My car registration had expired on the 12th of May but the insurance is expiring next month. My husband drove it today with me and I saw the radar flashed while we were passing a road in business bay. He kept in telling me few days back that we still have 30 days from the expiry date to renew, but I was telling him not to use it anymore for safety but he still uses it anyway. Are we still really in the safe zone or we could be getting fine because of not renewing the car yet? He was driving almost 80 on a 60 road but there is a buffer of 20, right? I am worried now because we have pending fines he incurred previously. I never had any fine before when I was using this car. Not sure what that flash is for. That radar looks new.

I have been suffering psoriasis for several years and it became a psoriatic arthritis 3 years ago. The pain even got worse/ unbearable when I gave birth and my face, legs and scalp were severely affected by psoriasis. I was losing my will to live with these conditions especially when I have a baby to take care of. I went to see a rheumatologist and finally offered biologic cimzia as I am breastfeeding. After just the first loading dose of 2 injections (200 mg each), my joint pain was gone and the psoriasis symptoms suddenly improved. I was shocked by how fast it worked for me after suffering for years. After my 3rd loading dose, the redness and flakes are gone. Now the doctor is now prescribing me with the maintenance dose which is 200 mg every 2 weeks. Will I have to maintain this forever? Online says biologic is a long term and possibly a lifetime treatment but they are very expensive. Good thing I am covered by my insurance but I am also thinking about the future.

I suffered severe psa for 3 years and I finally was properly diagnosed couple of months back. The doctor prescribed cimzia since I breastfeed. I started with 2 injections 200 mg each in my first loading dose. My joint pain which was killing me immediately vanished. I also immediately felt relief with the itching. My scalp, face and legs were covered with redness and dry skin and after the first loading dose, itch was gone. I was shocked by how fast it worked for me. I took another 2 after 2 weeks and another 2 again. Now my psoriasis is completely gone and my skin is healing. Doctor has again requested the maintenance dose which is one 200 mg every 2 weeks. Do I have to maintain it forever even if all my symptoms are gone? At what point can I stop taking it?

I grew up witnessing how she chose to break our family (6 children) for another man and doing all the things that us children shouldn’t have seen. When we were in high school, we didn’t have a choice but live with her and her new family. She made us pay monthly rent in her own house and contributed to food expenses so we had to work at a local factory during weekends, otherwise, she won’t stop talking us down. Now that I am a mother myself, I can’t imagine the abuse we endured. And even now as an adult, I still feel like I’m being chased by a generational curse she brought upon us.

Recently, I have decided to forgive her in my heart and freed myself from years of resentment. Then, I got a message from my half sister saying how she still frequently brings home and sleeps with different men half her age after our step father died. How she spent money for them instead of helping her younger children and grand children in need. We can’t speak up against her lifestyle because she would humiliate us in social media as disrespectful and we should thank her for bringing us into this world (she did this many times before). I have been praying for her that she will start her real walk with Jesus cause she claims to be a Christian. The scripture says to honor your parents, but I am struggling to come to terms with how she is living her life even now that she is in her 60s. How do I honor her in this situation?

It’s been said that choosing a life partner will be one of the most important decisions one can make. I have to be married to a non believer who doesn’t have a fear in God and who stripped me off everything before realizing my biggest mistake. The only good thing is that it led me to knowing Jesus and opened my eyes to the scripture. Everything that’s in the Bible that didn’t make sense to me before makes sense to me now. I should’ve prayed for that person. The only marriage that is worth pursuing is a Christ centered one.

Edit: I also would like to add that the believer I am pertaining to are those who are genuine Christ followers because are so many out there who would say they’re Christians but are not living a Christian life. Also, please take your time in choosing your partner. Know them well, their families, their circles. I didn’t do all these. I just go for it mindlessly. It will be worth the wait.

Edit 2: I have prayed and still praying for my husband who is a muslim to come to faith (even though all I get so far is blasphemy and mockery of my savior) and I even shared to him the Gospel and shared how Jesus transformed me and gives me hope. Though I stopped preaching to him since it’s creating a tension and I decided to live it instead. I still believe that nothing is impossible with God and if this doesn’t end the way how I want it to be, I know God has something better for me. I pray and pray that he will have an encounter with Christ and he will finally see the truth.

Thank you for all your words and beautiful testimonies. I am reading everything and I am truly inspired by your stories.
