God is Faithful

REMEMBERING THE PAST

In 2016, I was not yet baptized but I always believed in God. I was a hopeless case when I found out that I was pregnant; wondering if I will ever make it as a single mother. 😓 I was beating myself up about the decision I made. I wasn't ready mentally for this new season of my life. Postpartum took a toll on me in the first few weeks after giving birth in 2017.

I wanted to end my life and even my child’s life. I had to cry out to God for him to heal me as I was mentally broken and overwhelmed. I felt alone and worthless and I kept wondering why me?

However, fast forward to 2020 and I am living my life according to God’s will. Everything is now falling into place. His ways are better than my ways. Motherhood is a part of my purpose. Since the birth of my daughter, there has been a shift in my life. I got baptized in 2018, after I decided that there was nothing left in the world for me to rely on and I knew that God was always with me. 💗

He was there when the suicidal thoughts ran through my mind. He was there when I constantly cried myself to sleep trying to figure it all out.

My daughter is now three years old and she is flourishing. I am doing my best to raise her in the person that God called her to be. She is truly a blessing.

I am stronger knowing that I am a child of God and all my validation comes from Him. I now have a peace that passes all understanding.

GROWTH

During these past three years, I have also grown mentally and emotionally. I have learnt to forgive. I have forgiven all those who have hurt me ( even my child’s father). As the Bible says in Matthew 6: 14-15: "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

I am still here learning and improving as a single mother. I thank God for his grace as He has kept me through it all. God has been my source of comfort, my provider and King. I stand on His word and I read it daily.

NEVER GIVE UP

If you’re going through a tough season right now, just remember that God will never leave you, cry out to Him and He will help you. As Romans 8:31 says, "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us,who can be against us?"

Through the midst of the storm, there will be a calm. When you are ready to throw in the towel, just hold on to His word.

The Roller Coaster Ride of Breastfeeding | Breastfeeding Journey| How to stop breastfeeding

There are a lot of mothers out there that would love to breastfeed their child. Breastfeeding is really a roller coaster ride. No one prepares you for it and shows you how to stop doing it. I am going to be sharing a little about my breastfeeding journey and how I eventually stopped breastfeeding. GOT MILK? When I gave birth to my daughter in 2017, no one prepared me for the journey that I would endure. My milk ducts were totally dried up and the nurses were telling me that I MUST breastfeed my daughter. However, after showing them all of my attempts to extract milk, they finally gave in and offered to give her some formula. I thought they would make her starve to death due to their strict breast feeding policy. I was finally able to breastfeed after 5 days. My flow of milk was also very slow and I had no choice but to supplement breastfeeding with formula. She was constantly crying after she was breastfed and I knew she was still hungry. When I left the hospital, the nurses had ...
