44-year Old Ex-Super Falcons Striker Patience Celebrates Birth Of First Child


Former Super Falcons forward Patience Avre has welcomed the arrival of her first child this week


The former Super Falcons forward became a mother at the age of 44 after announcing the birth of her first baby on Friday.


After her safe delivery, Avre has since joined her husband at their home in Chicago, Illinois, United States, to celebrate the birth of a new boy, Oritse Laju.


Days after the birth was announced, she took to social media to share a video post of her dancing with her husband and baby on Sunday.


As posted on her Instagram page as cited by Sports Central, Avre wrote: "Our bundle of joy is here. We are grateful for the gift of him. "God made all things beautiful in his time. In his time, the perfect time he gave OritseLaju to us. Our beloved son, Laju in whom we are well pleased. You're welcome to our world of wonders. You are a priceless awesome gift to us and your generation. "Oh, how I love your cute loving face. How I love your chuckling, your sweet smiles light up stars in my bowels. I bless you today and always. You will live to fulfil your purpose. You grow tall, strong, and healthy. "Yes, you will grow in wisdom and in the fear of the Lord. Your life is beautiful. Your days are blessed. Rejoicing in the order of your day(s). You are kept and preserved by the power of God. We love you, baby.


Avre was seen at the 2000 Olympics in Australia and also competed in three women's world championships, first in Sweden in 1995, followed by the United States in 1999 and the last outing in China in 2003.


The highlight of her career came when she scored the second goal in a 3-3 draw with Canada at the Women's World Cup and appeared in the country's historic quarter-finals in the United States in 1999.


The retired attacker, who now works as a nurse in Chicago, used to reflect on her previous pregnancy experiences and thanked God for the safe delivery of her first child.


Avre said: "He has made me glad. I am so glad. "I will rejoice for he has made me glad. Some said it can't be. Others mocked when I had miscarriages in the past, that it was faked. In pains and grief, I find solace in God's promise that he will make me a joy-full mother of children. "In all and through all, God is God. God is true and every man a liar. God is a good God. His goodness flows to all, even to the undeserving. "I bless the name of God, who made it possible. Who kept me strong, hale, and healthy throughout my pregnancy. To my ever-loving, caring and supportive husband, friend and father, I say thank you. I love you, darling. "Special thanks to my Pastor, Abraham Adesayo and the entire CFAN, Chicago. Yes the God of Pastor Abraham, who is my God has done it. "Thank you Pastor for standing with us in prayers. God bless my family and friends, for their love, prayers and encouragement. God is a good God.
