My Miracle Baby
My Miracle Baby

By: Caroline Rodriguez

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

    “Lord please save my sister’s life. Please keep her safe even in the midst of her drunkenness and drugs. Jesus please keep her alive long enough to come to you for salvation.” I have been praying this for over 30 years and still I believe for her salvation. I am comforted by the knowledge that He hears my cries and has kept her alive thus far. In fact, last week she approached me about going to church again (she hasn’t gone since she was in middle school)!…

    We all have had moments of tragedy and despair. It is in our darkest hour that many of us pray to God for comfort, I believe he answers our prayers when we are ready. We need to understand that asking God for material things will probably be ignored, that the greatest gifts we receive from God come from what we live and learn. For instance, my life was very difficult in many ways. I came from a home plagued by mental disease and addiction, it was a very lonely existence and I had often prayed for peace and to be loved unconditionally by another person. It did not seem like too much to want from life, however inside me grew resentment and anger. I was not ready to be loved or for a peaceful existence because I had not even loved myself. Over twenty years I lived my life angry at God for not giving me what seemed basic for most people and it consumed me to the point of near death. I saw what I had become, but now I had a child and I did not want her to feel the pain that I felt. If I did not change, it would just be repeating the vicious cycle. A very life altering decision was made and I began to heal from my past, but I still had a long journey ahead. I still felt lost and needed someone to understand. Finally I begged God to show me…

    That little girl was me, Olexis Haymon. On that day my best friend, my sister, my confidant was diagnosed with cancer. No one knows how much pain this disease can cause until they experience it. My sister was only twenty years old and had to fight for her life for two years. Although I was only eleven, I had to act as an adult. I had to give my sister a bath, change her diaper, feed her, clean her port, and the worst part was to hold her as she cried. I had to miss numerous days of school to care for her as my parents worked to keep food on our table and lights on in our home. I prayed for her to recover, but two years later God…

    Leaning on God during this tough time helped my family and I get through it. Even though my grandpa is no longer with us, I now feel like I have an extra body looking over me. When I am working out, or competing, or even going through my normal everyday route, I know that my grandpa is right by my side leading me in the right direction. I do not think I would feel this way if I would not have turned to God during this difficult time and leaned on my…

    For instance, during my 8th grade year my best friend succumbed to juvenile Diabetes and passed away in her sleep. If it was not for the hope that delving into God’s word granted me, I cannot imagine how I would have handled the situation. I read many comforting scriptures, most notably John 14:1-3…

    I had asked my mom, “Why did God choose me to have seizures?” My mom said “God has given you this challenge because he knows that you are strong, you will overcome this and you are going to help change lives for other people battling epilepsy and show them that life does not have to stop”. At that time, I had two choices. I could give up and allow Epilepsy to take over or I could make the decision to not let Epilepsy win and fight it until the end. I was not going to allow this to defeat me or change my dreams of being a baseball player.…

    My family aboard the boat began to worry for one another safety. We were now in a life-threatening storm on the midst of a furious river. I observed the innocence of a child in my niece as the depressing look of fear surrounded her shivering, cold, wet body. Yet, she remained hopeful and prayed to God for eternal life in Heaven. We cried out desperate prayers while the raging storm pounded our pontoon boat like a boxing match. My grandfather maintained the courage and strength and proceeded to steer the boat in the horrific scene.…

    The being pregnant part was actually really awesome. I was hungry all the time and got to eat pretty much anything and everything to my hearts content. I was always sleepy but best of all never did I get nauseous, which oh my gosh I was so happy for! You get to go to the doctor ALOT and the list of the things you can do is a short story compared to the novel that is the list of things you cant do. The very first feelings you feel of the baby moving feels like you have butterflies in your stomach and getting to hear the heart beat, now that is one of the best sounds in the world. I read What to Expect When You're Expecting like it was the bible. It tells you everything about the baby, their progress, what they look like at each stage and I was obsessed with it. At about five months that's when you get to find out the sex. That was the day I couldn't wait for. I wanted a girl so bad! I tried hard not to get my hopes up. Don't get me wrong I would love my child either way, but ever since that first day, that second line I couldn't stop thinking the word girl, girl, GIRL! I knew it, even though I told myself I didn't. My heart sank at first when the ultra sound nurse said “Do you see these three dots?” I instantly thought “okay cool its a boy, good thing I still have time to pick out a name” but as the nurse went on she said “congratulations your having a girl.” My mom who was with me just exploded into pure excitement, she had her three grandsons now the first granddaughter, and me, well I felt like I won the lottery. Picking out a name was also pretty easy seeing as how I already picked it out when I was 15, Riley, after my grandfather. I never got to meet him but I've always heard what an amazing person he was and I was in love with his name, but I had to make it its own so I decided to spell it Rylee. After that its pretty much 4 long fat months of you putting baby furniture together, buying clothes,…

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    My life seemed to be going downhill faster than that bat that flew straight for my head. For about a year I lived in misery, living the life of a victim. Blaming everyone and everything for all that was going wrong with my life. I had lost what I thought was everything, my children, my home, my job and even stopped going to church. Then one day a friend of mine asked me to ride with her to a nearby town where her friend had just moved back from Dallas to. I reluctantly said yes and went on the hour drive to the middle of nowhere town. As we pulled up to the house of her friend I saw a beautiful young woman sitting on a wooden rocking chair with her arms in the air waving us down. Once we parked we sat on the porch with the friend and listened to her speak about all the great things God had been doing in her life since she surrendered all to Him. I sat there listening and arguing with myself on what it was I needed to do to get my life out of the rut it was in. I looked up at her and she caught my eye and said to me “God has called you to great things Katie, He just asks that you trust…

    It was almost 5am on July 17, 1996, when I was rushed to the hospital. I was balled up in the back seat of my mother in laws car, biting down on a towel because the pain was so unbearable. I heard him say “it’s ok baby… ” just as another jolt of pain came. As his voice faded I could feel him rubbing my back, and I tried my best to listen to his voice and forget the pain. It was impossible though, the baby was coming and there was no turning back now.…

    For me, it was the struggle I was going to have to face with the death of my father. Finally, after struggling with whether or not to comply with my father’s last wish I chose to go home against his wish. I arrived with just enough time to help comfort my mom and see my father. Three days after being home my father passed. This was the most difficult situation that my family had to face and we all had to support one another. My faith was tested not just because of the loss of my father, but also the Catholic Church we had my father’s funeral at refused to do last rights. If you don’t’ know anything about Roman Catholics you need all seven sacraments to go enter heaven. My father had all his sacraments, except last rights given to him. The next line, I took this as a sign, God wanted me to sing! (81), interpretation of this line is, we all have to accept the issue at hand so we get past the tragic event so we can heal and be happy. For me it was not so easy, I am ask god, will my father be allowed to go to heaven as approached his coffin at his viewing. I continued to ask the same question over and…

    I believe in hope. I’m not talking the kind of hope you have when you are “hoping” for a new car to just appear in your driveway, or the kind of hope you have when you “hope” for a new job. No. I am talking about the hope that is necessary for survival. That hope which allows you to persevere through hardships in life because you believe-you know-that there is something better waiting on down the road. This is the hope I believe we all must have, and I found this hope for the very first time when I was just 12.…

    My Personal Faith

    My faith has enabled me to handle life challenges from my past and present. Some of these challenges have been series of events that I could hardly believe were happening, while others came with great joy. At five years old, my younger brother, Chandler, died unexpectedly. This was a tough challenge for my whole family to face. This challenge could have easily torn my family apart but together, as a team with God, we worked hard at picking up the pieces and moving forward even when there were days that seemed to be impossible. In the fifth grade, I was diagnosed with a common learning disability known as Attention Deficit Disorder. I am faced with this challenge on a daily basis. I have learned to cope with this disorder over the years by making prayer and patience priorities in helping me conquer this challenge. This challenge was especially difficult during my SAT and ACT tests. Certain scores on these tests were required to get into college and play NCAA football. The stress and pressure of taking these tests felt unbearable at times. While studying and before and during each test, I would remind myself that, through God, all things are possible. With God by my side, I was able to achieve the scores needed to reach my college and athletic goals.…
