I just finished a proper First Aid Course recently. The first thing that I was taught was, that I must value my life first. Yes, it’s as selfish as it sounds. Much as I would like to save you… I have to think about MY life first.

Once the risks of me dying is eliminated, only can I help you.

Thing is, I was recently made aware of a mom… a mom who is joyfully pregnant with twins. And rather ironically, cancerous. To save her life, she would need to terminate their lives. But as a mother, when you are already so used to sacrificing… somehow, the value of your life is transcended into your babies. It’s like you don’t mind subtracting, as long it adds on to theirs.

While it will be so hard for people to understand, why God would want this to happen. A bad thing happening to a good person. It’s hard to wrap your head around that. But, God always has a purpose.

I wish I was worldly wise and prophetic to say that her tumultuous journey would give her babies, a renewed look on life. But who’s to say, her babies may resent living, because it caused their mother to suffer so.

One must find peace. Peace in life. Peace in death. Peace in the decisions we make. Peace in the realisation that wrong decisions were made. Peace in making it right again.

Life is full of bumps. Hard, soft, big, small ones. We all need them.
