A Letter to My Unborn Child - I will meet you someday❣

A Letter to My Unborn Child - I will meet you someday❣

Dear baby Joel Josiah/ Zemira-ann,

It is imperative that you know that you were purposed to be here even before your daddy meets your mommy and makes her his wife. I want you to know that, even though the doctors have foreseen challenges ahead and the possibilities of not carrying you, I love you immensely and I can’t wait to meet you. I have been praying for your future generation. I write this letter with much joy and anticipation in my heart. You will be the reason many will have renewed hope in our Saviour. Your birth and life will be a living testimony of the goodness and glory of God. Your heartbeat will represent the very sacrifice God made when he sent his son to die for our sins, that his life, much like yours, will be a testimony of God’s love to mankind, his grace and sovereignty. You will grow up in the likeness and wisdom of God like Samuel. Like David, I pray you will grow to seek and hunger after God’s righteousness, to please the Lord in all areas of your life. The world will try to teach you otherwise and try to convince you that God isn’t real. However, I pray that with each breath you’ll take, you will be reminded that you were like water turned to wine, a miracle that only Jesus Christ himself could have done. I pray that each time your heart beats; it will pump the blood of truth, righteousness and a constant reminder that you don’t belong to yourself. Your mommy will continue to live and serve Jesus because her life and yours depends on it. I will use this one life to bring glory to our living hope, in His strength and might. It might take years before you are here but remember you are not a mistake but a life filled with great purpose. Like Sarah, your mommy will remain faithful to the God of Abraham. Like Zacharias who prayed, the Lord will answer your father's prayer for you and remind us that we will have joy and gladness and many will rejoice at your birth.  Like Hannah and Rachel, I will remain prayerful and hope that one day my story will read, “…and God remembered Shantana…”


With unconditional Love and an expectant heart ❤ 

Mommy

My Experience with Fibroids and Learning about Endometriosis

Fibroids and Endometriosis In April 2017, after bleeding in between periods, I found out I had 3 fibroids measuring 1.7 cm, 4.7 cm and 5.7 cm and a small cyst on my left ovary. Did I know what they were? Of course not! The doctor went further to enquire about my family planning timeline as he encouraged me to get pregnant within a year and then proceed to remove them within the next 2-3 years.  So first things first, what are fibroids? Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb (uterus). The growths are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue and vary in size. Having a child isn't an option as I am an unmarried Christian woman which means sex outside of marriage is a sin. I made the decision to engage in watchful waiting for the remainder of the year. How fast could they possibly grow within a year? So let us fast forward to January 2018. I realized my tummy was protruding like that of a woman in her second trimester of pregnancy, I was unab...

Why I removed my Locks

On January 1, 2018, 9:59 p.m., I sat in my mother's living room blank. This was rather strange for me because while I don't usually write new year resolutions, I usually know what I wanted to achieve. But not this year, I was broken and empty, I began to do the only thing my mind could process...pray. This was the exact prayer I said that night (I wrote it in my phone). "I have started this year on "E". I have no goals, plans or expectations. The only thing I have is my hope. More than ever, however the next few months of this life manifest itself, I will be sure and confident that it is the Lord's doing. I belong to you and no one else Lord - do with my life what only you can - to your glory and honour." It was a few days after this prayer, I found out I would need to do surgery. You can read about this experience in the blog entitled " My experience with Fibroids and learning about Endometriosis ". "Do not conform to the patt...

Rejected by Man: Re-directed to God

Part 1 - A love Letter to Christians bruised by Rejection What is life without pain, disappointment, rejection and sufferings? Absolutely nothing! It is from the angle of rejection that I am encouraged and led to write this blog post. My Experience There is a deep, lingering, unexplained pain and seemingly unbearable ache that comes with being rejected. I know this pain oh so well after feeling rejected from past relationships ending, after feeling rejected by God when I found out about Endometriosis and the havoc it wrecks in my body and fertility, having close friendships ending pre-maturely and when my father decided he didn’t want to be a part of our family anymore and walked out on us. All of this happened in one year. The purpose of sharing this is to identify with you and let you know that you are not alone. We may not have similar issues but I have an idea how you are feeling and most importantly, God does too. We often assess ourselves to see if and how we have co...
