We lost a child...


8 months after having my daughter She was diagnosed with an incurable genetic disease called Spinal muscular Atrophy(SMA)
What does that even mean?
I thought the doctors were mistaken
It could not have been my child they were talking about..
There was no cure and the prognosis was so bad..
In 2012 my Journey of faith began...
I believed God for her healing..
I rejected the report of the doctors and I was so confident that God would change the story.
I envisioned her on her wedding day and I held unto hope.
I was a crazy woman and the doctors and health professionals got tired of me professing my faith in God.

We prayed,We confessed,We praised,The church prayed but on the 23rd of April 2013.Our beautiful daughter passed at 16months of age.

How do you survive such a traumatic experience?
How does that impact your perception of God?
Why Would God allow that happen?

I have over the years come to realise that God is still God inspite of what we go through and His love for us is undeniable.
He allows us go through some experiences Even though it hurts him to see us hurt.
We may never truly understand why but we choose to trust God regardless that in itself is Faith..Faith absolute believe and trust that God is in control,He knows what He is doing and It would all work together for my Good.

There is always purpose in our pain.
5 years on..I speak to people every day who are going through the loss of a child.
God has graced me to encourage and stand with others as the navigate through their season of loss.
I have been there and I am not just surviving but thriving.
Through my pain a ministry has been birthed.
This is who I am...An encourager and uplifter.

What pain point in your life have you encountered.
Have you found purpose in it?
Do not waste your pain..Use it to God's glory.
Do not hide your scars.The things you want to hide,forget,move on from are the things God wants to Use.
 Rise Up from pain into Purpose.

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

Before the novelty of the new year wears off Let me take time to welcome you to 2015 and wish you a great year.. I so love a new year,it is a constant reminder of the Kind of God we serve.. who gives us another opportunity To start again,dream again,run again..regardless of what May or may not have happened in the past year.. Permit me to take a slow ride down memory lane as I look back at the highlight of my year 2014... I must look back so that I can appreciate  from whence God has brought me and where he is taking me to. I must look back lest I take for granted all he has done for me. I must look back so when the enemy comes to lie to me that God hasn't been good I can count my blessings and make My boast in the Lord. 2years ago after the loss of my daughter I found out that there was a 50/50 chance that the next child I conceived  was also going to die. I remember the consultant looking at I and my husband with a very sad face as he told ...

THANKSGIVING..

I have never had to struggle for want of what to write but I have literally spent the past minutes just staring at my screen.... where do I start from is the issue at hand How do I compress the faithfulness of GOD to me in just a post...hmmmm.. I turn 28 today..yet it seems I have been here longer.. I marvel at the quality and the richness of my life.. The wealth of experience and all that God has invested in me... For all his many blessings,For his favour and his Presence  Lord for all these and more..I say thank you I woke up today with gratitude,with a heart full of praise...God has been Good to me.. I take a walk down memory lane and I go back 15 years  to a time when I first accepted Jesus. What I am most grateful for is this decision I made to follow hard after JESUS A lot of times I failed Him,strayed away,messed up,blew my chances But His mercy never ceased and  I kept seeking and running after him.. I have come a long way 15 years later,I still l...

She would have been 6 today

She would have been 6 today.... I can only imagine... The feeling I felt when I held her for the 1st time... My first born child,Very surreal I couldn’t believe such a beautiful gift had been given to me. Little did I know that this gift would change my life, our lives forever. She would have been 6 today... As I look back on all that has happened this past 6years My heart is truly full of gratitude. That God chose to enrich our lives with this child That God chose to trust us with this experience I would never have thought in my wildest dreams as I shared the news of my pregnancy with my dear husband that summer of 2011, that months after her birth we would be confronted with news that our precious perfect gift from God had an incurable Genetic condition and that she was going to die. How do you process that... How do you get on your knees and trust God through that How do you still love and serve God in spite of this... How do you deal with the questions,rage,pain,h...
