see within their eyes.
Yes, this is a deep piece shaped in my heart since my childhood, whenever I am in the midst of a storm, they are the ones who come to my mind without a second thought. It is hard for the world to fully understand them as they entered the realm of His earthly kingdom and working on the field to plant His goodness as much as they could. Farming in the LORDS field that is their main job. Farming is not an easy work and it needs lots of patience, awareness of the good seeds and the bad ones and how the presence of the weed strengthen the good seeds in producing perseverance and endurance. Yes, as a beginner I cried alot, drained and lost hope many times that convinced myself that Iam a complete failure, I can not do anything probably allowing self doubt to grow and grow , the weeds overcame the seeds so no longer able to understand which is which and this is the test I have to learn and seek His guidance and leadership to carry me through this. As a beginner you ought to believe everything you see and is being told. Actions are revealing something very shaking my grounds and unable to understand yet.
So pausing is the right action to take, how long this pause will take, I have no idea. All I know is Jesus I am not aware of anything else. Christmas 2016 comes with lots of hits in the wall and confusion, unable to see the true picture of things and what they do mean. Jesus came so we may have life not taking our lives. Jesus is pro life not against it and decides who can live on this earth and who don't. Jesus came with a clear message and a direct speech to the whole world to heal , to sustain us in the time of troubles not to put us in trouble. Many deep questions at this time of the year, trying to understand what does it mean to have life in Jesus Christ, a life of choice and embracing us as we are. This Christmas is different as many contradiction messages Iam receiving within the day....y prayers for this Christmas is to live the true joy that Christ brought to the world and He paid His life for this to happen for us not the opposite.

Not By Wishing
Many thoughts are calling back at this time of the year, for almost 10 years now, each year is different from the other, when our old conceptions contradict wit what we call if reality. Uncovered skies and multitude of unexplained structure and design. What is being said is not by all means each time is addressed to you, sometimes it is a template has to be said in this time of the year , the words are not addressing you and you lost yourself within all these unexplained or hard to understand structures and designs.
Culture, laws, life style, socioeconomic structures all are fractals within the main cell or unit of foundation. By yourself you are a weird structure, not easy to be understood or being who you are without labeling or judgement. Wherever you will go , you will be a question mark or a threat for a foundation of certain design or structure, conflict always exist where your exist, your presence does not bring peace to everyone around , always stress, suspeciousness, and unrest, losing days and years in illusionary views and nothing but to break the uniqueness that was created within you.First I participated in this illusionary views through fight or flight, run, being angry, hypertension , everything could result from a person is surviving PTSD who hears or think that could be the true picture of all the drama around.
As a captive into the illusionary view, body , mind and heart living the hurt with burying all the feelings and emotions under a heavy weight of wishing and hoping everything will come to end. Ignoring the negativity , abuse and misuse lived day by day, looking for a ray of hope within the world nothing but coming back to my cocoon to read, write, paint or draw something to reflect how I am doing at this time of my life. Many hopes and dreams passed by the years, the way I look at myself changed alot. Seeing this shadow moving around , she can't feel the same way she used to many years ago, no more the silly idiot naive person who easily trust and get the lashes in her face after that. Maybe Iam not the only one . Being a woman of her mid life made lots of sense how many women over there no one can understand them and this can destroy their lives from the start to the end. My journey is to shape another path other than the stereotype that we witness through the ages, dysfunctional woman never get up on her feet again.To be her own voice , proving her individuality of each path she takes in her journey.
Wishing and hoping won't be the answer without doing and fighting for what is right. No shame to lose your life so you can have a life you have a choice within , yes, it is hard not easy when the world is telling you many messages to bring you down not to lift you up. Hard to hear thank you, or having transparency about everything bad before good as if you are not my mirror so your role in my journey won't bring me any good.
Yes, many years have been wasted in battles that haven't to be done and yet, in your journey of individuality which is not the common type around , many obstacles will be on your path. Again misunderstanding and labeling are the easiest judgment I get with each phaseI walk through my life. Breaking new ground is not wishing for something Iam not created for as an old woman , it is the call that God is leading me through. Yes, my word may impact someone or may bring others who are in the same situation , trying to breakthrough their individuality in a world only accept groups that share the same belief and strategy to proceed within life, no place for someone is different , does not follow the same role even it may bring harm on the level of our humanness.
Yes, not by wishing as you can wish all day long, without believing in yourself first, no one is willing to believe in you or understand you, it is all starts within you knowing who you really are and this conflict of identity will end and be solved and accepting your individuality and the importance of being who you are, the true you before being with anyone else. losing your identity can lead you to lose life itself and the dynamic awareness of what matters most, no more waste, it is not only by wishing , role your sleeves up and dig deep to know who you truly are not someone else, Manal Eweis

Swinging
You may unable to see the little boy in the picture , he is almost 5 years old or maybe older, I don't know all I know is to share the moment I opened the curtains to see how the world look outside my closed windows. Living many years of isolation absolutely leaves its effect on you no matter you will try to ignore it. It is time of holidays, the following day after thanksgiving gatherings, after all the happy moments to embrace those who value you in their lives. To witness God's love and grace in the moment that make a difference upon you and recharge you with the warmth of its authenticity... after shared cool stories, laughs, quick chats and games you are trying to keep pace with them to understand, since i am not a game person, my life is a huge game itself, unconnected piece, shadows of hopes and dreams.
Looking at the world from my window my eyes captured this little boy swinging outside, it is cloudy, and the quietness after the party shows itself , looking at him and at a sudden I went in a moment I don't know how to describe it , the sky covered everything and all I can see is this little boy swinging in the middle of the blue skies, everything around disappeared from the picture and here Iam recalling the status of my true life, swinging between the world of isolation that shaped its way through the years and coming back into the world with full presence to accept what had happened and accept who I am right now. scared of confronting the realities I escape everything into my own world and being ok that my world is virtual and that what I decided years ago, no true life within the world.
Then things happen and I say to myself no more separation and be present, be who you are without any expectations for anything to happen or even listening to the wild negative comments around that forced me to accept to dwell within my fears.
Swinging won't take you to any stable status, like floating nothing authentic or unique about this. A child is doing everything spontaneously, happy with his limitations according to his age, surroundings and the laws that are formed to him. Yet what about you as an adult who passed many phases of lives many types , standards and experiences why you are putting everything behind and getting down with the voices that are calling to tear you apart to break you down as one person told me, I have to be broken down so others can rise and to be the lamb, this is not what God meant for us. He said in the scripture" You are wonderfully and fearfully made" "You are created in my image" That means alot, we are not in a status of swinging according to His word. We are factors that witness His greatness, and His amazing design within us, that is huge, that fact or that truth is a source of humongous energy that is put within us. We belong to Him , we are His marvelous creation, beautiful creation away from the physical desires that destroyed many nations and many souls. We are pure source of creating, inspiring, living a life on His standard of creating us all, no inferiors no superiors but His wonderful breath within each soul on earth, Try not to swing and live a life to witness His glorified work within you, That's my prayers In Jesus name,Manal Eweis

Way To Freedom (8)
This week I have received an invitation to attend Women retreat at my friend's church, the home that I got baptized and welcomed me when I was homeless, refuge and no ID. It has been 6 years now, life has changed alot and yet the invitation includes these lines:( Let every heart prepare Him room........this can only happen by tearing down walls of self and pride so that Christ can fill us with His comforting , enabling, strength sustaining and joy filled spirit...... and they will sing Christmas Carols.....).
The first words that jumped into my mind : Prepare... tearing down walls. self , pride , singing. God is this another message you are giving it to me again? As many hard times that I had and each time I keep on hiding and isolation and the more I hide the more strange things are happening so why being captive into my fears, negativity and the chains that keeps me captive so each time I decide to break these fears and captivity I remind myself of the promise to give my life to him in service and truly believe that He set me free . So each time the idea of praising Him publicly brings itself to me with each hard time in my struggle with my fears and I talk to myself you believe , you know he sets you free so why are you afraid and you give ears to the enemy to put you down that you are not good at anything, who do you think you're and here I started to break these fears within the walls i live in ,I started to praise Him and outside I walk with chains and fears that drag me down.
So I do live a dual mentality, the mentality of being free indoors and outdoors still I walk with the voice of captivity and that shape a heavy package into my days , months , years no change then I had the hardest time when I had three car accidents and realized again how life can end in a second and still Iam living in the captivity of fears and failure within me so is this how you are proving His presence in your life to allow circumstances to put you in a capsule and isolation till you become a vapor and no witness for His glory that he put breath into my life and created me not in vain. What are you going to do? and here the voice of praise Him came again , so I decided to tell the Choir director in our church to allow me to practice with them, I don't know if it is a true voice or like many other voices not true .The surprise she agreed and here I came to the conflict within me again who you are? why do you think you can do this , don't make fun of yourself so I came back to me cocoon again , watching how courageous everybody who is signing not me, I am a mess, yes, that is the inner voice within me, you are a mess.
Again reading God's word and feeling encouraged that Jesus came for this mess, He didn't come for the perfect , He knows we all fall short and many times we don't get it right and here He proves His presence within this mess. To break the walls of fears and feeling awful about myself and Iam almost getting to my 50's No way when you will be free of fears, disgrace, captivity of all the negative voice around? When you will be free to worship to serve whole hardheartedly and offering yourself for a better cause to praise Him to say it loud and walk with fully trust that He does set us free, no fears, saying it is easy , doing it that is the hardest part. Action speaks louder than words. Faith without deeds is death. To be alive proof that nothing can separate us from being a witness to His presence in the midst of our mess.
All this conversation is coming back and forth within my mind. Like a child is scared of getting into the water. Anxiety , phobia , stress, and the list goes on to cripple us within the world of darkness where we are even scared from the light. I love writing, illustrating, to think, problem solving, creativity is my continuous flame that never faint, many ideas without application , and no application means nothing , everything in the air. No one will be able to break all the walls i build around myself but Jesus , so bringing myself to His , raising my voice to praise Him , may allow me to understand which way He is calling me to.. Iam sure I am going within the mid age crisis in the way of searching for my life purpose , I don't want to waste more time not to understand what really he meant for me? Seeking guidance with no answers, It is me who has to understand her true self without fears.
Again the chance came when there is a call to serve and here Iam asking again if I can practice with the Choir and here the time doesn't fit ,and here again Iam asking God Iam trying to tear the walls of fear and yet it didn't happen and here my friend is sending an invitation to attend a tie to worship with a gathering of women ministry and here Iam one among a group of women who are raising their voice with praise , maybe this is how God wants me to do to be among not to lead , to be a small voice within so many other voices , maybe this is how it is for someone like me, wandering and questioning everything she does. Let your will be done not mine , in Jesus name.

Does Diversity Cause Adversity?
2016 a year of hope for change, a sustainable touchable change not promises in the air or vain efforts. No doubt each healthy establishment requires good leadership, wisdom, vision that is applicable. All that won't come all together at once or made by one person around the whole universe. It is a turning point on the small range and the wide one.
That is the main block for tangible elevating change in the right track. Avoiding the detours, yet, no journey without detours, loops , frustration or even disappointment. In the 21st century the more advanced the humanity becomes , the more each day becomes more tangled, not easy to see the layers between one scene. Humanity is built on mobility since Adam and Eve got to earth, man never stopped moving from one place to another, to keep life going with all is needed at the era of existence.
Many nations come together through neighboring, trade, faith, common interests, finding new land, expanding the limited horizon within a nation, either by travelling, or settlements, nothing has changed thousands years ago, there is still good neighborhood and hard ones..... nothing has changed except how further the two sides need or want from one another. This could happen in a peaceful way through agreements, treaties or relationships or connections socially or on the business level.
On the Global level now there are certain issues, causes and bonds that haven't changed alot yet what happened on the individual level, it has changed radically. Unfortunately that what reveals itself on the daily basis. The little tiny circles of interests and belongings. It is so tangled due to the race, color, identity , gender your affiliation and they way that the other side looks at you are you in or out? could you be of interest or not , what is your power , weaknesses and strength. It started to seem as if individuals are governed by individuals.
And no true leadership could arouse as there is no common grounds or either you are in or out that is the today equation. Diversity can enrich the whole body and sometimes it happens that diversity means adversity to some not all, if you don't possess the same mindset and can fit , sorry your life will be a hit after a hit, diversity here is not good for you, Saying the truth will put you more in trouble , being judged and labeled and no way out as with us or no where else.
Yes, individuals set the standards for other individuals to join in , if you don't fit that will be your life disaster, figure out how to survive. Hard to get to the core of the truth. Say it bad luck , say it you are not smart , say that it is your bad spirit that is tracing you wherever you go, say it is your ignorance and lack of knowledge or say the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time and you know when all these elements gather they shape the cloud that will cover you and make you invisible and if you are visible you will be the labeled one not the other...... accept it or no other way to go.... Yes, diversity causes adversity when your mindset does not fit.
With all what is happening on either scales lack of knowledge and leadership the authentic honest leadership, diversity will turn onto adversity.It is the modern life siege, maybe the media played a huge part on shaping mentalities around the world yet closed groups are formed on individual law formation to the group not the outsider. you have to find your group that match your mindset or no step froward, no advancement and be the one that God meant to be and that requires honest leadership , sincere guidance and transparency, do what you believe is right and keep moving , there will be a light by the end of the tunnel.

2016 a year of hope for change, a sustainable touchable change not promises in the air or vain efforts. No doubt each healthy establishment requires goo leadership, wisdom, vision that is applicable.

Broken
I hope what I experience not only me who is learning that lesson in real live , with real interactions and situations. The word that come to me when I thought to write about what I have been experiencing in my journey of healing and putting my life into the right perspective fro the right angle of consciousness and understanding. I know I am not like before a fact i have to face and many things changed how I receive the world around me and I hope there is a different interpretation more than what i am learning, what made me call this piece of writing broken is this repetitive action from our kids in the class during playground time and it doesn't change from one child to another even there is one kid or 100 kids on the playground. All kids love biking so we have almost 4 bikes for them to use during outside time and there is one bike that let me learn more than what it looks like for each kid, for me it is a bike and it is functional , for all of them, they all see the same thing
I wish you could see what is wrong with this bike as each child can see, it is missing a screw in its seat. All gave it the same name" Broken" so they can not ride it or use it. The saw this missing part which doesn't affect the function of the seat or the bike. it is stable yet for them they see the flaw and judged the whole bike of being broken. So, day by day I started to connect the way the see the bike of our human nature who is ready right away to see the faut, the dysfunction and the brokenness in others and judge whole life upon this thing,
No wonder we are as adult see each other as this broken bike. We are focusing on what is wrong with the other, rather than the whole picture or what is needed to be done to help fix this brokenness. Hammering one another and the more hammers are used the more nails, screws are needed. You become an object to the hammer, only you feel the pain not the hammer. Only you start to believe that you are broken like this bike and can not be fixed or who care to fix a broken bike and there are many in a good state and are functioning more than this broken bike. You start to feel your dysfunction in the world you are in. Start to isolate yourself, no desire to be picked up and thrown away once your dysfunction is being discovered. You come to believe that you are of no use and being kept away from other good functioning bikes, each hand is trying to push you away from the way and not being as an obstacle in their way. Looking at your brokenness like this bike no one want to use it or see it still as a bike has a pedal and four wheels and the seat is ok . Everyone love the new shiny good looking bike not the broken one. And yet, this is a bike, it is an object made by man and man can do millions of this bike as brand new, yet it needs effort and searching to make it functional again and yet why and the effort is worthless, a brand new bike will cost less than fixing a broken bike and hear what is broken is broken , no fix, turn your direction for so many other options around to pick from.
The market is filled with so many models and you can pick one if you want, even you can try many brand new till you get to the right deal . Yes, this is the market of goodies and yet the modern time is scaling the same value on objects to humans. Yes, we become goodies in the market to be in a display window and so easy to see our brokenness and focusing on our flaws that can not be fixed, we are looking to see the dysfunctional scenarios and judge a whole entire life upon that as if we become objects like the bike not humans who feel, think, make decisions , sometimes make mistakes , sometimes looking for others mistakes as if it is the game why we are here on earth and go in circles of endless dysfunctional broken structures within us and others without even giving the effort to yourself to remodel your structure of how God sees you and fix your eye on His guidance to fix you not the world. We bring our brokenness with us wherever we go as humans we are loaded with too much in life no need for more brokenness or hard stories to be added into our plate so turn around there are too many who had brand new life and a livable life much better than the broken ones. Looking to be fixed by humans will lead you to more and more frustrations and disappointment as I realized without turning it all to God He knows how, when and where it started and how and when to bring you back on track once again not as an object yet as a human who is able to accept her/ his brokenness and let God work on their lives .
Our brokenness is meant to redirect us to Him the beginner and the finisher, the Alpha and Omega He knows our flaws and faults, sins and each breath we take either a breath of relief or anger, rebellious or resentment , He made us and he understands how to bring His child back on track again. Trust in Him, the world will see only your brokenness, they will avoid you, ignore you and nothing will be clear before your eyes only God will help you to see through and lead you to His endless truth, He feels your hurt , your pain and everything you are going through so be sure that it is His will to fix your brokenness and bring everything new in His timing. Trust Him Trust Him and Him alone. By: Manal Eweis the old ancient woman

Keep Your pure Soul
Within all the uncertainties of life, keep your soul pure, real and hold no His promises, His love never fails, Sarah M.Eweis
Thanks To The Flue
Have you ever started to thank a virus or disease for hacking into your life and you were not ready for it, and at a sudden instead of hating yourself for being sick and helpless and unable to help yourself anymore, falling into one hundred piece and all circling in your mind was humpty dumpty great fall. And you found yourself in a whole different experience that transforms you within and started to carry the journey into a whole different zone? That what happened when I got the flue virus last February , and when you are sick you have to keep away as much as possible from anyone so they won't get sick too. Being hacked with the flue virus hit my body and immune system so hard and since I am a natural remedies and healing approach person, I tried to treat myself and this time the virus was stronger than me so no way than to listen to the doctor and stay home for 10 days, what you said 10 days? That is like death for me , Iam a kind of person who is addicted of doing at the same time fearful of taking true serious steps towards my life and that is the contrast I live for ears now. The life of fear that I don't fit anywhere so i have to keep myself busy doing anything that makes me pass the time that I live on earth.
For sure this is not a good spot of life any proactive person would like to go through, yet\, I do. So as always my guardian angel is looking after me, I got all the support I needed at this time, my bills are paid, my fridge is filled with food and another unique gift, Painting Kit , my first time to think that your sickness can turn into something expresses what is inside of you and pass the fever times in such peaceful way painting, drawing and writing. Since writing is my first passion. what can I do my life is so complex, like a fairy tale, chapter after chapter is getting so wild , unpredictable or make any sense for me , contradictions, hills, valleys and mountains, less being understood and alot needs to be understood and I have to keep going, this time i wanted this page to reveal my journey since Feb 2016 and how having the flue virus led me to another step of healing and understanding and thanks to my friend who provided me with now two painting kits and a creative journal to keep my thoughts within visually, when you have real tools, here you wonder how can it be? and where will lead you to?
