Couples Prayer

A PRAYER FOR GOD’S HELP

Father, we come to You as children who aren’t very good
at this prayer thing
We feel awkward, self-conscious, and inadequate
to talk to You aloud together.
So we ask You: Please teach us to pray!
Help us to open our hearts to You and each other.
Give us grace to be honest and transparent.
Dissolve our fears and insecurities with Your love.
Most of all, help us get our focus off of ourselves
and onto You when we pray.

Show us Scriptures we can pray back to You
so we’ll be praying in Your will.
And help us make prayer a natural part of our lives
like eating, breathing, and talking.
Amen.

Sex after baby

Now that the eagle has landed, the baby has been born and you are sort of getting back to normal, your husband has forgotten about the price of the hospital bill and he has started scoping you, looking for how and when he can dive into the ocean. He is wondering how he can make use of your boobs that are now fuller but he is also considering if he can even touch them because he doesn’t want boob juice in his mouth.

While all this is happening in his head you are singing  things are not the same as before levels don change now …. and thinking your Vagina must now be as wide as 3rd mainland after that baby’s head just came out of it. Well I can tell you it probably isn’t and you should not worry about things like that.

The Dr’s will tell you (or at least my Dr told me) not to have sex until after my 6 week appointment and I was totally fine with that. I actually thought it was funny because I knew I will not have anytime for skelewu’ing but I was wrong.

You see my husband loves to dance skelewu A LOT (wink wink) more than I do, I believe sex is like Icecream, you want it sometimes but not all the time because there are people dying in Africa and you really can’t concern yourself with sex all the time (I know a lot of guys are judging me now) but that is just how I feel.

So instead of waiting the whole 6 weeks , my husband (not me) decided to have sex anyway and I remember thinking I was going to die of guilt because of that. It was a little painful because of the stitches but everything else was normal and even better than before I had the baby actually. If you are going to be disobedient which I don’t think you should be please wait till all the bleeding is out of the way which is about 3 weeks or so.

So I would say don’t be scared ,if anything thing might actually get better, you might say bye-bye to your Libido like me but eventually everything will balance out, make sure you also get your hubby to read up on things like this so he knows whats going on with you if you don’t feel up to it.

Linda Ikeji is recruiting for her blog

One of Nigeria’s foremost bloggers, Linda Ikeji seems to have come out of the copyright/plagiarism storm that saw her blog taken down for over 24 hours by Google-owned Blogger.
Since the inception of her blog, Linda has been operating it alone, but following the episode of the past week, she is ready to employ reporters and photographers to work on her platform.

On Friday, 10 October, Linda put up a ‘now hiring’ post on her blog. Below is an excerpt of the post.
“Okay, I’m finally going to be recruiting staff for LIB. I’m really proud that I did this alone & brought myself to number one in Nigeria..really proud! With, of course, the help of loyal LIB readers. I am grateful to you guys. But now it’s time to expand. Get reporters and photojournalists to work for LIB, so I can get more exclusive content. This experience has really jolted me.

“So if you’re a reporter or even someone passionate about news reporting or you think you can source for news for LIB, then please send an email to lindaikejiads@gmail.com. Please don’t send to me, I’m very bad at replying emails. lol. I get so many, it’s hard to read everything. And some even go to junk and spam that I never get to see. OK, so contact us. Let’s do this!
