what is my greatest joy in the year 2022
So many things brought me so much joy in 2022 let's discuss a few of them.
All through 2021 I was shuttling from hospital to work because my younger brother was hospitalized as a result of an accident that almost took his life but fortunately he survived, after him my mother became very sick and I was so afraid that she will die but that didn't happen so my 2021 was a hectic one but Jehovah made 2022 a different year for me and my family.
In all the days of 2022 no life was lost in our family rather there is much improvement on my brother who has been paralyzed because of the accident and this is a thing of joy.
More to that in the year 2021 he never communicated verbally with anyone because of his long stay on coma but this 2022 starting from the month of April he started talking and everyone can hear him clearly.
The best news that gave me greatest joy was on the 5th of May when my friend called me and said "Am getting married"
I jumped up my room and started dancing because honestly she is in her late 40's and everyone where making fun of her which makes her always feel 😞 sad, so that news was just exceptional because I longed to hear it.
Here in Nigeria especially the easterners we always have the mentality that a woman after 30 needs to get married and leave the house and this has lead many to marriages that they often live with regrets.
But in all the year also brought to me some sorrowful moment that touched my soul let's talk about them
My greatest sorrow in the year 2022
Death of a loved one hits me so hard because I know that I can't see them again in this world and I can't play with them or talk to them as I always do.
The death of my friend was the greatest sorrow I faced this 2022, not only that he died but the way he was killed by his enemy.
On that faithful day he came back from work and was making dinner for his family, his wife had a baby just few weeks before that unfortunate day so she was taking care of the baby, some group of boys broke into the house and grabbed his wife locked her up in the toilet with the baby, they came out grabbed my friend little son sat him down and told him to wacth while they butcher his father.
They used axe to destroy his head they didn't leave till he took his last breath, he bleed to death , honestly this was the most shocking news I have ever had that time of the year.
I was in shock for a long time, I kept in thinking how this little boy at 7 will feel about the incident the truma this has created in his life, I kept on thinking why the killers did that and I never came to see why.
A second sorrowful news
A second thing that brought me great sorrow was when the doctor told me that I can't have a child of my own except I go on other external procedures like IVF etc, that day was another sorrowful day of my life.
More to that to have a life free of pain I have to be on medication everyday of my life and I hate taking drugs, unfortunately that is what endometriosis brought to me, so sad ðŸ˜.
All my life I always dreamt of getting pregnant and having a baby of my own and presently am not financially okay to go for those alternatives and as times passes age passes which is also a negative effect, all this broke me down for days I cried a lot and my mom kept on telling me beautiful words of consolation.
Even till date when I remember my current health condition I get sad and cheer up after a while because I believe that once there is life there is hope.
Conclusion
We have just 5-6days left in 2022 I can say that am still grateful to Almighty God for everything, He deserves glory and praises because a lot happened but I conquered and will continue conquering.
Tomorrow will bring new things so we pray for the post.
