A mother's intuition, never to be underestimated.
12:36am about to go to bed and d same feeling every night to go check on my son (he sleeps alone in his room) came to me . I wanted to ignore just because I just carried him to the bathroom about 5 mins earlier, then I remembered an incident (real reason why I'm sharing this).
I was so tired one night, my husband was away for work (one of those nights that you don't even care to check if the house is in order just because your bed is calling), then I had this very strong feeling to go check on my son, at first I ignored but then I thought 'never, ever will I ignore any thought to check on my son'. I forced myself to his room and I almost passed out, my heart I am sure skipped several beats because of the sound I heard followed with what I saw. There on the bed my son was struggling to breath just because he had wrapped himself up in his duvet, wrapped up like a serious candy in its wrapper (if you ever did laundry manually remember the way you squeeze excess water from a very big bedsheet spread with someone on each end twisting in opposite directions at the same time). Yep that's how my son was wrapped up in his duvet, till today I have no idea how that happened. It took about 10 seconds to get him out and he was covered in sweat (as in drenched in his own sweat). I was so scared I didn't even remember I was feeling sleepy I immediately carried him to our room for the rest of the night.
It took God to give me the 'mother's intuition and it also took his grace not to ignore the feeling. I thank God for these little mercies that I continue to experience in my life and I pray that the Lord will continue to use me to help my family in every aspect. As this year runs out I am looking back and thanking God for all I have achieved, all that I am yet to achieve, for the miracle of sleeping and waking, Oh Lord I thank you. You are forever number 1 in my life may the joy of motherhood visit all my friends waiting for the fruit of the womb. Bopetiti akololo yio pe baba......
I thank God for all the wonderful men and women in my life, I thank God for planting each and everyone of them in my life for one reason or the other, some to teach me lessons of life and others to help me run the race of life. For the remainder of this year as this month is a blessed month because I am a December baby, the few days left shall be full of joy, miracles, unexpected blessings, overflowing abundance in our lives. We shall not die young, our children shall not die young and our parents shall live long enough to enjoy the fruits of their labor. This I pray oh Lord....
