Testimony: Trusting In A Faithful God!

In early 2001, I resigned from my hectic job. This hectic job required me to be on 24 x 7 standby. Though the salary was attractive, but it really stressed me up. So, I tendered my resignation without any job offer on hand.

One day, I went for a job interview at Suntec City. After the interview, I walked back to City Hall MRT. I had lower abdomen pain while I was walking. I didn't know what had happened to me. When I reached home, I started to have slight bleeding. I thought I was having my mensus. But the discharge disappeared on the following days and I continued to have lower abdomen pain. Then I was prompted to do a pregnancy test. And I found out that I WAS PREGNANT!!!

No words could describe how I felt at that moment. I was overjoyed because I have been waiting for this miracle child for more than a year. But on the other hand, I was wondering how was I going to get a job with my pregnancy. I called dear hubby immediately and he was SO EXCITED with the good news!! Less than 2wks ago, we were both involved in two car accidents and I was so thankful that God has watched over us and our unborn child!!

We went to see my gynae and was told that I was in my 4wks pregnancy. But gynae said he couldn't detect any heartbeat. I was shocked. For the next few weeks, I continued to have bleeding occasionally and was ordered a bed rest. The pregnancy was not an easy one as I was down with severe morning sickness. It's so bad that I could not eat or drink. As a result, I was hospitalised due to dehydration. But it's also through this hospitalisation, God has blessed us with a better gynae and lower consultation fee too:p He's more optimistic and his advices were valuable. And the best of all, the baby heartbeat was detected by then!! Praise the Lord!

God was good and He saw me through. By 12th week, I was up and ready to eat anything I craved for such as roti prata, curry, fried meehoon and etc:-) God has blessed me with a great in-laws. My MIL has been looking after me throughout the ordeal and bought me food that I craved for:p

With our HUGE outstanding loans and my jobless status, we're not struck by fear. God has blessed me with a flexible job. It helped to lighten dear hubby's burden and provided me with more time to rest. When dear daughter was born, she was cheerful and love to laugh:D And I wish to tell you that all our outstanding loan were paid off by 2005!!! Praise the LORD!

I hope that this testimony will serve as an encouragement to those who may be walking on a path of bleakness or going through the darkest hours of their lives. We may not always understand why certain things happen in life, but what I've learnt is when it comes to God, all we need to do is to continue trusting and believing in Him.
