This is a testimony that I've given several times before now and that has been published in the chruch newsletter and read out in other churches and i'm going to share it here now.
For as long as I've known, i have always wanted children. The thought of having my own children would fill me with delight and excitement. So when I noticed at a young age that my menstrual cycles weren't normal or regular I was worried and went to see a doctor. I went from one doctor to the next and after a number of tests, no one could tell me exactly where the problem was. Their reassurance was that there was no problem as such, UNLESS I was trying to have children. However, needless to say, this WAS a problem, greater to me than most problems. So this left me quite worried and somewhat anxious.
Eventually when the time finally came, when my husband, Kingsley, and I decided to start our little family,the months were passing with no results. However, our attitude towards the situation was that we would leave it in God's hands and that he will give us what we want when the time is right.
So one Sunday while in church we were asked to pray for our individual wants and needs while pastor Jide prayed for us. So I started praying to God with all my heart that I would fall pragnant. Now as soon as I prayed that in my heart, the pastor while praying for us aloud, with his eyes closed and hand up asked God to let those who can't have children bear a child. The coincidence fo timing startled me and in reaction I opened my eyes to notice that his hand happened to be over me..again by coincidence. From that moment something told me that this month...this month my dreams would come true.
Sure enough, praise God, the following Thursday, I found out that I was pregnant. Finally we were going to be parents.
I later told Kingsley about my prayers and about what had happened in church the previous Sunday and surprisingly enough he had his own little story to tell me. A week or two before then, he was having a conversation with pastor Jide, who just casually asked my husband how his son was (knowing full well that we didn't have any children). Kingsley took it as a joke and laughed it off saying "not yet sir" but the reply to that was that he was mistaken and that God is sending him one sooner than he thinks. While he was telling me this I was astonished and overwhelmed because at that moment I had no doubt in my mind that this was a miracle from God for which I could never give enough thanks.
Today Kingsley and I are the proud parents of a healthy boy named Zane who was born on the 2nd of march 2007. And incidentally the name Zane means gift from God.
