NOTORIOUS FOR JESUS
HARD TO STAY SAFE.

It was an ordinary afternoon on campus, the kind of day no one expects anything unusual to happen. My husband had only gone to run a quick errand, nothing stressful, nothing demanding. But life has a way of catching us off guard. He later told me, that while he was simply standing by the side of the road, a bike suddenly lost control and came rushing toward him.

The rider was a student, still very much an amateur, and he carried another student as his passenger. In their attempt to maneuver, they both got dragged off balance, and the bike veered, hitting my husband in the process. He said it all happened in seconds, but the impact felt like a lifetime stretched into one frightening moment.

The experience was very traumatic for him as he kept repeating “This is how people go out and never come back, You could just be standing quietly by the roadside, and from nowhere, a car or bike comes, and that’s the end."

I imagined the scene severally, two boys sprawled on the ground, shocked and shaken, while my husband tried to steady himself. Honestly I kept processing what happened. The randomness of it all left me speechless.

Yet, in the midst of fear I kept thanking God, truthfully, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It could have been worse. He could have been badly injured or even silenced forever, but instead, he was able to come home to tell the story himself. We both couldn't stop talking about how life is fragile, unpredictable, and every safe return home is nothing short of a blessing.

Happens to people everyday...I thank God on his behalf

INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD.

Growing up, when it came to our beauty regimen, the rules were simple. Nothing more than eight to ten corn rows at a time, I think that’s because my sisters and I had tender scalp. No beads or multiple colourful hair accessories at a time. No hair attachments and no braids regardless of what was being used.

We had braids one Christmas and never again. My dad’s mantra was kids should be kids, and a little girl had no business thinking of how beautiful she looks. The truth is I always admired other girls with the big bows and colourful beads in their hair that made this clacking sound when they ran but I quickly learnt to look the other way and even cut my hair in primary and was on low cut till after secondary school.

The rules in teenage hood was simple no lip gloss till I was thirteen, only transparent nail paints (cortex) till sixteen. No brown powder, just white powder till sixteen, and no lipstick or colourful lip gloss till sixteen, and I kept to the rules. I have always believed that I would continue the same rules when I have a daughter and considered my stance something I would never back down on.

My sisters came to spend some time with me and girls being girls, we make each others hair, nails and all. My sisters make up regularly and while they are at it, I have a two year old princess who watches so intently and jumps with glee pointing to her face saying me!!. So we indulge her and she gets a little make up done on her face.
Almost if not all the time we are doing our nails she gets hers done too, its funny and cute how she drags my sisters beauty bag to them and starts to point at things she wants to get done. As little as she is, she knows what each tool is used for and where each make up products go.

The other day, she kept trying to put my stick on nails on her finger, and I allowed her to get it done. It only lasted fifteen minutes before she asked me to remove it.
She gravitates towards pink and would even cry to wear her princess gowns to bed. She points to her hair and brings a comb to me gesturing that I make her hair and she sits so quietly and smiles, when she is done she drags her chair in front of the mirror and stand on it while smiling and I encourage her by telling her how beautiful she looks.

Last week I bought her two tiaras, she wore them till they broke and now I am considering buying her the hair beads and accessories I have always frowned at. The same thing I had thought could never be me. Next week I am taking her accessories shopping and I can already imagine the delight on her face when we get there .
My sister are even encouraging I buy her child friendly make upkit because of how good she is with theirs. I have been told what if she will grow up to be a great makeup artist.
I have even seen videos of this very talented five year old make-up artist who is doing great. Who would have thought that I, who has been so stoic in my stance on never allowing my daughter to do all this will be folding up now that I actually have a girl.

hehehehehehehehehehehe how sweet!

This is how it is with everyone oh...We all act tough until it gets to our kids and it is allowed....I see so many little girls with make up and sometimes i stare in shock, judging them in my mind but i am sure that if i had birthed a daughter, i would have done worse
