Please believe me when I
say it came without warning!
I didn't know I was
pregnant!
One early Saturday morning
I was woken up by this funny tickling movement in my tiny stomach,
So I rushed out to the
bathroom pretty sure that I would throw up,
But nothing seemed to come
out so I went back to bed; lying to myself that I was asleep,
And even though physically
calm and rested so to speak; inwardly wrestling with unknown giants,
Finally giving in to the
fight and letting it sink deep!!
Letting it sink deep that
I was indeed pregnant,
But somehow finding a
happy place amidst such turmoil,
Contrary to my
expectations, with every movement I felt love, joy and renewed confidence!!
My tummy kept protruding
however hard I tried to hide it_ so I thought,
I couldn't imagine this
tiny being was growing to be bigger than I could ever hide,
And with every new day; there
was always a new moment; a brutish reminder that I was pregnant!!
Sometimes it felt like a
fire burning; trying out all humanly ways to quench itself,
Other times it felt calm
and quiet; I guess the baby was asleep but still growing,
Making me feel so alive
but at the same time scared of the unknown!!
All this while; thousands
of questions running through my mind,
Will I be responsible
enough?
Am I ready for this and
strong enough to sustain it?
How about my family and
friends?
But I somehow knew I was
fully prepared for the task,
All set for both ridicules
and genuine pats on my back,
I knew it won’t be easy;
but I also knew it would be a new intimacy to enjoy;
From three months, to six,
to nine and I was finally ready to push it out.
I was ready to bring forth
my dream- My Divine Purpose!!
See, I didn't know I was
pregnant with a dream,
With every sharp pain the intensity
to push multiplied, every contraction paving a pathway to my baby- My Divine
Purpose,
My waters broke and
streamed like a constrained river finally free,
With every sweat-drop on
my forehead; more in- built pressure to keep pushing,
With every firm grip on my
delivery bed; joy rekindled,
Finally beholding a new
hope; beauty in all its perfection,
Embracing my purpose;
thanking God for the opportunity.
This time round; there was
no giving up!
I was finally building a
new hub; A new thinking perspective!
To nurture my purpose to
maturity; and abundance thereafter!
My Purpose for Existence!
