Before I continue from where I stopped a few weeks ago, I would like to state something important.My stories are REAL and SELF-EXPERIENCED....unless stated otherwise, this is because some people have actually been writing me to know if it actually happened, lol(ikr!)The truth is, when God does His things...it's so damn good to believe it's true. Well, if you actually thought the last testimony/experience was 'too good to be true', there are more!
Almost 23years ago, my mom gave birth to my immediate elder brother via caesarian section. I know most people think it's not a big deal, I would actually think the same! Anyways, hers was actually a big deal...and I would tell you why but won't go into details. It was an emergency(something about the cord strangling the baby) and the doctor wasn't in the hospital, but in order to save her(and maybe the baby), an emergency surgery had to be done and a local anesthetic was the only option to save her and maybe the baby(the other type would have been fatal....so they said) It's not the kind of anesthesia you're thinking, she felt everything! From the skin incision to the knotting of the stitches. I personally think the doctor should be given a local anesthesia as well and flogged mercilessly on the butt.....no jokesNow back to me
She was strictly advised not to take-in for at least 3years(after all they wanted just 4kids so they were literally done, they thought to themselves). Well, I don't know what happened but after 4months, this woman took-in(who does that!). She was 'advised' by medical professionals that the baby had to be aborted for so many reasons. So these doctors with all their intelligence, microscope/stethoscope and ultrasound gadgets had the guts to say the baby(being me) wasn't in the womb plus the womb wasn't even healed plus she would have to miscarry the baby eventually plus she was imperilling her own life by growing through the process....I mean there were so many legit reasons/plusesTrying my best not to make this a Long Story! Fast-Forward...
She tried going for the antenatal but because she was so scared she may go through what she had gone through in the previous one...coupled with the fact that she was always getting negative reports, she actually ended up not going for it. She said she bought fefol(a drug that has iron) and folic acid and that was all she kept taking till delivery. Delivery was just on another level, story for another day.Mom was the one who said she wasn't going to abort the baby since God did put the child there in the first place(I actually called her to tell me this part of the story yet again cos this part just cracks me up.No doubt God did put the baby in there but it's not like she and my dad adhered to the doctor's advice)
Now, the Conclusion...
After nine months, this very beautiful baby was born, my humble self.
Now, what happened to all the horrible things the doctors said ought to have happened? They told her if she did carry the baby for nine months(even though they doubted it), she probably won't scale through a C-Section(on the other hand, mom wasn't even thinking of that and was in no way going through that procedure again). So I ask again, what happened? God happened. The delivery, another battle, something about the cord wound around me just like the previous one.
- If God is dead, who saved me from the accident (the first experience I shared <---click here if you're yet to read it). I mean, it could have been worse, I could have been deformed or worse....dead! Like, people actually die from being slapped talk more of a bike/car accident.
- If God is dead, how come I'm still alive. Right from my conception to birth, so many complications. Trust me, I didn't tell 15% of the story...it's actually not about the story but the mystery behind it, the GOD behind it.
- If God is dead, who heard my parents' prayers?
- What if mom had the abortion...cos it was medically and scientifically legit. You won't be reading this, thank God for His ever perfect plan and intervention.
- I probably might have been a pigeon or cockroach in the animal kingdom in some African country, running away from predators. Worse, chicken!! You know how much we black people love chicken and all...I dont joke with my spicy Chcken!
Had a conversation with an atheist and I wasn't surprised to find out why she thought there was no God(cos of the bad things that's happpened in her life)
How do you even live without God, is that even possible?
I'm yet to be 22 and I can promise that I've gone through what most older people are yet to. I'm not trying to say they've been all bad(a mixture of sweet&sour). When I was younger(in faith), when bad things happened to me, I got angry and questioned God and His existence. But when those things got fixed, I got happy, apologized and asked His forgiveness and the cycle continued. Now, I'm older(generally), I just let things slide...'what will be will be'. I also found out that HE works most/best when I'm calm, so why worry when I know it's not within my power to fix it. All I need to do is to be still and recognize that He's God. It's that simple and you can do that too.
No one is perfect, even people who are close to me thought at some point that I hardly had problems cos most times, I'm all happy and laughing and cheerful and making them laugh as well and taking pictures, being vain and all that. I think now, they know better, lol. Now, who doesn't have problems/ challenges, I do have a lot of challenges, you can call these 'problems' but knowing that I've got God on my side and that "all things work together for the good of those who love Him"....all things/everything, whether good or bad....it would always turn out into a blessing. It's not easy putting this in practice. And this is where God's Grace comes in. It must be difficult and extremely boring living in a world and thinking there's no God. No prayers/praises/worship, you just go about your business...when good things happen what do you say, a wow? I'm used to saying thank God in all situations....sometimes I exclaim OhMyGod....you're merely existing!!In summary, it's obvious there's God and he's forever working in our favor. I really do hope this post did its work on your mindset on how you should always know that God is REAL and He still does miracles. I've actually experienced them, they're real, He's real. My Life Alone Is A Miracle.
