I've started my registration process for this NGO here in Nigeria and already there's an issue cos the name I've worked and prayed with for the past year was rejected. For some reason the people at the Corporate Affairs Commission didn't like the "association" at the end of the name we proposed. So we've sent in Miscarriage Support and Information Centre. I guess the "association" will still be under the umbrella of the "centre".
Anyway, i refuse to be discouraged because i know that all things work together for the goood of those who love God and who are called according to His purpose and I strongly believe that I'm working in the purpose of God concerning this matter so I'll have peace.
I have such big dreams for what can be accomplished as we share the love of God and the comfort of the Holy Spirit through this work.

Challenges promoting Babyloss Awareness
wednesday 15th october is the Pregnancy &Infant Loss Remembrance Day. i was hoping i would be able to put out some information and create awareness here in Nigeria but it's been quite challenging.
first sent some articles to two women's magazines based here but got no response from them. then had an idea this morning to go to some churches around and le the pastors knopw so they can say a prayer for the families dealing with such loss (just a general prayer) but because of local council elections taking place in lagos today there is no movement till 4pm so i'm not sure how much i'll be able to do.
will definitely spend time on that day to pray about this work and also for women suffering this pain.....it's the least i can do.

a recent anniversary
Well, 1st oct 2007was to be my due date before the miscarriage so my baby would have been a year old by now. this anniversary is not as hard as the annivesary of the day i actually lost the pregnancy (march 2nd). it was a very hard day.
i remember a poem i saw not long after the miscarriage and i really loved it. it's short and simple but real spoke to my heart, then and now.

HOPE.
Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernatural glory.
