Ten years ago, I gave birth to a miracle, that almost ended up as a tragedy. But God. 

I call him Jaja.  

Today we are in Texas, having flown here for Jaja’s 4th surgery and for the past few hours, I have marveled at the goodness of God in His grace towards us. 

This surgery, was itself a miracle. We were given just over a week to execute and HOW that happened is spelt  G-O-D!  I mean our entire community of angels in human form rallied around us to join forces with heaven as divine destiny agents. They have sent us love gifts, prayed for us, brought us food and medical supplies, covered urgent expenses.  It has been a special testimony of love, restoration, restitution and justice.  

My family rallied through to get us here and our community ensured that we were taken care of in all the important details.  

Some supernaturally amazing people  literally went WAY out of their way to bless Jaja 😭. 

I had to reschedule some and cancel so many bookings because of the urgency of this undertaking, but I am believing that there will be restoration even for me in terms of that fallout. 

Ten years ago I birthed a miracle. 

He spent his first 5 days in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) after the most meconium aspiration the entire team had ever seen. But what was interesting is that during the fight for his life, his heartbeat remained strong. SO much so, that had my OBGYN surgeon not been as vigilant, he would have died. 

And then they started listing problems. 

But God. 

So I held on to an image that God has shown me while he was still in my belly and I refused to bear witness to anything other than the truth. 

Until science proved the truth that I knew in my heart. 

Ten years ago I gave birth to a boy whose face is a daily reminder that the Lord has favoured me.

And today, as we walk through this recovery phase after his final surgery, I am just GRATFEUL that we have come this far by faith. It took us 10 years to get to today.

I gave birth to a miracle

He is a wonderful child. Loving, caring, kind, thoughtful, smart, witty, and incredibly articulate. He is so easy to love. And he is my miracle. 

Happy birthday miracle child. 

May you always know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made,  a blessing to this world and most certainly a blessing to your Mama. 

Welcome to 10!

I gave birth to MY miracle

This boy made me cry tonight. 

After 30 hours into his birthday celebration, with friends and family showing up to show him that he is seen and loved I heard him exclaim as he snuggled in bed…” I am blessed. I am a blessed boy!”

Indeed! It is something that I have decreed over him and it melted my heart to  see it was fully established in his!

For those of you who have played a part in writing this love story to Jaja, we bless you 🙏🏾
