TITLE: I AM PREGNANT 🤰
 
 I AM PREGNANTWhile taking a nap in the hot sunny afternoon, suddenly I heard my aunt calling my name, "Retplang", immediately, she tapped me on my back and I screamed "I AM PREGNANT" I then woke up fully. I saw the confusion in my aunt's eyes and shock written all over her face.... she said to me, Retplang, what did I just heard from your mouth, that you are pregnant?, You said you are pregnant, you this useless good for nothing child, every time we go to church you'll carry microphone and be singing, meanwhile you are sleeping with men. After sending you to school with my heart earned money, you decided to crown all my efforts with unwanted pregnancy. You are a shame and a disgrace to your parents, God forbid. And let me tell you something, go pack your things, you are leaving my house back to your parents in the village, go and meet them, God knows I have tried my best...." Immediately, she called grandma to tell her that I said I pregnant, Grandma told my mum and she began to shout, I knew it, I told her that she is stubborn and her stubbornness will bring her into trouble, sheet she has seen it now....Soon the news that I am pregnant spread like a wild fire everywhere, Pastor said "A whole M.D is pregnant, Sister Retplang, you are a disgrace to the church, you'll no longer occupy that position."  Church members "so this sister is like this, green snake in a green grass, hypocrite."  Facebook friends "No wonder, it's been long she posted a picture online, so she is actually like this and she'll be preaching to people on Facebook, pretenders do the worst"  Boyfriend, "so this babe has been cheating on me all this while, after promising her heaven and Earth, serves her right.   Everyone with his or her comment without a confirmation from the hospital whether I was truly pregnant or not. A meeting was quickly held in the family because of me, Daddy called my name" Retplang, I am your father, I married your mother and she gave birth to you and your brothers, why then have you decided to bring shame to us? Why? Tell us, who is responsible for the pregnancy?? I told him "daddy , I am not pregnant"  but you said you are pregnant or you think we are kids and don't know what we are saying, you said it with your mouth that you are pregnant, am not going to kill you, I just want to know who is responsible." Daddy, while I was sleeping in the afternoon, I had a dream and I heard someone telling me that..,....."my aunt immediately cut in, why are you telling us stories, who is the father of the useless child you are telling stories, "Aunty, please allow her to talk, my dad intervened, so what did the person tell you?".  He told me that like Sarah, the wife of Abraham, I am carrying nations in my womb, he said Great nations are inside me and when the time comes I'll travail and the world shall see the greatness God has blessed me with, he said out of my belly shall flow Rivers of living water and finally he said to me 'You are Pregnant and he asked me to say it personalizing it, of which I did and I woke up screaming "I AM PREGNANT" After telling them my dream, everyone was silent and in deep thoughts, all those who insulted me apologized. As children of God, we are carrying nations in our womb, we are pregnant with great ideas, it is left for everyone to discover his or her purpose and make use of it before we finally die. Die empty, God loaded us with those gifts so we can impact our generation, so make good use of your own, don't go to the grave with your talents unused.
