Just wanted to share my testimony. You all know that I moved back to Doha in April 2009 with the intention of sponsoring my kids. My applications were being rejected each time I applied and it is already past a year that my applications were rejected. I had requested all of you guys to pray for the same issue.
Last week I had to go and meet with the committee members at the Ministry of Labour and guess what my application was rejected again. I knew all this was happening for a reason and was ready to go back to India as my kids visas were due to expire on 27 May. I learnt from my sister in India that all schools were full and there was no way I could admit kids in school. Also my husband who always wanted me and kids to go back to India told me not to go. I was a bit anxious about the whole thing that was happening and was unable to decide which way I am supposed to go.

I shared my anxiety with Dr Sathya in an email and she replied back to me immediately asking me not to listen to anybody just listen to the small still voice that my heart was hearing and that when God can deliver me and fulfill my heart's desires in the past he will definitely do it now. Believe me guys that gave me a lot of confidence and I held on to our living god claiming that HE WILL DO IT AND HE WILL MAKE A WAY WHERE THERE IS NO WAY. I continued praying fervently and our mandoop arranged for another interview for yesterday morning at 8 am. I went to the Ministry and was waiting for my mandoop, he did not turn up until 9.45am. He came finally and took me upstairs and after a few inquiries there told me to come back today morning at 7.30am.
I wasn't dissappointed because I knew God was designing a plan behind the scene and I went this morning, attended the interview and by 12.30pm my application was approved. Praise, Glory and Honour be only to our Great God. Amen. I sincerely thank you all for continuously interceding for me and kids regarding their visa approval and once again HE HAS DONE IT.

Even as I write this testimony my heart is filled with gratitude towards my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!! We have been married for 6 and half years now (married in December 2003) ...when we got married we decided not to have children for the first 3 years, we wanted to go by the World Standard and so wanted to plan for a baby and decided to wait for 3 years....soon after the 3 years had finished we realized this was one of the biggest mistakes we ever made...I believe in my heart we stopped our blessing! As the Word of God says in Psalm 127:3 "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward". We refused this reward of the Lord for 3 years....then when we decided we are ready to start a family we tried but failed to conceive...after 1 year of trying we went to the doctors to get ourselves checked and found out that there was nothing wrong in either of us and all reports were perfectly normal! That's when I began to seek the Lord's face and started to pray for a baby.....my husband joined me in my prayer to Lord!!
I clearly remember one evening while I was in my closet with tears in my eyes praying to God and reading the bible...I read the story of Hannah, I have known this story from Sunday school days but it became so true and meaningful to me that evening....I could relate to it...I could actually understand Hannah's cry....her sorrow...her pain....as I was going through the same....that's when I made a vow unto the Lord and said "Lord if you will remember your handmaid and not forsake me and bless me with a man child I will return this child back to you Lord, and I will name him Samuel because he is asked of you!"
I praise and thank God for AGC members who joined me in this prayer....they prayed alongside with me for 3 years... consistently.... I know my darling Padma mom also fasted and prayed for us I Thank God for her life she is such a blessing !! and in July 2009 I conceived....and we knew Samuel was conceived!What Joy filled our hearts!!
As the pregnancy progressed...by the Grace of God all was going well...however when I reached the 8th month the doctors diagnosed gestational high blood pressure and high sugar in me and I was put on blood pressure medication and a strict diet to control Sugar/protein levels! I was asked to report to the hospital every week for BP check....my due date given was 25th March....and when I went for my appointment in the beginning of March I was told the BP is not as good as it should be and that they may want me to deliver the baby before time....they said we will wait for 2 weeks and then make a decision...again we prayed and I believed that Samuel will not come early nor will he come late he will come in God's appointed time!! I was asked to stop work immediately and take complete bed rest as my BP was out of control...I was due to see my doctor on 15th march and on 9th March our Landlord decided to give us notice and asked us to vacate the villa this was sudden shock for us as I was due to deliver soon and we had to vacate the villa at the end of the month, so the following morning we went house hunting...we saw a lot of houses most of them villas some were 2 floors, some 3, and I was climbing stairs and walked much that morning which I was asked not to by the doctors due to my high BP in the afternoon I realized I had over exerted myself therefore decided to drop by at the hospital on the way home just to check my BP. When they checked it was so high they refused to let me go home and admitted me immediately, my husband rushed to the hospital from work and they said i must deliver the following morning using induced labor!! I refused to give birth 2 weeks before the due date as I thought they will induce labor artificially and end up with a C section delivery, but the doctors insisted I do as it was a critical and dangerous to wait...reluctantly we agreed...they induced me for labor at midnight! and my contractions / BP / protein /sugar levels were on a constant check all night! In the morning the doctor said they wanted to take me to the labor room for delivery I again was not happy since there were no contractions and no way did I want to have a C section the doctors somehow convinced me that there is no option & they must deliver me that day...and I was taken to the labor room and the contractions started and eventually by noon they became severe the blood pressure was rising as well and it went to as high as 183/130 mmhg, my husband was praying and so was I that the baby should come out normally! NO C section and finally at 2:59 PM Samuel was born normal birth except that they had to use a vaccum to pull him out at the head was big!!
It does not finish here!! when they removed him out and cut the umbilical cord the doctors noticed there were 2 tight knots one over the other in the umbilical cord which we were not aware of all this while, it never got tracked in any of the scans!! The doctor said this is a miracle baby! She said she is amazed at how the baby survived with these tight knots and I thanked the Lord there itself!! I told her I know this is indeed a miracle child and he survived because my God protected/preserved him right through..he provided for him food/oxygen supply even though there were knots in his cords, Its Only my God who can do these creative miracle...indeed he is a Miracle working God, when these knots were formed is still a mystery but I Know my God saved my child from every harm! The promise of the Lord from Proverbs 10:22 "The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it" became true in our life!! Today Samuel is 2 months and 11 days old...he is adorable and growing beautifully!!
I praise God for this wonderful Gift!! Indeed it is the Lord's doing and it's marvelous in our eyes!!! I want to encourage every woman out there who is reading this testimony and has the same prayer to have a baby has the same longing and yearning that I had for years....I just want to encourage you my sister that remember the word of God says in "Psalm 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made" Our God is an awesome God & he is able to fearfully and wonderfully make your child as well as he made mine..He is the Creator who will create your child who is to come inside your womb..his Word also says in Ecclesiastes 3:11 " He hath made everything beautiful in his time" Only if we learn to wait upon him! In his appointed time he will make all things beautiful for you as well so be encouraged!!
