NAZIRITES INK

All my siblings look up to me for advice and decision making, including the older ones, meanwhile i am second to last of 5 girls... This could be because I am usually blunt with my feelings and can be vocal.


There have been sensitive issues that requires the input of only an adult, especially the older ones but they will seek my approval first and will not make a move till I have consented.


My Mom did not make that any easier, she believed i am the male child among her 5 daughters, the reason for her assumptions are unclear till date. She parted with sensitive issues and secrets with me alone .... For instance, when we were preparing for her burial, I was the only one she gave her burial instructions forehand.


One of our uncle's tried to usurp one of her properties, I was the only one bold enough to challenge him, I remember him saying i am not in a position to ask him since I have older ones who should, clearly, he said that because of my audacity. Unfortunately, my older siblings were not bold enough to demand for our collective right. They think because we are all women, its okay to be feeble and get cheated on.. Hmmm... Story for another day.


As interesting as it is to be significant among your siblings, it is also sometimes overwhelming. They are not aware of that. My siblings don't understand I can't be there all the time, that i am sometimes scared too to take decisions for everyone, or give them advice about their lives, what if it backfires or puts everyone in danger? what if it hurts me, worsen things or even destroys...



So far, no bad luck, and I thank God... However, candidly, putting me in that position is mostly scary.



I can imagine your fears!

A STORY TO ENCOURAGE SOMEONE - FINAL PART

.All thanks to God and my neighbor turned sis that I was able to come out of that depressing mood, we talked, shared the Word and prayed together.


I was like even when we were unable to fully afford 3 square meals I didn't break down. I wanted to be strong for my husband, and I stood strong.
But now that things are better at least my husband is earning for the family I broke down completely .


I realized at that point l lost the zeal for prayer.


One of the steps I took that helped me out of that depressing mood was talking to someone. All thanks to God and my neighbor turned sis whom I talked to, shared the Word and prayed together.


 I started thanking God in prayers.

Every day, both morning and night counting the things I am grateful for .
I have a verse of the Bible that helped
Phiplians4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And gradually the peace of the Lord came to me
I realise that I am precious
That I am not a failure
I started asking GOD for directions


Do I have everything I desire now? CAPITAL NO!!
Like a Job or MONEY 
Infact for months nobody has been saying hi to all my adverts.


But I have peace...
I have a loving family
So daily I count my blessings and thank God for it.


PLEASE LADIES IT IS IMPORTANT WE ALL STRIVE TO BE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT,TAKE IT FROM A WOMAN THAT HAS TASTED BOTH SIDES OF BEING DEPENDENT AND INDEPENDENT.
PLEASE THE LATTER IS THE BEST BIKO


THE END...

Thanks for sharing your story...

GOOD HOSPITAL NEEDED

Good afternoon Stella and Bv's ..

Please mothers and medical doctors come to my aid. I am 38, pregnant and I have multiple fibroids.

 I went for ante natal when I was 6 weeks, I was given vitamin c, calcium, folic acid, multivitamin and Bco to be taken everyday by a nurse. I took it in the morning next day, I had a serious pain below my abdomen, I thought maybe it was a coincidence, then I took it in the afternoon again, that night I couldn't sleep due to pain.

 So I left the drugs with the intention to see the doctor in my next ante natal visit. On my next visit I complained to the doctor about the drugs, after scanning me he said the pain is due to the fibroids, he gave me paracetamol and ibuprofen to be taken along with the ante natal drugs I listed above. Are these drugs not too much for a pregnancy of 11weeks? I am scared of taking them but I have been taking folic acid before and after I conceived. 

If anyone knows any good hospital with good gynecologist in Awka, please drop the address, I am new here. I want to change hospital ASAP. Thanks




Please recommend a good hospital if you are in Awka and know any...Thanks.
