Today is my birthday and I have decided to write this to refresh us on the difficult times moms experienced during the pregnancy and their joy after birth. The conclusion is the truth I foresee about myself, expressed in affirmations. Toiling, toiling, toiling A journey of nine moons in anguish The path of agony travel without rush Joy forseen drives and encourages its sojourners The end is glory on the faces of the announcers ![130681-283x424-Uncomfortable_Pregnant_Woman.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUiYKbdXw8XiUUppzzD9SYhxku1ZTrNFL9Jtcd5Ay4cHt/130681-283x424-Uncomfortable_Pregnant_Woman.jpg) [source]( https://www.google.com.gh/search?q=a+pregnant+woman+in+agony&client=tablet-android-tecno&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjNs_CfgtXbAhWDW8AKHQxQCnsQ_AUIESgB&biw=600&bih=1024#imgrc=waYxqxjoFeD8BM:) The bells are ringing The journey of anguish has ended Agony has in its own time without rush ceased The desire and pain of the sojourners has yielded good And the announcers like a shinny weather declare the glorious news The successful arrival of a child as the fall of the rains in harmattan ![Gina.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbqFDzWpXRENFupxU2A96aKo2C3K4zWJQxoGFsocrTik5/Gina.jpg) [source](https://www.google.com.gh/search?q=the+joy+of+labored+woman&client=tablet-android-tecno&prmd=vin&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjpi8CthNXbAhWNasAKHd9xBsgQ_AUIEigC&biw=600&bih=1024#imgrc=APNp30BMwazpzM:) June 15 was the end of that harsh journey for my mom The joy of my arrival overwhelmed the undescribable pains of nine months Her joy was as the joy of a country on her day of independence Grown have I today, to see the joy of them who were favored To witness my birth and next generations enjoyed Not exaggerating, not limiting but affirming what's written of me My Creator is the Greatest Potry My history written of me before existence I am honourable I am whole I am divine workmanship of my Father I am just preciously made unto good works I am far above condemnation and principalities I am shielded by armor of strength and power And finally, I am love ![IMG-20180319-WA0020.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQTkJQ5bW8mkCmnD5sd9RwbwM2HYpHDWTDZ82CPKf1JHZ/IMG-20180319-WA0020.jpg) Thanks to the Universe for another year. Happy birthday to myself, @patrix.
