Shot from Samsung A05 - Clearing the Church Land

Greetings to the great Steemians and all contributors to this ecosystem. It's about a day i had to struggle with my health but still do the needful to help the work at the church land. We are holding our 7 years anniversary on the land on the 12th of April, 2026.

I woke up in the morning struggling to speak out, my voice gone cracked, my tongue bittered like I drank vinegar and my bones were weakened, and I had to see what I could do Taking drugs was not part of my plan immediately. Some drugs may need you to rest, and other side effects I foresaw made me think of possible ways of regaining my strength so that I can be part of the church work that I fixed. I believe I must be there. Not everyone will understand my state of health as there was no sign of breaking down the previous day when I scheduled for the work on church new site.

I reluctantly lifted myself and went to the land with my matchet even though I didn't use it due to my health, but it was a plus to those without any working tools. They were working, and I was supervising and also encouraging them. The joy of teamwork and sacrificing for the church and no dime was paid to an out laborer for the work.

Working in Unity

The unity of purpose was the driving force to the success of the day. We cleared the whole land without stress but intentional division of labor as members portioned for themselves with a target to finish and add more as much as their strength carried them. This brought joy to my heart, and I was highly elated for the attitude toward the work.

Some of the members volunteered for the light refreshments, buying akara, garri, bags of sachets water, groundnuts, sugar, and so on. I watched them sipped in unity and love to refuel their chemical energy.

From the land, I proceeded to make enquiries about the community's traditions when a structure is to be raised within their community. It wasn't possible to see the king, resulting in another appointment for the purpose. I was attracted to a young tailor of about 17 years, sewing wropes and academic gowns. People in this profession are not much and stopped by to appreciate her work before I went to visit a building site of one of our members. The building work is ongoing. I inspected the site and prayed to God Almighty for progress and completion on the targeted time. The owner of the property was grateful, and I left.

Attracted to a young tailor and Visiting Building Site

On getting home, the realities of my health showed in my loss of appetite, cartarh, and bitterness in the tongue. I thought I was so strong until about 11pm that the pain spread from my throat to my inner ear (left side), and I was left alone in the house. Luckily, I managed to step out and met a pharmacy across the road, about to close for the day. I was giving drugs and shaltur to pick. That same night, I made custard for myself and sipped to help me take the tablets.

Went to buy drugs around 11pm

I struggled to sleep that night until I didn't know when sleep overpowered me and I slept to be awake around 3am and noticed the soreness of the throat and the ear pain had gone but my mouth was still bitter and my body a bit weakened, yet better than yesterday.

I thank God because it's easier to explain, but the pain was strong. I overcame without shouting to let the compound be aware of my situation even when there was no one to assist me. Join me to thank God.
