Hiya
Wow, I’ve been
away for a little while. Blame it on laziness, majorly.
I’ve been just
alright. This month stuff have happened that have made me realize how important
it is to always be thankful to God.
Should I start
from when I woke up one morning early in the month and could not empty my bladder or
pass stool (I had been constipated for daysss). And how a catheter had to be inserted and my
bowel evacuated manually by a nurse, as I screamed like a mad woman and then felt
all that pain afterwards.
Eeew, I know...
Nowadays, I thank
God for the gift of a functioning urinary system and gastrointestinal system.
Little things like waking up in the morning and being able to use the bathroom,
I’m thankful for.
******************
I thank God for
how far He has brought me in life. Sometimes our mind is so clouded by the
things we really want, things that our hearts are set on, that we fail to
really see how much we are blessed by God.
When my final
result was released at school, I wept like a baby. It wasn’t a bad result, at
all. It was really good. But I wept, because I really aimed higher and was just
so close to meeting my goal. But by the time, I saw how many people were
battling with poor grades and the inevitable case of having to do a re-sit
examination, I was thankful. I am not making fun of these people, I’m just
grateful to God. It took me a while to really talk some sense into my head and
look back into my past to see how much God has been there for me. And I’m
confident He knows where I’m still going to and how far I would go.
Sometimes it so
easy to blame God and be so ungrateful. I was so ashamed of myself for not
being thankful, even with all He has done for me.
******************
I’ve completed
driving school. The first day my dad decided I should take a car out, while he
sat by my side, I bashed the car badly. It was a sort of accident. It happened
so fast. I’m just thankful it wasn’t worse than that, because it could have
been.
It was a really
scary experience. I’ve been saying since, that I’m never going to try driving
again in my life (in my mind sef I know I’m fibbing to myself...lol), but after the
hustle for public transport that I experienced yesterday ehn, I’m having a
re-think. I’ll just have to overcome my fears.
I’m really thankful
to God for everything, including you guys that stop by to read and/or comment and my new followers.
:)
Thanks for
stopping by.
Congrats on your results!
ReplyDeleteThere are really many things in life to be grateful to God for that we sometimes over look and take for granted. Until something hits us square in the face and make us realise this.

Wow! you really have a lot to be thankful for. I can't imagine the pain of having a catheter through the urinals o. I'm glad you're a lot better and have more things to be thankful for. When we thank God for the breath of life, He supplies us with the bread of life. If we cannot think, we cannot thank.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog!

Chaii it was painful!! Before I was taken to the hospital, I had it in the back of my mind that surely, I would need to have a catheter inserted. But, the reality of things only hit me when I saw the Doctor unwrapping the catheter. I screamed before the insertion sef..just the thought of it. I was like, "chaii, this pain must be just like that of childbirth"...lol
DeleteJust happy and thankful that it's over.
"When we thank God for the breath of life, He supplies us with the bread of life. If we cannot think, we cannot thank."..... Yeah, true.. you couldn't have said it better.
I'm grinning from ear to ear now...lol..Thanks!
Congratulations on the results!

IN all things, THROUGH all things, Not FOR all things, In and Through them I am thankful to my PapaGod. Thanks Ay, for reminding me again to be thankful. Regardless.
ReplyDeleteAhhh.....driving. Don't be like me my dear, get back behind that wheel......and quickly too.
I am thankful to Him too... :) I'm happy this served as a reminder for you.
DeleteHmmm...driving. *sigh* I will get back to it soon. Thanks for the advice.
One time, while I was in secondary school, I had a massive case of constipation. It lasted for over a week, with fellow students offering all kinds of remedies (oranges, beans, lots of water, put Robb in your anus!) When I was finally able to go home (I was in a boarding school) they still tried putting me on a diet of vegetables, mostly ugwu. When we went to the hospital, the doctor first stuck his hand up my ass (a man doctor!), then the verdict was they'd have to do an enema. It was painful and highly embarrassing, so I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your results!
Wow!!!
DeleteI was constipated for five days. When the doctor, also a man in my case, put his hand in there, he decided to go for manual evacuation instead of do an enema.
Yeah, painful and highly embarrassing...yuck.. sorry about your constipation, though it was a long time..lol.. Feel the pain you must have felt too.
Thanks so much!!
I'm glad you stopped by..:)

It always takes a situation to bring someone closer to God and you don't appreciate the little things until you don't have them anymore. I am happy that you are praising GOD THROUGH your circumstance because he is the only way you will reach your full blessing! Stay strong my dear, you can do it!
