My Story
I want to share with us about a couple in okwuavenue in Abia state of Nigeria, there names are James and Miriam. few months after their weeding ceremony, Miriam became pregnant.
When her mother in-law noticed that she is pregnant,she thanked God. James her husband was over-joyed when he discovered that his wife was pregnant. He thought and said, she will give birth to a handsome boy just like herself because she was a beautiful woman.

He made sure that he provided her with everything she needed and also prayed that God will help her deliver safely. After a little while, Miriam started going for antenatal care at the hospital.

Miriam started buying things for her unborn baby, because her time of delivery was fast approaching. Indeed the lady suffered so much, during the period of her pregnancy,and when the time for delivery came, she went to the hospital to deliver her baby,but things turned opposite. Labor was severe,and the baby refused to come out. This made James cry out his heart begging the doctor to do everything possible to see that his wife delivered the baby safely.

The doctor tried all that he could,but to no avail,he then called James to give them the permission to operate on his wife, so the mother and the child would live. James gave him permission to carry out the surgery and it was done successfully.

She gave birth to a bouncing baby boy as handsome as his parents. James joy knew no bound that he brought out his phone and called his parents and his in-laws to share the good news with them. His in-laws were full of happiness and they glorified God who made it possible.

Miriam stayed for seven days at the hospital before she returned to their house. When people heard that she had given birth,they were excited and started spreading the goodnews.

Many also came with money gift they could afford. Two weeks after the birth of their baby, James invited the villagers to his house for the a ceremony called naming ceremony. That is a ceremony in which parents, in-laws and well wishers gather to give the new born baby a name.

At that ceremony,the baby was given the name Alwell. On that day, different varieties of food and drinks were presented to their guests. They drank and enjoyed themselves.

With The joy in the heart of this couple, they forgot all the trouble they passed through during the pregnancy showing that sometimes when we encounter difficulty in life most times it does mean it is the end of the world. Once when can skcil through that season when Joy comes it weep away all those sad moment that we dont remember it anymore.
