We were about to have our first child, and we had decided to do it at home. As the due date approached, we were beginning to feel a bit nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Zara came to our house and prayed with us, blessing the birthing process and our child. The time was powerful and anointed. We were flooded with peace and our anxiety receded. Dr.Zara led us to pray powerfully for our child–not just the birth, but her whole life. The whole time was a tremendous gift to our family. We have two adopted daughters (ages: 8 and 9). Dr. Zara spoke prophetically to them about their lives and current struggles. The older girl mentioned a day or two later that “that lady knew exactly what I was thinking.” My wife and I explained that she was being led by God’s spirit, and God knows each of our hearts. The girls felt both seen and loved by God as he used Dr. Zara to minister to them.
The midwives called the birth, which happened a few weeks later, a “butter birth,” that is, a birth when things go as smoothly as one could hope for. The birth was not without pain, but my wife has said multiple times that there was never a moment in the process when she didn’t think she would be able to do it. This was one of the big fears she was dealing with that led us to contact Dr. Zara in the first place. Our baby is about to turn one year old, and she is both happy and healthy. We are grateful for how Dr. Zara came around us at a moment when we needed support and a reminder of God’s commitment and heart for us. She hears God’s voice and obeys. We are grateful for her!
P.S- we are pregnant again!!
