Devastation Struck On October 28, 2025 , Jamaica experienced the most devastating Hurricane known as Melissa . As a teenager, I experienced Ivan but I was now ready to face a new Category 5 contender known as Melissa. Her only counterpart I knew about was " Wild Gilbert " which crippled the island in 1988. When I heard that it would severely impact the Western part of the island , I went on an online prayer vigil on October 27, 2025 and I repented on behalf of my household. Melissa visited my home at approximately 1:30 pm in the afternoon on October 28 in all her rage and fury. She tried to take the awnings on the verandah but my family and I wrestled with her to lose her hold.

I’m learning that motherhood isn’t always easy. Some days are long and exhausting, filled with endless tasks and sleepless nights that test your patience. There are moments when you feel completely overwhelmed, and it’s okay to admit that. The weight of responsibility can feel heavy and the challenges can seem never ending.
But in the middle of it all, God reminds me of one unchanging truth: children are a blessing from the Lord (Psalm 127:3). Every little smile, every laugh, even the lessons learned through tears are gifts meant to enrich our lives and shape our hearts.
When the days feel long and my energy is low, I try to pause and reflect: God entrusted me with this precious life because He believes in my strength and love. My child isn’t just my responsibility, she's my joy, my purpose, and a constant reminder of God’s goodness.
So whether it’s a day filled with chaos or quiet moments of connection, I hold on to this truth. Motherhood may be challenging, but it is also a sacred calling, overflowing with blessings beyond measure.
