For many women, it is their dream to start having babies almost immediately after marriage but when conception is delayed, they begin to worry and panic. No thanks to society, who reminds many women in waiting that time is not on their side.

For this business owner, Lawunmi, who shared her story on her Instagram page, it took 10 years, 7 months and 2 days of waiting to have her baby girl.

Read her testimony below..

When the lord turned again the captivity of Zion they were like them that dreamed.. #psalm126

It still feels like a dream to me when I look at my Ęriaanuoluwa Chizaram. I still ask myself if she is really mine! .

When I was packing my baby bag, my domestic staff called my attention to stains in most of the clothes. I told her they were not JUST stains but anointing oil stains. She then said, mummy, we will not wash them o! she will wear them like that.?

Only God can count how many altar calls I have answered. How many fruitfulness service I have attended at @tccvictoryland. I have a permanent box I put in my baby girl stuff(cos I prayed specifically for a baby girl) that I take to church when we are asked to bring baby things for prayers.

I don’t miss any fruitfulness service in church.
Year in, year out, I take the items, i come out “shamelessly” and gallantly to the altar. Bóbó ibo follows suit.. holding my hands. Together, we pray and Rev S.O Olubiyo will lay hands on the baby items and anoint them.
We did this every year since Bishop Tochi was 2 hence the stains on the clothes. I turned deaf ears to naysayers
I turned deaf ears to “this one still dey hope ni” gang in church … #naDemo!!?‍♀️

Today, my baby girl is wearing the clothes with the anointing oil “stains” on them.
Celebrate Jesus!  He hath done great things wherefore we are glad!!!????? This is the #TESTIMONY of God’s mercy (ĘriaanuOluwaleyi). God answered MY prayers (Chizaramepere) ??

#10years
#7months
#2days !!!
God is NEVER late.
Has he said it? Will he not do it?
.
What I did not stop doing??
I did not stop believing!!! I did not lose #hope. I just believed that at God’s own time, he will do it. He will make it happen. .

The other things I did?
I CELEBRATED wholeheartedly with others. My family members, my good friends, my not so good friends, even my “enemies” I celebrated with everyone. Anywhere a baby is born, you will find Lawumi there. I will be there no matter what niii. .
.
This post is solely about #gratitude
I’m grateful oh lord. I’m grateful for this opportunity.. I do not take any of this for granted .
