Life in this world can be hard and, it can also cause us tears and pains. But in all, we trust in God for straighten to face challenges of life. I have hard many bitter moments in my life and good moments too. For the sake of this challenge, I will share One of those bad and good times with you.

It will comprises what lead to each of them, what I got wrong or right that day and, moral lessons from those experiences. First, let me share my worst day with you.

On April 1st 2022, something terrible happened in my house. Honestly, I haven't heard such a thing in my life neither have I had such experience in my life. When I came back from work on 31st night of March 2022, I went to my sister's house to pick up my dear daughter. On getting there, I had some times with her and her children before taking my live. While I was going, her grandson followed me up. He always took me as his second mother up to date.

I tried all possible best to convince him but he ran outside weting for me to come out. I had no choice than to take him along with my child. When we get home, I prepared tea and bread for them. After eating, we played for a while and asked them to sleep so that I can do something else. They wanted to sleep on the floor due to heat, but I insisted that they should sleep on the bed because of mosquitoes.

I was dragging with them because I needed to cover them with mosquito net. But their is another problem, am living close to the main road. Which is our street road and, the road was on construction. So, the dust was much as well which made me to lock up the windows. I told them to sleep on the bed while I keep the door open for a while with cotton down. I was awake till 12:00 a.m. But the weather was still hot. So, I still left the door open. Unfortunately, I slept off.

I letter feel a cool breeze blowing on my body. I stand up immediately to lock up the door. Guess what? Both of them are no longer on the bed. I quickly search for my phone and switch on the light. It was some minutes to sharp 4. I found my daughter lying down on the floor with mosquitoes full all over her body and, my sister's grandchild is no were to be found. I searched everywhere in my room and couldn't find him. I run outside to see if he is outside still couldn't see him. I run to my sister's house to know if he went home and he is not there. Oh my God, I run mad. We started looking for him all over the streets and inside gotta till 6:00 a.m. but couldn't find him. That was when I became a walking corp's.

Before 7:am., I and my family members are already in the Police station to make an entry. After 50 minutes, my sister's phone rang, guess who was calling? There school gate keeper. He told my sister that his grandson of 2 years and 5 months walked inside the school premises around 2:00 a.m. My first question was, is he alive? And I get a yes answer. I jumped outside the police station and start running home to welcome him back in life because I was almost dying out of fear and what poeple will say.

_{My look that very morning and my sisters grandson Alvin}

Waking up from sleep and my sisters grandson whom I always call my husband is no more longer on the bed with me spoiled my day. It became more worst when I couldn't find him for hours. Because I was crying bitterly while looking for him.

What I got wrong that day was not locking my door. Is even better he was bitten by mosquitoes than losing him. On the other hand, I started searching for him immediately with my family members. We backed our search for him with prayers and, Jehovah God returned him back to us. So, I can say that, it was the right thing I deed that day.

• I will never keep my door open again when am with children. Or only me more expecially at night.

• Learnt to be very careful in life.

• To pray to God when facing worst days. I prayed that morning and God answered me and delivered me because by now, either am death or mad.

_{She made me a proud mother}

While growing up as a child, I keep asking myself, how do my mother gave birth to me? Will I ever become a mother and so forth. On April 10th 2016, God blessed me with a bouncing baby girl. Though I passed through lost of pains during labour, but seeing myself become a mother took away the pains.

It was a dream comes true. Those questions I was asking myself I got all the answers that day direct from God because, he gives me the child. Actually didn't get anything wrong that day. I did all I was asked to do in the hospital which includes moving around. At a point when the pains was much, I began to speak in tongues 😂. Dancing without musical instruments 🤣. Oh my goodness! It's something every woman needs to experience.

• Always obey instructions from my health practitioner.

• Mother's needs to be respected because they passed a lot within the period of 9 months.

• God's gift of a child do wipe away labour pains.

• Etc.

Hope you find my stories interesting? Am happy to share those moments with you. I will still share others with you when the matter arises. But for now, I want to invite @nsikakedem, @prudent85 and @focusnow to share their own stories with us.
