10 years ago, God answered my prayer and gave me a baby girl. I say it as a testimony to show that, like the Bible says “With God, all things are possible”. Some people might find it hard to believe in something that they have never seen, but I was born and raised in a church and believing that there is this Almighty Powerful God that when you ask him for something, he does not fail you like humans might, He will come through for you and always be there for you answer your prayer.
When I met my now husband, I had to endure a big test of my faith, since he did not serve God, for 6 years I prayed for him, and in 2001, my husband accepted the Lord. We already had a 5 year old son at that time, and the doctors had told me that that was going to be my only child because I developed a condition in my ovaries that would not allow me to conceive another child. But I started praying to God, I speak to him like I would speak to a friend. I said “Lord, I know that you have come thru for me before and I ask again that you give me the chance to have another baby. Not only did I ask with all my heart and faith, but I specifically prayed for a girl and that I wanted her to have my looks. It may sound funny and demanding, but I knew who I was talking to, My Lord never failed me before and if there was someone that could do it, He can. 1 year later my prayers were answered, against all odds, God gave me a beautiful baby Girl, just like her mama.
I was thrilled to be pregnant, but I did not come without a challenge. When I went to the doctor for my first checkup, my faith was put to the test. The doctor told me that due to my condition and also having a rare blood type, the baby might have complications at birth. I felt my heart coming out of my chest at that point. The doctor kept going on and on explaining all the
bad things my baby could develop and the entire battery of tests I would need to endure. I went home
