Psalm 77.14
You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
Our Lord is Great and Good. He fulfills his promises. We’re really grateful.
We got married in October 2022, and a month later I became pregnant.
We were very happy to welcome a baby. Then, three months later, we went to the doctor, and the next day I lost the baby.
We got up quickly, knowing that the Lord would do it again for us.
A few months later, I became pregnant again. And three months later, I lost the baby again.
At that moment, I began to have and doubt filled my heart. And my prayer life weakened.
And after this second pregnancy, I decided to go to HSC, ‘Holy Spirit College’.
And so, as I was being taught at the HSC, I realized that having a child had become an idol in my heart. Indeed, idols are not just statues, but anything that takes the place of God in our lives.
This desire to have a child was taking up a lot of space inside me, and preventing me from keeping my eyes on the Lord. And during the courses at Holy Spirit College, all this was completely exposed. So we needed to remove that with a lot of prayer.
And during those teachings at Holy Spirit College, we talked about living in the spirit. So I realized that I simply had to bless the Lord because he had already accomplished everything.
Just after that, I got pregnant for the third time.
And two months later, I lost the baby again. But this time, I still had the desire to continue blessing the Lord.
I understood that I had to continue to remove many things from my heart.
Then I got pregnant for the fourth time, and this time, right from the start, we all started praying non-stop. I prayed while standing on the rock, because I knew the Lord would do it.
That’s how I prayed every day with my pastor; and my parents also supported me in prayer.
I understood that the baby is not mine, but belongs to God. And when I prayed, it wasn’t for myself, but for the glory of God.
By God’s grace, the pregnancy went so well. And the Lord even touched the hearts of my bosses, who let me work whenever I wanted.
God’s time is always the best. And he does everything for his own glory. And when I see my son today, I give all the glory to God for what He has done.
