I choose to celebrate life in Jesus

by | birthday, grief recovery | 20 comments

2 years ago, May 14, MoraC and MoraD were born. My life changed and it has changed some more!

This morning, I woke up with mixed feelings. 

Then I took a walk. I listened to Mercy Chinwo’s song- Excess Love. 

Indeed God loves me too much. My circumstances may look otherwise in some ways but I have experienced this excess love first hand. I choose to bask in Abba’s love for me.

I choose to be sad and be happy.

I choose to feel the emotions and release the pain.

I choose to celebrate life in Jesus- here on earth for MoraD and in heaven for MoraC.

MoraC, I am sure y’all are having a blast in heaven, whilst we eat loads of cupcakes and finger foods here on earth.

We shall dress up and celebrate the day two special babies came into the earth: MoraC and MoraD.

Today I choose life.

The sting of death has been removed!

Happy birthday MoraC and MoraD.

Today heaven and earth collide.

    No one can know what this feels like and too many are silent on it.

    We thank God for life on earth and in heaven.

    Happy birthday lovelies!
