Yassssssssssssssssssss!!!! I made it.
Wooow! It's amazing! I just realized I have not journaled since Jayden was born...I guess I could conveniently say "Jayden happened to me" LOL. So this is an attempt to start journaling again, one I earnestly hope would be successful...So help me God!
The only problem ( as is usually the case when I do not journal for a while ) is that am honestly not sure where to start from. Nonetheless, I shall attempt to begin somewhere.
So it has been ten (10) months of mummying and it has been the most humbling and exciting months of my life thus far. I stare at my son (like I just did right now) and I wonder how I got here. I am constantly in awe at the level of trust God has in me to have given me a whole, beautiful human being to nurture from the cradle. Even I could not trust myself with a matter this delicate - To shape the life and destiny of another. I feel so unworthy but grace thinks otherwise. #Graced.
Not journaling for this long has given me time to think and grow. I now see life from a different perspective - an appreciative and deliberate one at that. In the light of all these, it goes without saying that my new perspective would definitely reflect in my write-ups; just in case you all notice I have become goofier and less regimented. LOL
But just before I sign off for today, I would love to drop this here for parents/guardians and parents/guardians to be. You see that child in your custody, that wee one that looks very insignificant today, you might want to treat them with more caution and love because there is no saying what they can become. Sometimes, I wonder if Barack Obama's parents had any regrets about how they raised their son. With the benefit of hindsight, if they had known he was going to be the first black president of America, would they have groomed and treated him differently? Maybe they sensed greatness in him early and became deliberate from the beginning, or maybe he was just plain lucky 😖...who knows? Not everyone has a vision about their sons or daughters being the savior of the world but trust me when I say that every child is born for greatness - house help or not, old or young. Let children be children. No child's childhood should be stolen from them. Be deliberate about children. Treat them like life i.e today and tomorrow depend on them... because it does. I wonder how different Nigeria would have been if some people at the helm of affairs had a healthy upbringing...ok selah# I promise to delve a little more into this topic. Let me let you stew over this for a while.
Have a blessed day!
Cheers!
