I need to share my TESTIMONY

Lia • Married ♡ Trusting in God

Good day, all.

I have to share something really special. We recently found out that I am expecting again after numerous previous losses. I have been trying to remain optimistic, but worry has been getting the better of me.

Last night I was home alone (my husband was working) and I struggled to fall asleep due to some bad cramping that has been increasing over the past few days.

I silently tried to pour my heart out to God. I've been battling with 'connecting' with my Saviour the past time. I told God how I am doubting my pregnancy and that I have a fear that our baby has, yet again, died. After a deep 'coversation' with Him a dozed off.

NOW THIS IS WHERE MY TESTIMONY COMES IN...

I woke up from my light sleep after hearing myself saying OUT LOUD "Ok, Lord, we will name her Talitha."

I was startled since I was home alone and had heard a voice although I know it was my own. I made a note and went back to sleep.

This morning when I woke up I Googled the meaning of the name Talitha. I will copy and paste this part:

"Talitha is an uncommon femininename meaning "little girl" in Aramaic, given in reference to the Biblical story in the Gospel of Mark in which Jesus Christ was said to have resurrected a dead child with the words "Talitha cumi" or "Talitha kum" or "Talitha koum," meaning "Little girl, I say to you, arise!"

Oh. My. God. I was in awe.

We don't know the sex of our baby yet but I believe God spoke to me last night and heard my prayers. I will forever honor Him and our baby girl will be named Talitha.

I am still somewhat worried and I am still experiencing bad cramps but I believe that if my Lord wants us to raise this child she will be fine.

God bless.
