With the few years I've spent so far in life, I have had moments I've come to regret my actions, moments I get to scold myself with no one's intervention, moments I realized I shouldn't have said what I said, moment I did something I shouldn't have done or moments when I realized I should have done what I didn't do and the next and only thing I could think of is If only I could be given a second chance then I would have loved to set things right even if I'm still not sure I might still be able to set them right.
One of the many opportunities I've had to lose and caused me great pain was losing an aunt when I probably had an opportunity to save her.
We were in a prayer session that day and there was a directive and instruction for every pregnant woman to come out for prayer against maternal death at the point of labour.
That day, I had that great push in me, pushing me hard in my mind to go out and follow the instruction but then I thought about it; I'm not married yet so me going out for a pregnant woman prayer will definitely cause the church to start talking about me that I am pregnant out of wedlock when I'm actually not pregnant. So I decided to save myself from such situation and stay put at my seat.
Little did I know I was been pushed to go out on behalf of someone close to me which was my aunt. I never knew she was pregnant. I never knew she was heavy and close to her delivery date until the day came and we were called that she gave up the ghost during child birth.
I cried, I wailed, condemned and blamed myself for her death. I knew God wanted to save her but I failed to follow his instruction so I blamed myself for it and shouldered the blame.....
Till date, I wish I could rewind the hands of time for a second chance and follow the lead I got in me that day to just go out and turn a blind eye on what people would say.

That is a terribly regrettable loss of your beloved Aunt @afrikens
As I understand God's word , God always gives many second chances and often in ways we don't realize but for his glory.

Yeahhh you're so right. He gives us many chances even when we thought the slots are no more.
Thanks for the reminder. It is appreciated 😊
I absolutely love this verse of the bible, especially because of the reason you gave. It does give us clarity on how a loving father treats his children's sins. The forgiveness that's ever present for us, even when we don't listen.
Thank you for taking the time to read different posts from the LOH community. I've been seeing your comments, and it's just lovely. Hugs!🫂🌸

We all have moments like this, we can’t turn the hands of time but what we can do is learn from them and to not repeat the same mistakes and simply just be better. ✨

So sorry for your loss, you don't have to blame yourself too much just follow your heart always.
Yeahh a lesson I learnt in a hard way. Thank you for your words
Hi dear, I'm really sorry about the loss of your loved one. I genuinely would not blame her fate on your refusal to listen to the meek voice that called out to you. But I know that experience has become a lesson for you, to always act according to what your spirit says because our body languages exist to tell us a thing or two.
Sending you lots of hugs.🫂🌸
Thanks Yechee. Sure I have learned my lessons
