Just A Day Soothsayer

I just got the opportunity to know what Déjà vu means though the meaning of the word is never a new thing to me. Déjà vu is a French short phrase which means experiencing in reality what you have imagined.
I see no difference between Déjà vu and soothsaying, the only thing I think that might be the difference is before the scene of your imagination comes to reality, you are able to say it out to people already which makes you a Soothsayer. A Soothsayer doesn't mean you are an evil person as our forefathers regards people with that gift has been possessed by evil powers, Soothsayers are just like fortune tellers. Sometimes these imaginations don't come to reality and other times it does.

My elder brother's wife was pregnant and we were expecting the first child in his home. We lost our mum on the process of delivering and that imaginations keeps ringing in my brain whenever I come across any one who is pregnant and we are related, I can't help stop my imaginations from going to what happened in the past with my mum. I will think negatively but importantly I bring myself to the realization that not everybody's story is going to be like that and it is just my brain and emotions that are playing with me.
In my elder brother's case, the feeling was too strong that I had to disclose it to my very good friend, we prayed for her collectively with him before I told her what I was feeling about her pregnancy and the delivery.

I know I use to have these sensational fear about pregnant women but her's came differently and very strong. I shared with her and her husband one faithful evening. I told her she is going to have difficulties in delivering the baby and if care is not taken it can escalate to something else because I am seeing her facing difficulties in delivering. I told her one good thing about what I feel is that I feel she has the power to change what I feel through prayer. She asked me to pray for her and I did together with her husband and my friend.

The day for delivery came and it was around 2am in the morning, I don't know why most of the women push into labor around that time lols. I was in the house that day and I can still remember clearly how my brother wished he had four legs to help him run faster than just what the two can offer him. He ran with the speed of light to our neighbors house who has a bike and pleaded with him to help him take him and his wife to the hospital cause she's in labor, I really wonder how crazier my brother would have been if our neighbor refused to offer him a helping hand but thank God our neighbor is a kind man and so he did.
I was at home together with my friend because he mostly spend the night at my house, we slept and what wake me up was my brother's call early in the morning around 6am and these were his words "My wife said you should please pray for her" I asked him what the problem was and he told me that the she couldn't give birth and the doctors are already talking about operating her.

It was like a dream come through for me because I knew what I saw the last time I told them, I was merging the scenes from my head with the occurrences going on that day. I decided to start praying for her, I prayed for almost 20 minutes till when my neighbor came by my window and said God has answered my prayer. You need to enter inside my heart to see how much joy filled every vacuum that moment. It was like a dream but it came to reality, am happy the story didn't ended up a bad one, she delivered without the operation and that could only be God.

How I Felt That day
I dont know if I stood in the gab of a seer at that particular time but I know it was a Déjà vu to me seeing what I initially saw in my imagination coming to reality, I wouldn't have been a better Soothsayer if I didn't made it known to them. Am glad the mum and the baby are doing excellently fine and little Victoria has grown to be a big girl already.
