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. 😀
