The hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my life was keeping my baby. I had to decide whether I would allow the embryo in my uterus the opportunity to grow.
Here’s the kicker…
I wouldn’t be deciding if he lived or not. That’s a God thing. I had to DECIDE on if I would AT LEAST leave space for what was already inside of me the opportunity to manifest into something GREAT.
Stay with me…
See, before I got pregnant with my son, I had already miscarried multiple times while I was married. Obviously, I wanted a child at one point. However, my current situation wasn’t my ideal situation. I wanted to eliminate what could possibly be bad with me keeping what was growing inside of me.
I didn’t talk about it. I prayed about it. My spirit led me to call my closest confidant, my cousin Tanisha. She, without hesitation, spoke LIFE into my situation. First, She reminded me that I wasn’t GOD. She also reminded me that I had gone through so much trying to birth life and how did I KNOW that this pregnancy wasn’t “the one.” So on and so forth…
That same day, I DECIDED to keep my baby. I said that if it wasn’t meant to be, GOD would say so.
Fast forward 7 months later…
At 39 weeks and 1 day gestation, a baby boy was born, completely healthy and beautiful. I was able to look my first living baby in the eyes.
Here’s my point:
Whatever that it is that you want to birth (new career, a new dream, new business, new home, new car, a marriage, or a child)…
Decide to KEEP YOUR BABY.
People will try to talk you out what you want, need, and/or deserve the most. You may have less people speaking life than those who dont want you to see what you’ve been praying and hoping for come to life.
You may have to change your mindset, make some adjustments to your circle, and be more mindful of the company you keep…
Just make up your mind to keep your baby. Give it the opportunity to grow. GOD will make sure that whatever you are wanting to birth comes to fruition.
Until Next Time…
