Becoming a Mother: A Journey of Self-Discovery

My Seed, My Story: A Personal Story of Overcoming Adversity and Finding Purpose' 'The Miraculous Journey of My Seed: From Planting to Harvest. Becoming a mother motherhood is undeniably one of life's most fulfilling experiences. It is an honor to be able to narrate my journey towards becoming a parent. As a first-time parent, I am still amazed by the process of becoming one. I'm sure many are left wondering after reading this blog. "A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world." John 16:21 The passage from John 16:21 illustrates the profound transformation that occurs when a woman gives birth. Despite the pain and anguish experienced during childbirth, the joy of bringing a new life into the world eclipses all previous suffering. This verse highlights the powerful emotions and sacrifices that women endure in the process of becoming mothers.
Frequently, people inquire whether I have children or when I plan to have my own. I have often used pictures of friends' and family's babies as profile pictures on my social media accounts because I have a deep affection for children, and seeing those adorable images brings me immense joy, reflecting my love for them. ”Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him." Psalm 127:3 Some of the questions posed to me were left unanswered, as they were not entirely necessary. God is faithful, and His love is unwavering. If He promises something, He is more than capable of fulfilling it. I have never doubted this; I simply believe that when the time is right, I will indeed become a parent. It was a journey of destiny that led to self-discovery. I must clarify that I have not received any infertility diagnosis. I am fertile, but sometimes life's course cannot be predicted based on the choices we make. I got married at 27 with the aspiration of having my own children. Little did I know that it would take another decade to achieve this, despite being healthy and fertile. But it happened. As I have always maintained, God will never share His glory with anyone. So, when advised to seek help in various places, I choose to keep it to myself, as I firmly believe that no one can truly comprehend your story unless they have walked a similar path. Throughout my journey of becoming a mother, I have maintained unwavering faith in God and remained focused on His promises for me. Not once did I doubt His abilities. Despite being written off by many and hearing negative remarks from some friends, I refused to let those comments affect me. This moment in my life is incredibly fulfilling, and I am deeply grateful to God for this precious gift. It is common knowledge that there are certain factors to consider when it comes to childbirth. People often make negative assumptions about women over the age of 35 and the potential complications they may face during pregnancy. However, I can confidently say that I had a healthy pregnancy from the very beginning until the day of delivery. I did not encounter any problems and gave birth naturally, without the need for any medication. I express my gratitude to God for the exceptional care provided by the nurses, doctors, and midwives at HD Hospital on the day I gave birth. They truly did an outstanding job. This journey of becoming a mother has taught me invaluable lessons. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 92:14-15
During my pregnancy, I made the decision to keep it a secret from everyone except my older brother, who has always been a source of encouragement for me. I chose not to share this news with anyone else because I wanted to avoid unnecessary stress and the burden of explaining myself. All I needed during that time was my faith in God, and He was there for me every step of the way. When I finally announced the birth of my child to a few close friends, some of them immediately questioned whether I had undergone IVF. However, my answer was a resounding no. I did not conceive my baby through IVF and I didn’t use any medication. This miracle is solely the work of the Lord, and it is truly amazing in our eyes. Once again, I have witnessed God's goodness in my life, and I am forever grateful for this precious gift of life that He has bestowed upon us. In light of my experience, I feel compelled to share my personal insights and advice with women who are at the stage in life where they desire to become mothers. I view this as a calling to live purposefully and to support others on their journey to motherhood. I vividly recall a time when someone asked me when I would have a child, and my response was that the only circumstance in which I wouldn't have a child is if there were no God. Let me emphasize once again that I firmly believe in the existence of God, my Creator. I have never doubted His love for me, and the birth of my child serves as undeniable evidence of His boundless love and grace towards me and my family. I am deeply grateful for all my friends and family who prayed for me in their quiet moments and for those individuals whom God used to provide me with words of wisdom and encouragement. God remains faithful even when we are unfaithful, and I pray that all those who are seeking God's blessing of children will have their heartfelt desires fulfilled in the name of Jesus Christ. On this Mother's Day, I extend my warmest wishes to all the mothers out there, as well as to those who aspire to be mothers, including myself. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. Proverbs 31:25:26 Queendaline's pen/Time-With-Queendaline Greetings, beloved family and friends. I am filled with gratitude as I recount my journey to motherhood. Please join me in thanking God for the blessing of our new family. I am truly thankful for each and every one of you.
