I'm pleased to be a part of AfriTunes week 77. I've been MIA for a while because I travelled to my hometown for a short break. Everything was all good until Saturday.
Woke up on Saturday not really feeling strong but I didn't feel like I'm sick. I went about my chores with ease but I had this discomfort in my right ear. I think I have felt the discomfort since Friday but I just wasn't feeling pain. It felt slightly blocked, like water had entered my ear. If I lay down and my right ear is on the pillow, I feel like something is descending slowly, and if I turn such that my right ear is now upward, I feel something going up into my ear.
I picked up some cotton buds and started cleaning the affected part of my ear to see if I could get anything but my ear seemed clean. I had to ask my dad to look into my ear, this he did with the aid of a lamp, yet he couldn't find a thing. I felt very uncomfortable, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't turn my head unnecessarily if I'm laying down because I feel pain each time I try to.
I went to a pharmacy on Saturday evening to at least make consultations. Unfortunately, none of the pharmacists could relate to my pain. I was given medicine for pain relief and an ear drop. I didn't feel better. On Monday the pain became unbearable. I strongly believed I was getting deaf. I was so scared.
I started applying hot balm inside my ear, that's all I could think of. On Tuesday morning, I decided to clean the ear again. This time, I saw some blood and sticky fluid. Instinctively, I knew a boil was growing right inside my ear. It's a very terrible feeling but I'm grateful that I'm getting better.
Also, we're resuming tomorrow and all I feel is gratitude. God has brought me so far and I can tell he'll stick with me till the very end.
I decided to sing an Acapella of Eze Ebube by Neon to glorify God for his loving kindness.. I hope you enjoy the presentation. Thank you.
Lyrics - Eze Ebube by Neon
More than my mouth can testify
More than my mind can comprehend
See I’ve seen the wonders of your grace
I’m so sure that this is not the end
Eze ebube
see how far you’ve brought
Eze ebube
I’m so glad you found me worthy
I can see
I can tell
And I know it’s your grace
All my days I will sing your praise
My heart is full of gratitude
To you and no one else but you
(Thank you Jesus)
Lord I’m here only by your grace
Thank you Jesus for not giving up on me
