I have never had a reason to celebrate myself on my birthday but this year hits different so let me start by telling y'all a very brief story and trust me it's non- fiction.

   When my late grand mother passed away over 28 years ago my mom constantly had dream's with her but when my mom was two months pregnant with me she had an unusual dream and in that dream my grandmother asked her…..Do you know what you are carrying? You are Carrying a baby girl and this girl is me,my reincarnation.

My mom took this words in her heart and trusted them without going for scanning to know the sex of the child,low and behold my mom gave birth to a baby girl.

    Through this story I got to find out that my name would have been Martina 😂😂I.e my grandmother's name and surprising enough we share same traits, looks,behaviors and the love we both have for my mom😊 that's why I call her my Baby.

   It's weird knowing I am a reincarnation,I see it as a myth or superstitious belief but, I believe this one because immediately my birth the dreams seized and this is the last dream my mom had with her late mother. Knowing I am a reincarnation has signified  that I am here  to complete and fulfill my divine purpose here on earth,realizing this has made me to be hard on myself, transforming my weakness to strength,taking hard decisions, taking lessons from my mistakes,the intentional act of self -reinvention ,discipline,determination and most importantly my encounter with Grace.

Every single day of 365 days I have learnt to acknowledge and flaunt  grace because without Grace there will be no reincarnation and there will be no me. Many at times I fall and make bad choices but ,there is Grace  smiling back at me in her meekness, calmness and kindness,retracing and lighting my path.

The gift of  God's grace is worth more than diamond's and Rubie's,its like a fountain that never dries and never seizes to fall,Grace speaks the time language of God for without Grace there is no time.

    I now have a reason to celebrate myself  because I  am a biological and biblical product of Grace and to also appreciate God for his Overwhelming and reckless love towards me. Everyday he keeps showing me how good it can get. As I work in alignment with his will and purpose for me I get refined and rebranded.

I found myself and Grace found me😊
