Current Favorite!

Every time I listen to this song my hope for life gets renewed. There's so much happening around the world right now and in our lives that maintaining and keeping faith and hope alive becomes a little bit  hard. Covid-19 has brought about death, loss of jobs, cessation of movement and a complete turn around from what we previously knew as our normal to a new normal that's full of worry, depression, uncertainty and grief, just to name but a few. Some days are good and bearable but others aren't. The choice we have left, among them giving up, is to stay grinding and hoping that tomorrow there's be a new dawn. 

I believe in a higher power. I believe that there's a God somewhere who knows and has bigger plans for us in this and the next life. That's why this song encourages me sana & has been a favorite lately.

Faithful through the ages,God of Abraham,
You're the God of covenant, And of faithful promises,
Time and time again, You have proven,
You’ll do just what you said.

Though the storms may come and the winds may blow,
I’ll remain steadfast, And let my heart learn, when you speak a word,
It will come to pass,

Great is your faithfulness to me x 2,
From the rising sun to the setting same, I will praise your name
Great is your faithfulness to me, When the seasons change
You remain the same, Your faithfulness, it never runs out!

I'll still bless you,
In the middle of my storms, in the middle of my trials, 
I'll still bless you
In the middle of the road when I don't know where to go
I'll still bless you 💖

We don't really know how things are gonna turn out eventually but I believe that we shall all get through this. There have been pandemics in the past and people survived. I want to stick to my hope that we shall too and live to tell the tales of social distancing!

The full song is 'Promises by Maverick City Music featuring Joe L Barnes & Naomi Raine'.

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

With this topic, you know the norm right? I share some quotes I've come across that make some sense to me, well, because not all do. Picture quotes are more interesting to look at and so they'll take most space in this particular post. I will be overjoyed is you left a comment, maybe share one quote that keeps you going? Enjoy!  “It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me." ~Warsan Shire. “Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.” ~ Warsan Shire. “Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.”~ Warsan Shire.

The world didn't quite prepare me for the experience that came with this phase of my life. I boast occasionally of how easy it has been for me to grasp and adapt to changes in my life but this one, naah ...I had to readjust, relearn and extensively educate myself. What I'm I talking about, you ask? Motherhood. I am writing this while on my 3rd trimester; 35 weeks & 6 days to be precise. The once subtle baby kicks are now more defined you'd think the baby's made my womb a mixed martial art ring. It feels heavenly every time it happens and I am not joking when I say that I live for them kicks...I could be having a really crappy day but anytime I sit and the kicks intensify, my mood instantly changes!  The reason I started by saying that the world didn't quite prepare me for the journey is because with my many years of schooling and seeking knowledge, I realized that I didn't know much about pregnancy. I was never taught about what to expect in any of the trime...
