"Sucker Punch". A personal story of top 3 Challenges currently eating away your life. 30 Steem Prize by @charis20
INTRODUCTION
We all go through different challenges in life, but the truth still remains that most people do not look what they have passed through. Sometimes people tend to wonder if we really have issues just because we do not get worried over them openly. These challenges makes us weak in our closeth, but the joy still remains that we are overcomers in all, and God himself always shows us the way out of every difficulty.
My Too Three Challenges
- Bad Boys Boggling my Shop
- The Damage of My Phone
- My Baby's Struggle over Our Phones
1. Bad Boys Boggling my Shop
How did it begin?
It was in April this year, I went to the market and stucked my shop with wrappers and some foot wears, just to be called early in the morning that faithful Wednesday to come check my goods because the first shops window was broken into. In my heart, I was like hope I will not see anything that will cause me miscarriage, I went in and lo and behold, my shop was swept but the floor was still unkept. I felt so bad, so I refused to speak for a while. Just exactly one month interval, these bad boys visited again, hmmm this time they did not meet anything to carry.
For how long have you been through this challenge?
This has been 4 months now that terrible insidence took place.
What difficulties have this particular problem caused you/ your family
At that moment I decided not to be going out to the shop, I so preferred seating at home and praying for an open door to start again, I also told my husband that am not willing to renew the rent.
What have you done to solve it or cope?
I thank God it was at that instant Steemit.com was introduced to me, so I took it with all joy and decided to put in my best to the blog. I also make orders which i sale from home, @patience90 has been a great encouragement to my business.
Some of My Materials
2. The Damage of My Phone
How did it begin?
Well this challenge became so obvious when steemit was introduced to me. My phone started misbehaving. I changed the battery, got a power bank. And one faithful day while i was arranging a post to make, the phone went blank. It was that bad. You know when the problem started, i will wake at night and start crying 😭 my husband will console me and decided to be giving me his phone to make my post, you know its not that easy, i will have to write them down when he is off from the house and wait until he returns before i will write and post.
For how long have you been through this challenge?
This challenge lasted for about 2 months
What difficulties have this particular problem caused you/ your family
- This challenge made me to always cry and think
- I spent money on the phone which did not work out at the end
- So much inconvenience because i had to wait for my husband to work
What have you done to solve it or cope?
I am so grateful to God for this platform call @steemitblog for this platform and to @peachyladiva for telling me about the platform. I also appreciate myself alot for taking the platform serious. I have been able to replace the phone with Infinix Phone, My husband gave me 75% of the total cost of the phone and i added 25% from mu earning from the site. And now i can use my phone at anytime.
3. My Baby's Struggle over Our Phones
How did it begin?
It started since my son got to know and recognise sounds. He will not allow you to use your phone in peace. He always want to watch something and as it stands now he does not have enough toys to keep him busy. A times i will have to beat him ooo just to have my peace but for where? He will forget and come back for you. His father also goes into the rest room to use his phone.
For how long have you been through this challenge?
Charis my son is 18 months now, so this challenge started since he was about 9 months.
What difficulties have this particular problem caused you/ your family
Most times you can not do anything with the phone when he is awake, you have to wait until he sleeps to work or pray for the light to be restored.
What have you done to solve it or cope?
I have been able to get him a calendar that contains alphabets, parts of the body and numbers. But he still needs sounds.
The type of help i can Appreciate
Concerning the shop, I already have gotten a way out of the challenge which is steemit, but in the near future I will like to have a snack shop. Concerning the phone, I have also gotten a solution but I still want to get a laptop which will help to substitute with the phone instead of using only the phone. Concerning my son, I will appreciate if i can get more money that will help me get children tablet for him and some other toys. This will help him let our phones be.
Thank you so much for taking out time to go over my work.
Best Regards
@charis20
Life can heat you so hard to the extent of thinking if others go through any challenge at all.
May God replenish all that has been taken away and the those bad boys come to repentance.
Yes dear, Amen
