  • Pour Into Someone

    Hello My Listeners!

    Welcome to Episode 10. - Pour Into Someone

    It is the final episode of Season 10!

    I am so grateful to God and everyone who has been listening from the beginning of the season right unto now. I cannot Thank you enough for the feedback, comments, encouragement and prayers. 

    Today I want to share about pouring into someone. We all have a light in us that the world needs to see but this journey makes us hide that light and stay in the place of doubt, shame, sorrow and regret. You are more than just a person to have children, you are much more! 

    So, I want to encourage us to pour that light into someone today, this season, this period… Pouring doesn’t have to be just monetary, it could be a smile, a wave, a compliment to someone else that puts a smile on their face (I know you need that smile on your face too but imagine being able to just move beyond your feelings and do just that). It is not the magnitude that is important but the genuinity and simplicity of that act. The happiness it will stir up inside of you will be unexplanable. 

    We are all tied to each other's stories one way or the other. I to you and you to me and someone else. We have other areas in our lives that are flourishing and someone might just need a word of advice from you too, give it freely, this is also an act of pouring into someone else. 

    I pray that God will give you the strength to pour and receive the goodness that comes from it. I would love to say this “ You are a Christmas closer to seeing your children”

    I love you and God loves you even more.

  • Trust God Completely

    Welcome to Episode 9. - Trust God Completely

    Hello My Listeners!

    What is trust? Trust is the firm belief in a person or something or its ability. 

    How much do you trust God? The answer might be completely, it used to be my answer too until God told me how I didn’t. And it was true because I trusted Him in every other area except when it came to infertility and believing that He would give me a child. I believe Him for every other aspect of my life except this one. 

    I remember sometime recently we were having a chat and He told me that I didn’t trust Him completely. I had put having a child in a section where I believed I had to do this myself.That day I repented that day and asked the Holy Spirit to help me. And he has been helping me ever since then. He can help you too, you just have to believe and take yourself or any man out of the equation and watch Him do wonders. 

    One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, you can find this in 2 Peter 3:8. I will wait for Him no matter how long it may seem to me because I believe He has done it and it will be made manifest. 

    I pray that the Holy Spirit will give you the strength to yield and lay it all down and trust Him completely. 

    I love you and God loves you even more.

  • Accept & Lay it Down

    Hello My Listeners!

    Welcome to Episode 8. - Accept & Lay it Down


    In this Episode, we look at Hannah at Shiloh. The encounter she had with God when she acknowledged that only God could give her the child she prayed for and laying down all depression, worry and embarrassment. She dedicated Samuel to God to serve Him. She understood that God would do it and that it was not about her, it was about God.

    Children are a heritage and a gift from God. She came to the understanding that this child is God's and not mine and she had to lay down all selfishness.

    Samuel is still talked about today because He was destined to be a prophet. The children God wants to give to us are kings, queens, princes and princesses but can God trust us to dedicate to Him and lead them in the way of the Lord?


    Read 1 Samuel 9 again and see the encounter and ask God for that encounter Hannah had with Him.

    No matter how long it might seem in our eyes. He is never late and He is always ON TIME.

  • Fighting through the storm
    Fighting through the storm is like pushing through a mountain literally. We have come from accepting that it is okay to not be okay, to grieve over the loss, know yourself in Christ, love yourself, be happy and live in the moment!
    Even after all these the storm still comes but you have to face it and fight it to remain happy.
    Infertility is a journey and not a final destination. A journey because you will get to the place of having your children.
    During my fighting through the storm moments, one thing kept me going and it was knowing God was always with me because He told me not to be afraid.
    Psalm 28:7 AMP “The Lord is my strength and my (impenetrable) shield; my heart trusts (with unwavering confidence) in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I shall thank Him and praise Him”.
    Psalm 56:3 ESV “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you”.
    Isaiah 41:13 ESV ‘For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you”.
    These scriptures will give you the assurance of God’s faithfulness.
    He is an “impenetrable shield” nothing can get in! So when you stay in God, you can face the storm head on and out at the other side stronger, victorious and happy.
    I saw an instagram reel that spoke about the metaphor of the cow and the buffalo. They both sense the storm coming but the cow runs away and the buffalo runs into the storm! The cow gets tired and exhausted, because the storm caught up with it remains in the storm longer than it should, and ends up miserable and guilty. But the buffalo on the other hand, after facing the initial terrifying fear, comes out of the storm appreciating the water and grass that it bought with it.
    Who have you been, the cow or the buffalo?
    Who would you rather be now, the cow or the buffalo?

  • Live in the Moment
    Live in the Moment
    When you wake up in the morning, do you stop to appreciate the sound of nature? I know a number of us in this part of the whole world would say with all the loud generator sounds, vehicular movements and the hustle and bustle of the early morning, how is that possible? There is beauty, peace, clarity in embracing a moment. We ignore the moment of bliss and dwell on all the activities and negativity.
    I remembered our 4th anniversary, hubby made so much effort to get us to have a staycation at a beach. There was the boat cruise to the beach, food, salt water, moist air and a whole lot of freshness. I was excited or so I thought. At the end of that day, instead of continuing to embrace and live that moment of peace, intimacy and love, I settled for my frustrations of what wasn’t and I ruined what could have been a perfect day. The drive home was bad, I said harsh words and somewhat made him feel guilty for us having a good time. In my head, it was wrong, selfish and bad for us to enjoy how far we have come and all we have accomplished even without children. That was not the only time, it was many times…
    Then God took me on a journey of appreciating every single moment. I will love us to read 1 Corinthians 7:17-35 MSG, emphases on vs 17 and vs 32-35.
    Life might not be the party we hope for but we can choose to dance no matter what!
    Live in the moments, love your spouse, enjoy life! It is worth living.

  • Be Happy
    Be Happy
    What does the word “Happy” mean to you?
    I posted this on my status and someone responded saying; "Peace of mind, contentment, serenity and most of all, knowing the Almighty has got me!”
    Dealing with infertility can be a difficult and emotional journey. However, it's important to remember that happiness is still possible. Contentment seems far-fetched also but I would love to say that you have the strength to push through and be Happy!
    Try to find joy in small moments or seek support from loved ones, focusing on the positive aspects of life can bring happiness even during challenging times. It's also important to prioritize self-care and seek professional help if needed, as taking care of one's mental and emotional wellbeing is crucial. Remember that every woman's journey is unique and that it's okay to take the time needed to process and cope with infertility. With time, patience, and support, happiness can still be found in life, even amidst the struggles of infertility.
