Tamil trouble miracle

Small Testimony to encourage all mom's: My son Benjamin (10yr old) always had dislikes about leaning and writing Tamil. Already he used to make our life difficult everyday to take him to school and homeworks or studies he did it with a tough exercise for me and him.adding to it Tamil is something he used to run away and I always requested his Tamil teachers to take extra care for him at school as I couldn't deal with him and I remembered he had 30mins extra classes when he was in 2nd std as he didn't know to recognize the letters too.More than.marks or academics I was concerned that somehow he should learn to read and write his mother tongue well.(I have seen few,who can't read or write Tamil properly.who disliked Tamil.in young age)..In the covid ,things became more worse and taking him was a big challenge.Back again to school graciously as i testified earlier he became interested in school and studies but attitude towards Tamil did not change. Making him read two lines everyday and dictation words and other techniques did not work with him as he did not give his heart for it..But I kept praying abt this and kept taking little efforts whenever possible..

*I have to read out lessons for him and explain meaning

*Qp also he doesn't know to read properly and he wrote different answers..

Two days back he took out the Tamil book (5th STD) and read the whole lesson all by himself (3pages) with minimum mistakes. All glory to God alone..If any of u are struggling in any area with ur child..our prayers and small efforts God will honor..

Miracle baby

Short testimony:Priscilla celebrated her 6th birthday on July 21(sorry for the day in writing this).I was reminded about how I concieved her and was pressed in my spirit to write the goodness of God.In 2016, I conceived and had slight bleeding in the first few.weeks and was told I had a clot and I have to be on complete bed rest and we need to wait to know if this baby will grow well.I was feeling very low.

On top of i was facing lot of misunderstanding and strife in my marriage.i Felt lonely, unloved and depressed(couldn't even share things with my non believer parents and siblings) and had intense suicidal thoughts twice during the pregnancy.But our Living Lord graciously sent His word in the Sunday messages and thru our fshp friends and comforted me.When it was fifth month,still doctors did not assure if the baby was fine and they said there could be some growth impacts.My husband was also very upset and he said let's not procede with this pregnancy as it will become fatal for my health if the pregnancy is terminated at a later stage.

But I kept trusting the Lord and by 7th month scan the clot disappeared but still doctors have no assurance on full baby growth.Even during C-section there was difficulty in taking her out and I saw the doctors little tensed snd talking among themselves and out of fear I started praying out loud in the theatre saying..Lord please protect my child...

She is a miracle baby born Hale and healthy amidst all the difficulties we went thru...Even thenon believer doctor later confessed it was only God's hand...Hallelujah..

Thanking God for His goodness for giving us Priscilla who shows so much of love to me and even if my husband raises his voice against me,she will be right there to defend me and the whole situation. Will cool down..I see Gods love and comfort thru her....All glory to God.. Remember her in ur prayers..

Word of God, heals

 Praise the Lord! I had the same difficulty with my daughter and I made her to recite very small memory verses and repeat the prayer I do for her in the morning n at night.... She used to tell very few words Jesus, amma, appa and akka., That's all.... Many advised us to take her to speech therapy but I stood firm with God, that He was the one who gave this child and He will take care of her... And as a consecration I stopped all the videos she used to see and made her to hear only Christian songs, and spent time with her chatting while playing.... God done a miracle and by 5 yrs she sang songs and spoke normally all words and she became a testimony to GOD.. All glory to Jesus. ❤️

The name above all names

 I have a testimony to share, the reason for requesting the Bible verses.

My son was having challenge speaking though he is 4 now, the fluency of conversation is minimal...every night when I put him to sleep, I used to keep talking to him and sing songs, recite few verses and keep literally torturing to open his mouth and say Jesus almost till this yr beginning. The moment I say I say Jesus or any verse he will go quiet...spiritually it was upsetting at times, but I started praying over this for fervently...we started taking him to Sunday school and he started looking at how we teach memory verses and slowly started repeating. For 2,3 nights and early morning he will suddenly wake up and start saying, Jesus, Jesus, Bible, Bible...that's all... that touched me and I was very joyful. Since then he recites with me few memory verses and prays as I teach and tries to sing songs by himself. Praise God for helping us overcome this barrier and start speaking well.

Cake craving

My testimony could sound a lil silly, but still, I thought I'll just share..

It was about 2 weeks after our marriage(2020), I suddenly got a craving to eat black forest cake. (We were in my in-law's place, a village, where we have to tavell atleast 30 mins to get to a cake shop and that too, not a good shop) I wanted to tell my hubby about my craving, but I thought it might burden him. And just in my heart I thought "Pappa (Heavenly Father), I'd really like to have some nice cake.." and I did not think about it again. Within 1 hour, we got invited to a lil girl's birthday party, where I got to eat amazing black forest cake! It tasted the best!

Since then, everytime I miss mom's home, everytime I need something but it gets delayed, everytime I get ready to pick a fight coz I don't get to go outing, I remember, the Pappa, who provided the cake for just a sigh of my heart is still listening and watching over. *He will provide everything beautifully in its time*

God's strength,guidance and favor!

Just before my first ML began, I was promoted as PM against my wish. I always felt good to be a TL. After my ML and I resumed duty, I was given new opportunities and one was very hectic with severe escalations and critical deadlines. I was aligned to this project which was supposed to get over by 6 weeks. Every single day was like hell to me in that project as everyone was junior except a TA. The only TL who knew the landscape was not committed at all. He always went on long leaves without notice. I had to play multiple roles right from developer to Manager, and needed to be on every single call with the clients irrespective of the time zone. Most nights I was available for troubleshooting along with the client post early morning, I had my almost 1 year old waiting for me to hold her. Inspite of all the challenges we were able to win the customer’s trust and was able to deliver things in about 6 months and within 1.25 year post my ML I was progressed to Senior Project Manager with lots of appreciations from

Infy and the clients. The team was looking up to me for technical suggestions too and I felt really good. Everyone said probably I was one of the very few managers who got their next role in such a short span of time. 

Now around last March I was pregnant with my second one and was running 5+ accounts with different time zones from Canada to Australia and I didn’t have time for anything even for food. On top of all this I was crushed by never ending proposals with few new European clients. There were many days I wanted to quit as I was not able to focus on this second pregnancy at all. But God took care of the foetus and kept providing her with everything she needed. Checkups were normal except during last trimester scan which showed a cord around the baby’s neck and baby was also in breech position. I was scared so much whenever I thought about the delivery. That was when an Aunty called me and told me, “Israelites, when they were asked to cross the Red Sea were scared too, but the water didn’t destroy them instead they made way for Israelites. The ones who had faith and belief would have walked without fear. The ones who didn’t, would have continued their walk fearfully until they crossed at each foot step. So you are going to cross this delivery no matter what, but whether you walk in faith or in fear is upto you. You decide what you wanna do.” This really spoke to me and the Lord helped me with broken waters only after I finished my prayers in the labor ward. With 4-5 pushes my daughter came out. 

I always thought no matter how much I work I would be rated with ‘Met Expectations’ as I was carrying during this cycle. However I wished to complete everything that landed on my plate with utmost sincerity and even when my labor started I was able to share feedback on my team members to the new managers I handed my accounts to. In fact I was available for them anytime at least until 2 months from the beginning of my ML as they are pretty new to my accounts. 

God only gave me strength to do every single work.  Even now I receive my team members’ calls and messages and I could see them actively bonding with me, not to mention we haven’t met even once in person. I could win their trust though they are all split across multiple locations. He made all these possible! 

There was a time when I had to sign off the rating my manager gave me. I 100% expected ‘ME’ but to my surprise I was rated Outstanding. God’s Grace only keeps me going. At the right time I have seen God deploying me into critical high visible assignments, and showering me with extra mercies and favor in the eyes of humans. He always have elevated me at the right time, not too early and not too late. 

With Janice’s and Jamie’s ever growing demands, I am going to start my next stint by mid of May. I am scared of what my next assignment would be, but I believe as usual He will place me in places where I am supposed to grow and where He will be with me, helping me balancing things. 

All glory to God and God alone.

This is to share with ladies like me who might fear that their career might take steps down after they bear a child. It is not true! With God it can step up too. 😀

It's He who promotes us!

Testimony

1. Post my ML leave got into one project which didn’t bring out the best in me. There was a down and I was released. Started reskilling myself and waited on the Lord. On the due time, God put me in a new project on the same technology I reskilled. God guided me thru that 6 month project and helped me to lead a team for the first time. God rewarded me with 2 awards in this project out of which one is on unit level Rise award. 

2. After this project, I was interviewed for a new project which I failed. Still I knew that God is leading me in the right path. I joined a new project in which the technical skill is completely different from what I reskilled. Asked God to lead me as He always does. I was expecting my promotion for quite sometime and was worried that it was not happening. But anyways kept in prayers and somehow didn’t feel like talking to my manager about it. Kept my trust on God that He will do everything at the right time. God was so wonderful he gave my promotion and 2 more awards here as well out of which one is  Infy level AFE award. When I received the mail that I was shortlisted for AFE, I was thinking what have I done and how am I worthy of this. The only answer I got is I am not worthy and it’s all Gods pure grace.  

3. I started my career in Infy and I’m 8+ years exp. my package was comparatively lower than what was offered outside. I prayed to God and didn’t want to change Job just for salary. God nudged me to speak to my manager through my hubby. He provided Grace in the sight of man and my manager took care of everything and offered me 29% hike.

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” (1 Peter 5:6, NIV).

Hi sisters, thgt of writing my testimony which was due so that you will get encouraged in the Lord to wait upon Him

God eases delivery

God's immense blessings has been upon us right from day 1 of our marriage. I got married in the month of June and also conceived the very same month. By God's immense grace I didn't have morning sickness. During the 12th week NT sacn I was said that the placenta is in fundal position . But later in the 20th week scan was said the placenta is actually low lying so no activity should be done. Was tensed a bit. Then later on the 28th week scan was told the placenta had relatively gone up as the uterus is also growing but the next problem came. I was told that the fluid level is low. The very nxt week a confirmatory scan was taken to check the fluid level. And by God's grace the level was good. 

As weeks progressed and was nearing due I was a little nervous as it was my first pregnancy. On the 15th of March by morning I had bloody show and contractions started. I was at home and doing chapalankal sitting, walking. By 2  pm went to hospital.  Nurses there checked my contractions and said I might deliver the next day only.. by the time the nurse said this, my contractions were getting intense. Another nurse came and timed the contractions and was ran immediately to the doc to report. Immediately doc came and checked for dilation. To very ones suprise there at labour ward she said "no time to wait she is about to push and deliver the baby, immediate ah transfer pannunga to deliver suite". So there was no time for prep too,was in the bootle neck moment. 

After 2 pushes our baby girl arrived by eve 3 55 pm.

All this process took place with 20 mins. There was no medical intervention to progress labour. All these were a great blessing. 

I had a huge blood loss.Doc was a bit perplexed on why because all were going on smooth. She also informed if the blood drain is going to be this huge tomorrow should do a  procedure in OT to check it. By God's pure grace the bleeding became normal the very night itself. Usually there in that hospital she used to discharge the patients only after 72hr from delivery(Normal delivery). She checked for the stitches healing and said that I could be discharged by 48hrs itself. 

The entire journey was so blessed and He shielded at each and every moment.  Glory be to Him.

Joining the dots

Testimony time:

Testimony 1:

Last week in the way back to Chennai from Trichy in the highway, one of the car tyre bursted and back portion bumper broke literally. Even with so much damage, my hubby could slow down, check and then drive slowly to find a God sent Angel within 100m at night nearly 10:30 pm. A boy just came and changed the backup tyre and car started running. My 2 kids were there in the car.

It could have turned into a major accident. But God graciously saved all of their lives and without much struggle in the midnight He sent divine help so that they could reach home safely amidst all this. So much so grateful for all His mercies and for all of your prayers in this group. No words to express His love upon us! 

Testimony 2: 

From the time I met Cardio in Trichy for my father , I have been praying for God's guidance. Amazingly i have recieved so much pointers from this group. To testify in particular, a friend couple of Vidhya Alwyn in this group spoke to me from Oman, who had experience with same problem as my dad's case. It's so amazing to see how God connects the dots to connect His children. They spoke with so much love and care and testified how they witnessed the hand of God and shared this verse to encourage me. Praising God for His amazing love and guidance. 

Psalm 107: 19Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

He sent out his word and healed them,

and delivered them from their destruction.

Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

Rescued from addiction, Transformed by grace

The moment I read one news I felt why I didn’t write this testimony so long. I’m a mom of two and went through a very tough situation exactly three years back. I cannot thank God for the mercy he has shown to our family and am alive now. 3yrs back, my 6 month old was very sick and getting better with treatments. 

My husband found Casino as his relaxing point from home. What started as fun for him turned out to be a tragedy for the family. I didn’t know he was frequently going to Casino after work and didn’t answer my calls after work. In 2 months time, it was a regular thing and never answered the calls even if it was 50-100 times. My in laws came to stay for few months and came to know about it but he wouldn’t listen to them as well. They went back and it still continued even worse. 

This went for days and days and I just sat crying day and night some days without cooking and showing my anger to the kids. With kids at home, and no one to take care of them, I couldn’t go and get him back from the casino if he didn’t return from work. I begged, cried, screamed, shouted and blackmailed. Nothing worked. In fact, it went worse once when I fought and he called up 911 and said I was threatening to kill the kids. The cops showed up and they said they couldn’t do anything about him going to casino as it was his personal choice and asked me to go my friends place. This was the day before Christmas and I drove to the airport without knowing where to go. Sat in the airport for 4 hrs with my little one crying for milk and I didn’t have anything to give. Then a guy approached me in the airport and I felt unsafe and drove back to home at 4 am to see my husband sleeping like nothing had happened. 

Our accounts were wiped out and all credit cards maxed out and even loaned money from his siblings and friends asking for some other reason. I couldn’t handle at this point and went to India and told my family that I was getting a divorce. I was scared if he would commit suicide when were gone too and used to call his friends and check if he came to work. There were days when he didn’t show up to work and his friends checked for him at home. My family told to give him a last chance for another month hoping he must have realized when we weren’t here with him. But when we came back, nothing had changed, the house was left in the same condition when I’d left to the point that I had to clean and vacuum to even let my kids on the floor to play.

  When I was almost at the verge of giving up, first wave of covid started and all casinos were locked. I felt all my PRAYERS were answered when all the casinos were closed not only for my family but for all the families affected just like me. Covid was truly a blessing for me. We even got covid during the second week of March and recovered at home. God changed my husbands mind and made him realize what he has been doing. We reconciled and got together in true trust and love and started working together to repay the debts forgetting the bitter past between us. 

I cannot thank God for all the goodness he has done in my life and this is the greatest of all! We as a family are still alive by HIS mighty grace! 

 The Lord is our only strong hold at all times. He has the right plan for you. If you are going through any tough situations this minute, just hang in there, the end may be so closer than you think.
