Life has been treating me to a rollercoaster kind of feeling lately, an emotion that's a mixture of joy and sorrow. However, despite all the pains, sorrows, and challenges I've been faced with lately, one of the greatest blessings I've received is the birth of my daughter. Becoming a father is one of the dreams I've nurtured for years, so the arrival of my daughter is a dream come true and also going on to be a milestone that has filled my heart with a level of happiness I can't put into words or describe. Although prior to her arrival the years were filled with lots of pains and difficulties, even a few days after she arrived I was still hit with another painful news, but above all she's a masterpiece I'm always thankful for.
Like I stated earlier, around the time of her arrival, basically just two days after my daughter's birth, I was greeted by a painful loss of a very close relative who was just like a mother to me. The news was so heartbreaking and like a painful pill to swallow because this is someone who took me like her own child, supported me in every ways and sponsoring my wedding to a substantial level,her death left a deep voice in my heart, but amist the grief I was going through, the joy of welcoming my daughter into our family gave me renewway,trengsponsorednd assurance of a better future.
Having kids of myvoidis a dream I've nuamidstd for as long as I can remember, and that's probably because I've been in the business of taking care of my sihope,gs, other people's children, and the like, but one thing that eludes me despite taking care of them and spending on them is how they all ultimately leave to be with their parents, but now I've a child of my own, and the joy that brings sometimes makes me just literally engross myself into gazing at her all the time, as I fantasize about all the beautiful things I've planned to do with her and the remarkable memories we'll share as she grows.
Overall the good news regarding the birth of my daughter by my lovely wife has reminded me that life has a way of balancing seasons even when things seem tough. Because it's worth knowing that during the pregnancy stage of my my wife, there were prophecies that are scary being shared with us, but because the solution procured were against my beliefs as a Christian.
At the end of the day I fasted and pray against evil prophecy alongside my wife to avert what was said, and even though I was scared when she was in labour due to the pain she was going through and began to become afraid of not being put to shame for my disagreement to the prescribed solution. Thankfully God put my heart at ease and made the delivery seamless and easy.
So even though the pains prayed from different ways, God filled my heart and ears with good news that was a blessing that restored a smile to my face; fatherhood has been a wonderful journey of joy for me, my wife, and our family at large. So I'm grateful for the gift of my daughter and the blessings she brings.
