THIS CAN ONLY BE GOD....

A friend shared this on face book  and when i read through it, i think i should share......read on...

 

A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the U.S. paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagno...sed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life."

Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person" Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible....and hey, pass it on! The world needs to see this one!

A STRANGE WORLD WE LIVE IN

Sometimes you see things happen and you are like...why? what went wrong? is there a force behind this?
O.k there was serious traffic this morning.. like bumper to bumper... it was like 5 mins before a car would move from one spot...Gosh!!! Lagos!! so a lot of people got down  and started trekking...even some with cars had to park. There was this lady  very well dressed  who was trekking along too and all of a sudden she stopped very close to our  vehicle right beside me and she started screaming....."i have told you stop disturbing me..." i actually thought she was talking to me so i quickly wind up...the next thing she pulled down her skirt, and tore open her blouse...WHAT!! broad day madness right on the road...quickly people gathered but no body wanted to touch her..(abi.ooo who want early morning slap) she started displaying screaming on top of her voice and right there in front of everyone she got her self NAKED....My God i could not control the tears that was streaming down my checks....and i kept asking myself questions like ...What is responsible for this? is it her sin or that of her fore fathers? some one who recognized her was saying she works with a bank..(we don't know how true..) but it was such a pitiable sight....such a fine girl... its really a strange world we live in you know...wanted to take a pix... but could not bring my self to...i mean it won't be fair.

JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD ASK...

Should i give to every beggar i see? There is this Man that begs on the road and i get to see him when going to work... really can't say what is wrong with him but he looks pathetic... he bends to walk holding a plate forward for people to drop money...it moves me...but at the same time i get so scared.....my question is: Could failing to help the poor damn you to hell? In light of Matthew 25:45-46, I just thought I'd ask.....

JUST BELIEVE

Went to church yesterday, it was our church eight years anniversary celebration. Even though Bubu didn't let me concentrate much with her " mummy i wan to pee...." every second, i managed to grab a few things from what the guest speaker was saying... he was preaching on the awesomeness of God and why we should not be afraid as long as we have him on our side.   why the fear really....why do we fear...? some times fear of the unknown...when will this happen, when will that happen... how do i achieve this and that? well i got good news for you ...all things are possible with a little believe.....JUST BELIEVE and remember "if God be for us, who can be against us?" We closed very late from church yesterday.. but it was worth it.... i enjoyed every bit in his presence. So to every member of RCCG solution center..I say Happy eight years ANNIVERSARY..

I am speechless...guess i am just too tired. I just took a drug that has been itching ...and has knocked me off completely.....You want to say a little prayer? pls do...i guess it will help....THANK YOU...........

WOULD YOU HATE YOUR MUM IF SHE HAD ONE EYE?

I was watching a reality show on TV over the weekend "the supermom" (a show that let contestants tell stories of what their mothers have been through for them and the viewer is asked to vote at the end) there were different touchy stories that i was so confused on who should be the winning mother.... Mothers are indeed very SPECIAL you will agree with me. While i was still thinking of the peculiarity of mothers, i remembered a piece i read sometime...on the net...i actually copied it to my computer... Enjoy the story......

My mom only had one eye. I hated her, she was such an EMBARRASSMENT. There was this one day during elementary school. I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school..My friends made a joke of it."Your mom only has one eye….I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye?! You're only going to make me a laughingstock. Why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time..
That night...I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mom was crying there, so quietly,. I took a look at her, and then turned away. Ah…is it Because of the thing I had said to her earlier? This made me hate her even more…. It was disgusting watching her cry out of her one eye.

well I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty….
Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Lagos to study, I completed my studies got a job then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. I was living happily as a successful woman. I liked it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom.
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me "What?! Who's this?!"... It was my mother...Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little boy ran away, scared of my mom's eye.
And I asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!!!". I screamed at her "How dare you come to my house and scare my son! Get out here now!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared. Thank goodness... she doesn't recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn't going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. Well I made up my mind I was going back to Kano for the reunion. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house...just out of curiosity and there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. But I did not shed a single tear. She had a piece of paper in her hand.... that read…..

My daughter

I think my life has been long enough now, I won't visit Lagos anymore... but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school...for you... I'm sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment tor you. You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye... so I gave you mine..

I was so proud of my daughter that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to myself, 'it's because she loves me.' I miss the times when you were still young around me.
I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me. My world shattered! Then I cried for the person who lived for me… my Mother…wish I had one more chance to right my wrong…..

Imagine what the world would be without our mothers... while we still have the chance, lets make it up .... the NINE months isn't a joke i tell you....
