My Cloud is Clear, Love The Clouds Contest #197

Yes my cloud is clear. It sounds like a shout of joy. Should I say like my religious brethren, that it sounds like a testimony. Maybe it is a testimony. It is a testimony because my fears have all disappeared. My burden has been made light. My face brightens with a smile of refreshment. The clouds of fear which covered me then had vanished.

We had just gotten to our newly built home. The structure had not been completely finished but my husband and I decided that we should move in. We did a few necessary things in the house such as cementing the floor, covering the window with improvised panes till we have enough money to fix the aluminum windows. And life in the new home began.

Our joy became short-lived because of the effects of the many debts we put ourselves into in raising money to get the building project to the level we could manage to live inside. You could wonder: "Why did you have to borrow that much to build?" It was the best option we could take when we were confronted with the much heavier burden of yearly rent of an apartment. It was a better decision to stick our neck into it though we knew it would have a devastating feedback effect. But we comforted ourselves with the fact that one day the debts will finish.

My cloud began to turn dark and doomed. Besides bearing under insufficient food supply, my children were sent out of school. I went everywhere looking for help. I contacted some people even in the hive community for assistance. Some ignored me; others abused me; and yet others helped. Thanks to @phoenixwren and @mfontom who helped both in kind and in encouragement. Now my cloud is clear. 😃

My cloud is clear because most of the debt burden has gone. My kids are now happily in school. God sent me help to my leather bags making business such that more and more clients patronized me and I collected many souvenir contracts. My husband's earnings also improved.

Most importantly, @mfontom instructed and guided me on how to make friends in the blockchain, comment on others work, join contests and stay active in the hive community (saying that doing so will alleviate some of the financial burdens). Now I am happy I yielded.
Can you now see why my joy is full. Truly, my own cloud is clear; I have an open heaven above me.🥰😃😍
