It
can be knee crumbling
It
can be excruciating, it’s beyond words
It
can be heart racing, it’s beyond formula 1
It
can be nerve wrecking, arthritis doesn’t hold an ace to it
I am
numb
I am
speechless
I am
in a spin
I am
in pain
I
am grateful for all the prayers, support and encouraging words I received after
my last post. I can’t thank you enough. I can’t begin to mention names but you
all know yourselves, I am here today because you prayed. All I ask is that you remember
my family in your prayers; I am holding God to his words....
Isaiah 43:2-4
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass
through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the
fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of
Israel, your Saviour; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your
place. 4"Since you are
precious in My sight, Since you are honored and I love you, I will give other
men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.…”
Deut
31: 6
“Be
strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the
LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
On
to other matters,
My
darlings, in the midst of my own issues, only me waka go toilet *in mama
Peace voice*, I walked into the bathroom of my office and met three
ladies (one of them was heavily pregnant) in the middle of a conversation. I went
into one of the cubicles to mind my business and couldn’t help but listen to
their conversation.
Voice 1: I can’t trust any man, not
on my life
Voice 2: I have been married for 6
years and truth be told, I don’t trust myself talkless of any man.......all men
are cheats, the rule in my house is “don’t be caught”. I have told my husband
to play safe because if I catch STD ehn....I will show him
Voice 3 (the pregnant mama): abeg,
my sisters, I trust my female friends more than my husband sef. No man should be trusted. Don’t mind that Ifeoma girl, I pity
her, 10 years going no child and she’s still singing “I love my husband", he can’t
cheat on me”, leave her alone......na only her know God abi.....
Voice 1: Ifeoma’s eyes will soon
clear, when the man carry one small boy come house, she will know. How can a
woman be all trusting in this age and time ....no child she’s still singing "my
husband loves me", "he can’t cheat on me".....she be world class mumu
Voice
2: true talk, the man most likely will have a child outside oh....this men,
they can’t be trusted, 10 years and she believes her husband doesn’t have a
child out of wedlock...mba....the man must be a smooth player...
Voice 3: to imagine, she has a joint
account with the man...kai....she be real mumu....I am tired of telling her to
stop singing “My husband can’t cheat on me”, no man is faithful, she needs to
open her eyes and see men for who they really are....., in this Nigeria, that men
will do anything for an heir
At
this point, I was teary....I didn’t want to listen anymore, I don’t know Ifeoma
but I know Ifeoma’s pain. I know what courage Ifeoma has to believe in God and
trust that her husband won’t cheat on her in his bid to have a child.
Why
do some women believe that “men can never be faithful” is this statement true,
Are some of us living in fool’s paradise? ....... I am surrounded by faithful men,
I grew up knowing faithful men who have stayed faithful for decades, yes, I can
say so because I know so and I know some unfaithful men too, yeah........, but,
is that enough to clothe all men with the garment of unfaithfulness
