Departure on Faith by CajunValkyrie
1 part Complete
The Egyptian woman Merneith, having witnessed the devastating plagues that struck Egypt, felt a deep stirring within her heart. As she saw the power of the God of Israel manifest in ways that defied the might of her homeland's deities, her spirit was moved towards a faith she had never known. Each plague, from the water turning to blood to the darkness that enveloped the land, only solidified her growing belief that the God of the Israelites was supreme. As the final and most harrowing plague swept through Egypt, claiming the lives of the firstborns, she saw the stark contrast between her stricken people and the protected Israelites. In the midst of her sorrow, she found a glimmer of hope in the God who had spared His own. Her heart, heavy with the weight of what she had witnessed, yearned for the peace and protection she saw among the Israelites. When the Israelites were finally set free by Pharaoh's decree, the woman made a bold decision. She left behind her life in Egypt, her home, and all that she had known. Her faith propelled her to join the Israelites on their journey out of bondage and toward a promise she barely understood but deeply longed for. As she traveled with the Israelites, she faced the same uncertainties and challenges that they did. Crossing the Red Sea, wandering in the wilderness, and relying on divine provision, her faith grew stronger. She found a new community and a new identity among the people of Israel, united by a common faith in the God who had shown His power and mercy. Through her journey, she became a testament to the transformative power of faith. Her story echoed through the generations as a reminder that God's call transcends boundaries and that His grace is available to all who seek it.

Summer in Cairo

12 parts Complete

Imagine being somewhere you know so well. Suddenly, the lights are turned off and you don't recognize where you are. That's how going back to Cairo for vacation felt for Nour. The thirteen year old has been dreaming for over two years of the moment she goes back home. Thing is, home didn't feel like home anymore. It's true that the building she used to live in was still the same, but its inhabitants were far from being the same. Her best friends were acting in ways she couldn't understand. Out of nowhere, she found herself thrusted in the middle of a jumble of endless problems. Every time she tried to help, things only kept getting out of hand. In the middle of all the chaos, a rhythm she didn't understand was starting to play within her heart. If only it remained within her heart, maybe she would've gotten herself into less trouble. Apparently, summer in Cairo was going to be more adventurous than she ever expected.
