Day 4

The more my wife pushed in labor , the more my sons heartbeat slowed down , the more she pushed the worse it got. Doctors had no choice, they cut her open and saw why. The umbilical cord was firmly wrapped around his neck. He lived.

He is 13 years this year .

The lord is my shepherd Psalm 23:1

Day 3

I completely forgot this one for over 25 years. I came home to my village from college and my mum quickly deplored me and my brothers to work on her farm.

Once at the farm, I bent down to pull out some weed. Right about making contact with the weed , I felt a slight shock at my back and I jumped backwards. Just then I saw it, a poisonous snake just leisurely crawled out from under the weed I bent down to. I was dazed. Nobody was standing at my back.

At this time , though my parents were Christians , I did not have time or room for God. If God was this good when I didn’t care , how much more now?

” Thanks be the Lord for He is good . His love endures forever” Psalm 136:1

Day 2

1967-1970

Dad came back from work on Friday .He decided to pack every one home to the village . Yes there was war but everything was peaceful where we lived.

He went back alone after the weekend to the house and froze in horror . The entire porch , the very center of our play zone , had been blown apart by shelling.

” A thousand May fall by our side , ten thousand by our right hand but it shall not come near us”Psalm 91:7

Day 1

1967- 1970

Survived the Nigerian civil war . Over 1 million people died , mostly women and children

Many years ago , I had a great desire to call a friend of mine who I had not seen in a long while

Little did I know it was God talking to me . I did not call . Months later I heard the guy died

The pain was beyond measure. Please reach out, you never know

Chiimamanda which is

My God never fails
