God has indeed blessed me with a bouncing baby girl yesterday 20th July, 2006 around 10.00a.m. The baby had come to this world 1 month earler than we projected but God chose a perfect timing to introduce little Dami to this world. The miracle has actually humbled me and has re-enforced my belief in the almighty God
I have learnt new medical jargons through the gestation period but God surprised my dear wife by showing her the proverbial “hebrew woman’s child birth experience”. It was quick in fact too quick; one minute in the labour ward and the baby king introduced herself with such majesty. No tear, no unusual pain and best of all, the birth defied the norms of medical practice. The doctors were all in awe as my wife did not perform the ritual labour period of 16 hours; just a few contraction, the water broke and she was taken to the hospital were God performed His usual miracle.
I really do not know how to express my profound gratitude to the Almighty God because I am really really really grateful. The whole scenario took place while I was busy in the office posting materials for job seekers and performing my normal office chores simultaneously. The incident was relayed to me by my mom as she was filled with ecstacy. i could not actually describe how I felt. Words, phrases, clauses and sentences merged together can never describe the feelings but I was surely happy. The ultrasound was correct about the sex after all as a deep surge of joy filled my soul.
I begin to wonder if this was how God feels when ever one decides to be born-again. As I projected bringing my dear Dami up to be a lovely lady, I envisioned the challenges which included school fees, behavioral shapening, teenage curiosity, etc. I wonder how God must have felt when we were baby christians; giving us free will and loving us despite our horrendous behaviour and gently guiding us to the truth. This should be the nature of dad so I set out to be a good daddy.
Please, kindly pray along with me as God gives me the provision to act as a steward for one His own. Below are materials for your peruasal……..Â
