The miracle that God did in me 👶🏽
by Brenda Santiago, Member of Mission Adelante Church
My name is Brenda Santiago, and today I would like to tell you about the miracle that God did in my life. In 2010 I married my husband, and when we tried to have a family - it didn't happen. We decided to visit a gynecologist, and after review, we found out that I have PCOS. Because of the cysts, my ovaries are of an abnormal size and the solution was to remove them. I learned then that it would be impossible for me to have children. That was one of the saddest days of my life. I thought that I could not give my husband children of my own, but now I see that God was preparing something special for my life.
I first talked to Jesus when I was 6 years old and I knew that only He can cure any disease because He is the God of the impossible. I remembered reading in the Bible: “children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” (Psalm 127: 3) Even though everything was very difficult, this promise strengthened my faith. I thought that God would not leave me without an inheritance and that was my prayer. Three years passed and I was invited to a three-day Christian event in the city of Roca Blanca, Oaxaca, Mexico. I talked to my husband and told him - "I want to go, I know that God is going to fulfill my miracle there."
It was the second day of the meeting and in the morning session while they were ministering to the families the pastor said, “Come and ask God for what you most long for.” I passed by and prayed: Lord, you know what I am longing for. When I finished saying these words I could feel something that entered inside of me; a fire ran through my belly and burned me inside. Suddenly I heard a voice in my ear, it was a girl who told me, "Don’t speak, just thank Him because He is already answering you." I got up and felt light, like my burden was gone. The event ended and I returned to my city, and I told my husband and we both thought that at any moment we would have a baby. A month later I started to feel weird, so I bought a pregnancy test and it came back positive! I was so happy the day that the blood test confirmed that we were expecting a child! I thanked God very much for having answered my prayer. On October 8, 2013, I was able to have that miracle in my arms. Today, I have two daughters for the glory of God. When science said “no”, GOD said “yes!”
If you are in this same situation or you are asking God for a miracle for a different reason. I want to tell you, DON'T LOSE FAITH. God is an expert at doing extraordinary things for those who believe him and hold on to his promises.
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1
