My Testimony (The Full Story)
On The 19th Of August 2017 My Name Changed From Being A Waiting Mother To A Nursing Mother After 7years… I Am Back To Give God All The Glory For Changing My Story, You Lord Did it For Us, We Will Forever Glorify Your Name…
7years Ago, I Was an Object of Mockery, Laughter, Insults and What Have You.. Some Acussed me of Being A Witch and Also Bewitching my Husband for not Seeing any Reason to Send me Away after all these Years of Childlessness…

I Got Married and was looking forward to Holding my Baby in my Arms after 9months just like Everyone Expected, I Had A Miscarriage in The First Year of my Marriage and in The Second Year Had A Baby Girl that Died at Child Birth Due to Preclamsia and after that, my Fallobian Tubes Got Blocked, took all sorts of fertility Treatments to no Avail, Kept Going From One Doctor To Another, From One Hospital to Another yet No solution until we Finally Decided to Embrace IVF Which We Did In 2015 …
The IVF Failed and the Doctors really didn’t Have any Concrete Reasons as to why it Did, One of My Doctors Told me that maybe IVF Wasn’t God’s Way for me to Have My Children..
I Was Devastated, I Cried my Eyes Out and Asked God So Many Questions, I Still Didn’t Give Up, We kept on Trying until A Miracle Happened, One of my Blocked Tubes Became Opened after the IVF, I Thought it would Soon be over at the Report from the Doctor but it Never Was, the Waiting Continued, this time around, I was Visiting the Hospital Every month at The Sign of the Red Flag..
Another Set of Fertility Procedures Began, tried IUI Countless of Times until it got to the point that my Doctor Gave up on me, I was Told I Had no Eggs and there was nothing they could expect I get an Egg Donor and try if that might work for me…
(Men’s Ways are not the ways of God) At This Point, I Gave Up on Everything, for me to Have Gotten to this Stage was because I Had A Very Supportive Husband, I had long Given up after the IVF Failed but He kept Encouraging me and Giving me Hope that one-day, it would be A Story to Share..
After I got the News of me not having Eggs, I said to my self, enough of me being a genine Fowl in the hands of Doctors, I would go for Adoption, We were at the Point of Concluding the Process When I Found out I was Pregnant, I Didn’t Even Know I Was 9weeks Gone When I Visited the Hospital and did A Scan…
My Doctor didn’t Believe it, she had to Personally Scan me to see for Her Self, She cried, called out every Staff of the Hospital on Duty that Day to come See a Miracle, I Cried like a Baby when I saw the Heart beat of my Child on The Screen…
I Had Cried so many Days and Nights during my Years of Waiting but This Time, it was Different, it Was Tears of Joy… I Rushed Back Home to Break the News to My Husband Who Was Already Suspecting that I Could be Pregnant, you can Only Imagine how He Felt, we both cried, Laughed, Screamed, Prayed and Danced, it’s a Joy that is better Experienced than Explained….
God Saw me Through the 9months Journey in Good Health, my Baby Growing Everyday and This Time Around, it Ended in Praise, I Didn’t Go Home Empty Handed to The Glory of God, Jesus Did it, He Put An End to the years of Weeping and Turned me into a Celebrity Over Night, Those who Mocked Us and Said All Sorts Concerning Us Where There on the Day of the Naming and Baby Dedication to Rejoice With Us….
I want to Encourage you Never to Give Up, No matter the Report you Have Being Given, Hold On to Your Faith, know that There is A God In Heaven who Can Turn Things Around for your Good at His own Time… In all our years of Waiting, We Remained Focus in the Lord, don’t move from place to place in the Name of Searching for a Miracle, trust God Alone To change your story, He Did it For Us, He Will Do it For You…
Dear Family, Friends and Neighbors, if you can not Encourage anyone in such Situation Positively, Please Let Them Be, it’s Only God That Gives Children…
If you are Married and you find yourself in such situations, please Support Each other Financially, Morally and Prayerfully…its not a time to apportion Blames or look for an Alternative way that is not Right before God, it’s a test of your Love for Each Other, it’s a Time to Bond more and a Time to Enjoy Each Others Company while you Wait, Know that nothing Last Forever and You will Surly Overcome…
Thanks To Everyone Who Supported Us During This Period in one Way or the Other, We Remain Grateful…
My Precious Daughter is One Year Old Today, Please Shower Her With Your Prayers..”
