Miracles are encountered every day and every second of our lives and I don't think any human living on earth hasn't encountered one no matter how little they think is, it is just that we don't tend to take them as a miracle because we think it's our right.
And that is one reason why we hardly realize an everyday miracle because nobody is in awe and because we think it is our right, so we appreciate or think miracles are only the ones that people are in awe of, or wouldn't stop talking about.
I tell people my life is a mystery, I'm short, my life is filled with a whole lot of testimony and whenever I take out time to tell them these testimonies, they are always in awe.
Four years back, close to the festive period, I remember checking my breast at home and I felt a lump inside. I was disturbed because I felt such things weren't supposed to happen to someone who does not have a big breast to start with.
I was afraid and had to let my mom know, she took me to a pharmacist who said it could be breast cancer and needed to be operated on it to avoid it spreading. The money the doctor required was a large sum that I knew a girl like me couldn't afford, I got home weeping because I can't imagine myself going without a breast or being operated on.
I told a friend who encouraged me not to be afraid that everything was going to be fine. Sincerely, I was one with little faith and didn't believe that phase of my life was going to pass without going through the operation. He encouraged me to pray and always prayed with me whenever I was with him.
One month passed and I was no longer feeling the lump around my great area, even when I wanted to believe the lump was gone, I couldn't believe it because I did not believe it. I was finally urged to go and do a checkup to be sure there was nothing there again, when I got to the hospital, after the checkup, the doctor told me I was fine and the lump was gone.
My younger brother was told he had just a month to leave, we were told the day, the time, and the month his life will come to an end, we were all scared, but the day of his death came and nothing happened to him, and still today, it's been six years and still counting, my brother is still living healthy and sound.
Two years ago, my mum was diagnosed with diabetes, listening to the words of the doctors got me frustrated because I was the only one who the responsibility would be upon, I knew the weight and is the only breadwinner, I could not imagine what life would be like with a diabetic mom who has to be living on drugs every single day of her life. Every day I cried, and every night, my bed got soaked with my endless tear. I couldn't tell anyone the stress I was going with on my house because I hate to inconvenience people.
I remember telling her one day angrily, that she needed to stay strong and believe in God and not in what the doctors say and I wouldn't have the money to be buying expensive drugs for her every week or month.
Funny enough even when the miracle came, I never realized it because I was too busy, but one day, it came to my knowledge that although she was still a diabetic patient, but she was living on drugs. We only buy the drugs once in a while to reduce her level of sugar and the last time we went for the doctor checkup, they were all surprised that she was still able to move around and do things like every normal person because we were told it was the final stage for her.
