Testimony 29

My friend Jimmy had been yearning for a child for a few years, and he asked me to pray for him. So on one Sunday afternoon, I went to Immaculate Heart of Mary Church adoration room to pray. I kneeled and bent before the Lord and asked Him whether there was anything to tell me about Jimmy’s kid. At first, nothing happened; I didn’t feel or see anything. Again I bowed before the Lord and pleaded with Him to tell me something. This time I saw a woman with long black hair.

The background had the yellow tint of a vintage photo. She was strolling in a garden, admiring at the plants, looking carefree, totally enjoying the surrounding. There was a baby pram near her and I couldn’t see whether there was any infant in it. I was wondering at the meaning of this vision when a voice inside me whispered that she didn’t want a baby. I had goosebumps all over my arms and a tingling sensation travelled from my body to my head. It was an affirmation Jimmy’s wife didn’t need a baby. She wanted to be carefree just like the woman in the imagery. I was puzzled. If she preferred not to have any baby, why did Jimmy ask me to pray? So I checked with him and indeed in the past his wife didn’t long for a baby. The couple was not ready to start a family.
