@All, goody goody moringus!

Its been a while but Ȋ̝̊̅ decided to come out of hibernation because of Alwaysbaby, as Ȋ̝̊̅ read along though Ȋ̝̊̅ discovered that all the grounds hv bn fully covered. Nuttin more to say just that..."Ȋ̝̊̅ love u Sis!" and a quiet voice within tells me "Ur (Alwaystrue) time is nigh" u r in Baba's schedule.

@tami&tara, wipe ur tears Sis! Ȋ̝̊̅ don't know how long u hv waited on the Lord, for me it was 6 yrs in october. To some dt is a verrrry long time but to others here it is like the early hours of their wait so far. In the early part of my marriage, Ȋ̝̊̅ saw "red". In service Ȋ̝̊̅ calculated how long it took newly weds to get pregnant while Ȋ̝̊̅ waited. Very soon they startd doing 2nd kids , 2nd kids grew up and were followed by 3rd kids and Ȋ̝̊̅ still wait! Early on each new baby caused me sooo much pain and Ȋ̝̊̅ withdrew into my shell and then each sermon on prayer made me weep and when other members sang with joy about Baba's miracles, Ȋ̝̊̅ walked briskly outside to cry my eyes out because Ȋ̝̊̅ wonder y HE has refused to answer my prayers.

With time however, Ȋ̝̊̅ have realised that no doctor can achieve the miracle of my pregnancy without Baba. Ȋ̝̊̅ have also realised that b4 we can get high quality gold, it has to pass through a hot furnace.

Gradually, Ȋ̝̊̅ started seeing newborns, not as enemies but as angels through whom God may bless me. Ȋ̝̊̅ started to ask new mums how they cope with the sleepless nights. Ȋ̝̊̅ started to pitch in to lighten their burden by carrying the babies while in service so they can rest a bit. Now the kids flock around me and DH and sometimes new memebers ask DH how are d kids and when he says we don't have any yet, they are and ask what about those ones dt r always with ur wife?

tami&tara, it doesn't get painless but sometimes d burden seems lighter but we NEVER forget that our prayers r yet unanswered. The tears may fall less often but our hearts r still heavy. We may not think about it every minuit of every day but we do still think about it. Ȋ̝̊̅ guess what helps Is the fact that we have indeed pushed our burdens on the Lord, but for the seemingly strong ones, we still breakdown now and then, d secret is dt when we grieve, we do not do so as those without hope.

Cheerup Sis! "Ȋ̝̊̅ love u and it will get better" however my prayer for u is dt Baba answers u speedily IJMN-Amen


@Gen Buhari, congratulations on your baby and Ȋ̝̊̅ pray for the good health of DW.

Ȋ̝̊̅ dn't know y anybody has not said this and Ȋ̝̊̅ hope Ȋ̝̊̅ am not breaking an unspoken code of conduct but let me say it and hope Ȋ̝̊̅ do not offend.

Ur DW wants a son cos u only hv girls Ȋ̝̊̅ believe, hope Ȋ̝̊̅ am not making a mistake. While she is happy about the safe delivery, she may still be sad about d baby's se.x Please, Ȋ̝̊̅ hv ds 2 say but hope u'll not be offended. Sometimes we pray 4 certain things but it doesn't happen because it is not God's will for us. Maybe it is God's will for u to have strappling and wonderful Son-in-laws.

Sometimes wives fight desperately for something not because D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ want it but because D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ want to satisfy the unspoken yet believed desires of their hubbies. Pls ask urself if u r subconsciously showing DW dt u want a male child or if it is members of ur extended family dt is doing so. It may also be her friends, extended family or neighbours. The reason Ȋ̝̊̅ dare to say this is dt many women have lost their lives during childbirth or pregnancy all because D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ were searching for a particular se.x U will agree with me that ds was a difficult pregnanacy for her.

Dear Brother, only u can protect her from herself. It is possible that she wants a male by all means because she wants to satisfy u. It is upto u to convince her that u r satisfied with ur kids irrespective of their sex. Interestingly, u might both be pleasantly surprised at an unplanne pg dt ends up being a boy!

Once again, Ȋ̝̊̅ express my deep and sincere apology if Ȋ̝̊̅ have offended u. God Bless u and ur family

@All, am sorry for the long post. Wishing all of us in God's waiting room speedy attention ds 2014

Congratulations @GenB, speedy recovery and discharge to dem both..
@AlwaysT, my favorite poster.. The God of strange acts has remembered U. Get ready for ur harvest is here.
@All in d waiting room, dont give up. He'll visit us all sooner dan we expect/think.

Congrats Gen B on the arrival of your baby. May God be praised. I pray for dw's speedy recovery.

Hello all,
Please read this devotional for spiritual upliftment:

'...Your heavenly Father feeds them...' Matthew 6:26


A sparrow. Jesus said: 'Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to Him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?...These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.' (Matthew 6:26-33) If you need some more Scriptural promises to stand on, here they are: 'Fear the Lord, you His godly people, for those who fear Him will have all they need.' (Psalm 34:9) 'Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on the earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house...He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.' (Psalm 112:1-7) God recorded these promises in His Word so that you could read them over and over, and in reading them, rise above worry and live your life with joy and confidence.


SoulFood: Job 18-20, Matt 1:1-17, Ps 47, Ecc 10:1-4

This is the Word for Today

@zezzy, yes. The word of God is true

@Uteh, Lol. Yes o Dr Uteh, no shakement. I love that faith. Once a baby stayed over at my place with his sister and his pampers finished. I just opened one I had bought a while back and used for him. WHat you said is so true about BOLD FAITH. Abraham and Sarah were calling themselves such names by changing from Abram and Sarai irrespective of people laughing at them or not. When you have hope you can never be ashamed, Let them laugh in scorn now, they will still laugh in shock when God dazes us. I need to go and stock up more on baby things as I have children over from time to time, I also get party packs from mothers.

@tamitara, Lizzyslaws message was GBAM! She hit the nail on the head. It is not about being strong because we are not strong on our own, the joy and hope we have in God is what strengthens us. Besides you can chose to be happy. If anyone was to know she will have to wait for more than 3 years before she has a child, would she do that with a long unhappy face or be joyful irrespective? Our life on earth is to praise God o, never compromise that for anything. God knows what is best for us and makes all things beautiful at the set time. All our times may not be the same. Hugs dear. Do not be downcast. Set your hope on God.

@joybik, @Godsgrace Amen. It is settled. It is good to tear up once in a while but never out of hopelessness but actually tears of hope. The tears I cried were that of hope.

@Hawtmummie, fall your hand ke?! I fit? I no fit o LOL. Neither was I falling anyones hand o. I just tear up alittle so you guys go know say na blood i get for my veins not steel o. Remember Jesus wept and also when he was about to be crucified he was sorrowful, so understand we are human but remember Jesus never despaired. WHen we ask fro strength, the angels are sent to make everything easy for us.

@cjnone, AMEN! Yes you saw well. Na 30/30 vision you get o. Nothing do you at all. We will rejoice more.

@IyaEjima, Yes oooooooooo! Amen. It is our season jare.

@Lizzyslaw, you have spoken well. Let us be thankful always. Thanks for coming out because of me. We need to keep looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Amen and thank you. All this will make the testimony sweeter.

@Nechebaby, @Rute, @Honeypie @enkaay @Pink @santagelo, @Godiya, @skimpychick and all (no vex if I no call your name) Thanks for your messages and encouragements. Keep the faith. Nothing should ever make you despair. Nothing! Abraham held on and He was counted as righteous, show your rightesouness in this wait by believing the word of God concerning you. That is all He wants...Believe Him and the rest is easy.

@Tbaby4real, Awwww thanks so much dear. Yes my dear, you do not know how dazed I am at you. You are an inspiration to many. Not only you but many other mums who went through waht you did and yet are strong. It is not easy I tell you I know. God will make you laugh in shock at His work in your life.

@Genbuhari CONGRATS TO MADAM AND YOU! The beautiful daughter the Lord has blessed you with will serve the Lord and be a source of continuous joy to you. I thought this was just your first till I saw @Lizzy's message. This is a great addition to your family. My madam receive more strength to pull through and be revived. Amen.

@Genbuari,Congratulations on the arrival of ur cute baby girl! Extend our greetings to ur DW and we pray for her speedy recovery.

@Lizzylaw,thanks for those words,they are encouraging.

@alwaystrue,thanks.

@all,I hail Ooooo.

Goodday momas, momas to be and all TTC... Wanna ask, Is it normal to always dream of carrying a baby in the dream, am 15weeks gone and have had this dream twice... Dont know if its cos of my joy of being preggy or a spiritual thing i nid to look into... Any advice will be appreciated...

i already spoke to my pastor and he said i shouldn't worry... But am worried cos i nvr dreamt of such b4, pls anyone who had similar dreams?

@Gen Buhari, Congratulations. God will strenghten madam, thank God for safe delivery.

@All, am glad we were lifted by d post.

@Honiepie, thanks, though we've been off those bsm, acv things since dis month. We need d help and mercy of God o. It is only d Almighty God dat enables conception no matter what we do. Ruth 4:13 says - ...... and Lord enabled her to conceive. The Blood of Jesus will help us to prevail over every obstacle.

@tami & tara, stay on d word of God and look stedfastly on Jesus, remember Peter was doing well walking on d water, until he took his eyes off Jesus and looked at d storm, then he started to sink.

Complements of the season to all our mothers

Yay!!! A new baby in the house @GenBuhari, congrats on the birth of ur little princess.

Congrats GenB!!! Wifey n pwetty princess is well, hale n hearty IJN!!!

@Alwaystrue. Thank God the mamas have said it all. ttc is not an easy road even our beloved Daddy Abraham can testify to this. Its well with you. Its in order to be emotional at times. That makes us human but not to allow it overtake our trust/hope in Almighty God. God has delivered your package at your doorstep. The angels sent on this errand are waiting patiently for you to let them in. Your set time which is now will never pass you by IJN.

@Mummy Lore&temi3. I can't sleep tonight without replying your beautiful mail. How do you people cope . This is the toughest jamb question for me in this forum. @lizzylaw has said it all, No body is coping well . ttc is not something to get used to at all. for me, There is nothing we can do about it with our physical strength or tears. My sweet sister, put it at the back of your mind that (ITS ONLY GOD THAT GIVES CHILDREN). There is nothing you can do about it until its his will to give you. No matter what is happening around you, no matter what your dh or his people are feeling, your life is more important at this moment more than any thing. Its only the living that gives birth to children. You can enroll for the tailoring if you wish but this will never make you forget ttc but its better than staying idle. God will give you children, its your heritage as a child of God. Be happy, love yourself more. Appreciate the gift of a good dh and good health. I tell you some women who are ttc have dh who traumatize them emotional. Some have in-laws who have vowed to make life unbearable for them in their homes until they give them children. Some even have their biological parents/siblings trying to put them under pressure due to ttc as if its by anybody's strength to give children. Be happy, the God that gave you a wonderful dh will soon give you wonderful children. Your children will make you proud. Please do your soon to be born children a favour by staying strong now. They need a healthy mummy in future. They need a mum who will read stories with them like @hawtmummies mum . Be happy my love. Above all, make God your anchor. Come to the understanding that God will NEVER forget you. cheers sweetheart.

@Gen. B. Congratulations on the arrival of your baby. Soon ur dw and child will recover fully ijn. Like @lizzylaw said. I don't want to divided this house or offend you. I know you are a loving and sweet dh for registering on this mostly female dominated forum. God bless you. dear brother, me no like d tone of ur last post Thank God you have girls. I don't have anyone at all, So many of us have gone through unimaginable trauma to have a child we can call our own. God loves you so much for letting your wife get pregnant easily. Please don't allow the quest for a male child affect your emotions/home. My primary school teacher had only female children. I heard the man loved the wife so much that he did not give in to the pressure of a second wife for the sake of a male child. My dear, no family will be mentioned today in terms of affluence without mentioning that man's family in my place. The ladies are all married now, they have given there parents heaven on earth. What don't they have?. My dear, No body puts her dw under pressure in my villa now due to the wonders of God in that my teachers life hehehe. They have become a wonder. Come to think about it in the ordinary sense, Is it not women that care for their parents more than men in this our country Nigeria. Ask my father, he will tell you better . Is Ngozi Okonjo Iwella not a woman? Is Obey Ezekwesili not a woman? (pls add those you know) are they not proud daughters to their parents?. Let me shock you, I heard about an only son who sent his father to early grave due to his negative life style. I heard he went to the extent of hiring bad gang to kill his dad so that he inherits his property. Life oh life. Long live @Gen. Buhari's family. I love u sweet brother (no let ur dw hear o)

@hawtmummies, yes o. abeg make nosey friends/in-law park well, its children toy/story book all over.

@zarammum, You have got me thinking, honestly its not easy to be ttc and jobless no matter how rich ur dh is. God will locate you very soon. Be strong, its well with you sweet sister.. ((((e-hugs)))

@all, nothing dey happen. As long as God is on the throne we will look back to this thread and laugh at what we went through because of ttc. Our children will surround our tables very soon.

@lizzylaw, I have long stopped telling people am ttc. I have even warned my parents/siblings to keep that law for me. I have grown above ttc pity. for what?. I have five of them right inside me. They will soon take their position in my home. yes, as per nosey friends/group members... madam how are your children?...... Oh they are doing very very well. Those kids are wonderful children...... discussion closed. hehehe. I am now.... Let them say behind me. They are on their own. Its well. Lots of love darling sister.

@Genbuhari congrat.to God be the glory.incubator or no incubator:weakness or no weakness,what is settled is settled.GOD must surely be glorified in your life,dw and baby .it is well

@Gen buhari congrats on ur cutie lil princess. Gods name b praised

Really appreciate u all for all the comments and encouraging passages to lighten me. I feel much lighter now. Thanks so much. I guess I need to gaze better on God. Thanks Honiepie, pink22, alwaystrue, cjnone, mowafruitful, uteh, lizzyslaw,rute and everyone I forgot to mention. God bless u for me sis.

Gen Buhari, congratulations on the arrival of our little princess. She would bring so much joy to your household and be envied amongst her peers. Madam and baby are fine in Jesus name. Amen.

Merry Xmas to everyone. As we celebrate the remembrance of the birth of our Lord Jesus, May it usher good tidings to our home and cause a God to remember us for good Amen.
