What's The Story of Your Birth?

 I was brought into this world by metallic fingers that yanked me out of my mother's womb. What a strong woman!

It was difficult. I was difficult.

 A sign. 

Wait...a sign? What sign? And who's giving the signal?

Those were some of the versions surrounding my birth. That Saturday night, Ward 6 at Mulago Hospital.

 

My life, marred by difficulty, has also seen diamonds formed from coal and because I desire it to, continues to experience laughter, dance and blessings. 

What was your birth like?

Was there a sign, some convoluted narrative? 

Or was it a well-meaning prophecy that you've seen unfold?

 What were you told? That labour pangs hit in the middle of an important decisive exam, or that it was the result of a tempestuous romance? ⚡

Was there no room in the inn?

Whatever happened, you're here now.

The Nnabagereka of Buganda, Queen Sylvia Nagginda Luswata. Now, that was a birth. Under no circumstance was her birth filled with signs and wonders of a Queen in waiting. 👑

Born in England in 1962 to unwed parents who were students, given up for adoption at just a few months and then raised by her grandparents.

What part of that story tells you that there was a Queen in waiting?

How about you? What was the story of your birth?

What was the story of your childhood?

And what's your story today? Remember, you're in the middle of God's work. 

I was highly blessed to receive an advanced copy of The Nnaabagerekea's captivating biography.

A story that weaves from the unknown until it dispels onto a fascinating surface, written by Dr. Dennis Sempebwa (PhD), Pastor, Speaker, Leadership Trainer, formerly with the gospel group, Limit X.

When copies hit the bookstores, buy yours immediately.

Bless!
