How I Spent The Main Service Time on Sunday in my Church's Sick-bay. Powering up 12steem. 10-04-2022

Hello Dearies, how have you day been? It's another blogging time and I have come to tell you how a little sickness upturned my service time in church on Sunday. I will love you to sit back and enjoy my tale...but a real experience that you won't imagine realize that really,this life has a very tin line with death.

My morning started well, on a very good and high spirit. I have come to understand that everything in this life that happens has a purpose but this one, I'm yet to know why I must say.

Sundays are worship days. The day we set aside to go and worship together with brethrens. Normally I woke up early around 4am as I do on working days too. My husband hate to go to church service late and me, personally, I like to start the Sunday School classes with every other person...so, coming late is a 'no' for me and family. This Sunday was not supposed to be an exception but I woke up late, 4:15. My baby disturbed me too much and I couldn't get enough sleep, I knew I was awake by 2:30 in the midnight but I didn't know when we slept again.

I had a pregnant friend and church member I promised a vegetable soup and I couldn't fulfill it because she delivered her baby before the Sunday we agreed. So, I decided to go visit her and I must go with the soup to redeem myself. I got most of the ingredients ready at night so the work won't be too much on me by morning.

I woke up and set white rice on fire while I started arranging other things for the soup. I finished all cooking before 7am. Sunday School classes start by 8am and I was just horring with the all thing... My husband had to bath the children, we ate and at last we left our house by 7:45am....we got to church by 8:06am...I think we tried other than arriving later than that. I was happy within me that my husband didn't arrive late to teach his class.

I was very fine all through the class but I started feeling weak immediately after Sunday School. My head was spinning and a little headache. It increased with time especially during worship. I managed to carry the head with ease but at a time, it became worse. I told my husband about it when he saw how I was behaving and he told me to go to the sick-bay. At a time, I didn't want to go but another of my friend and sit mate told me to go and take some drugs.

My chuch has a very active medical team that runs our sick-bay, to offer first aid help to church members. There, they have student doctors, two nurses that work with FMC ,then other nurses with private hospitals, lab scientists, and others. They make up the team and they have work schedules for every Sunday according to their work schedules at individual hospitals. Therefore, any case that arises in the church during services gets a first aid before going to hospital...that's if need be.

I had to manage to climb to their office at the church gallery...( There, you will still be hearing everything because it's inside the church building but upstairs). When I tabled my case as it's doing me. They checked my BP, it was 160/100. That one was attended to first by giving me drugs

BP drugs and paracetamol.

I was asked some questions to know what could have caused the BP/headache, then asked to relax on the bed for a nap or sleep anyone will be good for me as they said. Before I knew it, I slept off. But I was listening to the message in my subconscious mind...the topic was YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. I heard all the pastor narrative about Nicodemus and Jesus, then Gen 3:5-7. Well, all I know is that I felt better when I woke up and they checked the BP again,it was 135/90.
The the nurse advise I take more rest when I get home because service has dismissed by then.

That Sunday was our communion service too but I didn't have strength to stay for the communion, I had to give the soup to my friend's husband and gave him message to his wife. I believe she will understand because I need to be alive to continue being her friend.

In Summary, life has no duplicate. As you are trying to make others Happy, you have to watch your life. I know it was the stress on Saturday and that Sunday morning that triggered the High BP, hence the headache. I had a very hectic Saturday and I have posted it HERE

I love you all but I have come to love myself more... I have been sleeping since morning after the Sunday evening/night own. I know you understand. I feel better now. And thank you for the patience reading my post. I appreciate.
