I DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK

By the time the cab stopped in front of where I was lodging, the cabman said to me “I know it must have been God that made me pick you this night. My soul is lifted. I am going back a different person” But the irony of it was it took a huge struggle for me to open up my […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (6)

When she gave the first push, the midwives began to encourage her. I kept telling her, “Babe, I am here. You can do this”. When the team lead noticed that she was getting a bit tired after about three pushes. She did something profound- she took my wife’s hands and told her, “Touch your baby’s head. She is here already. […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (5)

The nurse told my beloved wife, “When you sense a strong urge that feels like you want to defecate, let me know. It means you are ready to push”. Then she left us to attend to other things. Some few minutes later, my wife began to say to me, “I want to defecate”. I called the midwives and they all […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (4)

When we landed in the hospital, the nurse on duty ushered us into the labour room to check the progress of labour. We had been confessing throughout the pregnancy that she dilates fast, fully and delivers with ease. When the nurse checked and mentioned that she was 8cm gone, we simply began to rejoice. Hope was lifted. We looked at […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (3)

Irewamiri had a typical morning routine of getting things set for the school while I had to bath Danielle and get her ready also. As laboured progressed, we had to decide to either abandon everything and focus on labour or just carry on with our morning schedule in the midst of it all- we focused on our morning schedules. She […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (2)- “MUMMY! DANCE”

After about 4 hours of being awake, I kept on encouraging Irewamiri as she went through the intermittent pains of labour. I would hold her as the pains heightened. She told me what she wanted me to do to help her through. But then Danielle woke up and noticed something unusual was happening. As we strolled in the compound around […]

IN THE MIDST OF LABOUR (1)

Around 2am, Irewamiri came to wake me up with these words, “Baby, I have been labouring for the past 2 hours. I cannot do it by myself. I need you by my side”. Well! Sleep vanished. I did not even know she was not by my side anymore. We began to labour together. Smiles. Birthing your God-given vision is also […]

THAT NIGHT CHANGED EVERYTHING

We were just to stop by with our dear teachers and we planned to spend the entire day before continuing the trip. Some few hours into our stay, we hinted that we would be leaving. They protested and said, “We planned to host you for lunch and dinner”. We knew it was a privilege. We rearranged our schedules immediately. We […]

I GAVE HIM MONEY INSTEAD…

While I sat on the barber’s chair for a hair cut, I knew deep within me that I was to share the gospel with that young man. But I was afraid. I wanted to just stick to professional conduct. When he was done, I gave him the money for his service and then like a big boy told him to […]

IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY

Just as I was called for breakfast, I began to hurry up. As I stepped into the bathroom, the Holy Spirit reminded me that it was the day of the week that I normally separate to wait on God. It felt like an arrow pierced my stomach. The pain was real. The hunger became more intense. Just then I opened […]
