“When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.psa 126 : 1,I still can’t fathom that I’m a MOTHER,I look at my Son steady n say to myself so this is mine?all these years I’ve been using my sisters kids to cover my shame,didn’t want to be pitied
“I come out strong n fulfilled but,in my war room all I do is cry to God,asking him wat I’ve done to deserve this wilderness I’m in,knowing that I got married in my teens…
“The journey of 16 years looked like 16days coz of this angel I call “Hubby” a man that will take a bullet for me and still come to check my body to make sure I don’t ve a wound
“pple call me “pampered wife” coz of the way he spoils me with Love, he’s words “we can neva be childless”
“During our wait gave me strength and the day we found out we where pregnant,he broke down to tears,for the first time in 16 years I saw my husband cry
