Wow, God is indeed a miracle working God! This is one big testimony…
After 15 fruitless years of trying for a baby, Claire Sanderson had all but
given up on her dream of becoming a mother.
Doctors had diagnosed her with unexplained infertility, and when her periods
stopped altogether she and husband Dean thought it was ‘the end of the road’.
So Claire, 33, was stunned two years later to learn that she was pregnant at
last – and that her much longed-for baby was due in a matter of weeks.
Claire decided to take a pregnancy test after
feeling an unexplained movement in her stomach last April. To the couple’s joy,
it was positive, and they were dumbfounded when doctors told them Claire was
already seven months along. wow!!!
