One day in January 2024, I woke up in the morning and felt pain in my neck. I could feel a small lump. As time passed, the lump grew bigger and bigger to turn into a bump, and the affected area became swollen. It was easily visible, so I turned up my collar or covered it with a scarf. ...

Three years ago, I had a miscarriage in which the placenta remained in me for a while. Once a pregnant woman experiences such a miscarriage, she has increased chance of future miscarriage or difficulty becoming pregnant. At that time, I was in a very difficult situation to have a baby. I was under physical and mental stress from my work place and I was experiencing back pain. So, I decided to commit everything to God. On November 28th 2008, I went to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee to receive prayer because I wanted to become pregnant. Senior Pastor said, "It is hard to conceive when either husband or wife has something physically wrong with the body." Since I had seen many couples in the church become pregnant by the power of God, I sincerely prayed that God would make my body proper to have a baby. For about 100 days following the prayer, I passed urine that looked like the milky-colored water left over from washing rice. I rejoiced with an assurance that God was changing my body. I tried to find things that were pleasing to God and quit my job to fulfill my God-given duty as a cell leader. My husband also supported me in my decisions. I shook hands with senior pastor with a faith that I would surely receive an answer and glorified God. I was as happy as a cloud floating in the air and waited for God's answer with confident expectations. One day in April I felt something strange in my body. I went to the hospital with a hopeful heart for checkup and knew that I had become pregnant. Hallelujah! We give thanks for the grace of God who gave me the blessing of pregnancy.
