Our Testimony

Here is our testimony that I wrote before our babies were born, it still holds true - Wonderful, isn't it?


We have been looking forward to this day, to dedicate our children to God. These children are very precious to us, given to us by God. It’s always been our desire to have children and we thought we were ready 3 years ago but God knew the right time this would happen, because he was preparing us for not one but two children. We knew it is a part of our blessing to have children but the waiting period for when this would happen was the hardest part. But now we really thank God for that period because He knew exactly what we needed, we’ve grown spiritually, in our marriage, in ourselves, in our purpose, and building a really solid foundation.  


During the past few years, we got lots of bad reports, our doctor’s diagnosis was infertility (when they say you can’t have children for one reason or the other) but I could almost laugh in his face because we knew better than that, we did what we knew to do, we prayed, got our confessions out, and trusted in God through every step, and we know a lot of you prayed with us. I want to thank everyone that supported us in one way or the other, through your prayers, encouragement, your love in every way. The pregnancy process itself is another great testimony because I was determined to enjoy every bit of it, even the not so exciting parts. Our children were birthed supernaturally to the glory of God. 


As an encouragement to anyone seeking God for anything be it children, a business, a partner, or whatever you are laboring through, I would say trust that God NEVER NEVER NEVER fails, there is always a way, have your confessions before your eyes, envision yourself (I envisioned myself as a mother all the time), share your challenges with the right people for support, to lift you up, and sow your seed (I’ve done my share of babyshowers, babysitting, cooking for pregnant women). God will give you that grace during the waiting period and in a matter of time, you will experience the harvest. Amen!

My Young Olive Trees

The olive tree was described as the "king of trees" and was considered to be the symbol of beauty, virility, prosperity and divine blessing. Wow, imagine that!

Psalm 128:3 says "...your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table."

I had to look up the picture of an olive tree to get some kind of visual, what does this tree really look like? The pictures I found below are beyond amazing, look at the trunk of that tree, so strong and I am sure it has very deep roots. In most of pictures, it looks like the olive tree does not grow very tall, but it sure does spread out wide, I like that! It's branches stretch out to reach beyond itself. And it's fruit, the olive, it's very good for the body, inside and out. I actually use olive oil to deep-condition my hair. Of course it's wonderful to cook with, and I know there are lots of other nutritional benefits.

The olive oil derived from the fruit is used in anointing and the leaves of the trees were used in ancient times to crown the victors of friendly games and wars, because of how it was held as a symbol of abundance, glory and peace. Old olive trees are very hardly, drought-, disease-, and fire resistant, so yes, they do stand the test of time.

  

Therefore, my children, my young olive trees are from God and they shall be a symbol of beauty, virility, prosperity and divine blessing! They will have a wonderful life as they grow up because they will be deeply rooted strong trees that spread out wide and bear fruit that will feed and bless others, and into their old age, they will remain sturdy and resistant against outside elements that are not of God.
