This topic is a very sensitive topic to discuss because it hits somepeople really hard but the truth is what will be will be.
Recently I've been hearing about this marriage and pregnancy pressure more on people and it's unfair. So today I was in a car with some ladies, turns out that one of the ladies had been married for 8 years without a child. Her old school friend saw her and they were so happy to see each other, talking beside me so as we were about to leave, the other lady says "My regards to your kids o, you didn't even tell me their names".. "my sister, I'm still waiting on God o" the other lady replied. "Wow, since that long time wey you don marry, you never born. Nawa o. Don't worry God will do it".. "thank you my friend".
Just imagine such reply from an adult. A woman! Why couldnt she just change the topic if she didn't have anything good to say? I was really angry! I rolled my eyes as she was walking away.
Half way into the journey the woman was teary all through, she was sad and I could tell she wasn't happy with the situation.
As a bold young lady, I moved close to her and told her not to worry, everything will be fine. I gave her examples of people I know and she says she has tried everything and she is even fed up of praying already. I encouraged her and talked to her about it, in the middle of her tears I could tell she just needed someone to understand that she isn't the one that "manufactures" babies. It's Gods work, no human being can do it just through sex alone, if God says yes then so be it.
The truth is human beings are very different. Some, at a very young age, they'll get married and even have kids immediately while some for some reason have to wait till they are much older.
A news came out that a female artiste in Nigeria was pregnant this week, she later came online and said she wasn't pregnant. I was reading the comments of people under the post and someone said "since she wrote #GodsTime, we never can tell what she means".. what am I trying to say?
Issues like this are very very sensitive. Even grown adults (parents, relatives etc) they need to take it easy with the "when are you getting married", "when are you having a baby" thing. Im not in this situation so I can't really tell how it feels but I see the reactions of people that are facing marital and pregnancy pressure daily and it's just not it.
Even if you want to ask, I believe you should be asking for a very good reason and don't ask everytime. Reminding someone of their "wish" from God everytime can be very disturbing.
Can we just wait on God and see him bless people the way and when he wants? My mum will say "Olorun Okin Se Oba Ika", he's not a wicked God. Sooner than you think, your testimony will come.
Never wanted to write about this but the situation I found myself in today just pushed this. Please I've heard of testimonies so just tap into it and wait on God. Be it husband, wife or baby, none is too big for God and at the right time I believe he'll do it.
Thank you for reading! Pls share with your friends!
