God-given

After ten years of unsuccessful attempts to give birth to a child, we could only hope for a miracle. And a miracle happened ...

The last resort

I was already 33 years old, ten of them were a happy marriage, marred by only one - the lack of children. Actually, by this age I planned to be a mother more than once, but we did not succeed.

Through what only have not passed with the husband for these years: regular inspections, analyzes. They even survived an unsuccessful attempt at IVF three years ago, when none of the two embryos planted in my body survived. But none of the specialists could not name the reason for our problem: my spouse and I were absolutely healthy on the results of all the examinations. After a failed ECO, a doctor known in our Novosibirsk specializing in the treatment of infertility, just spread his hands and advised the last resort - to pray.

Neither I nor my husband have ever been particularly religious people. But then these, born of powerlessness before the nature of the words of the doctor respected in the city, became for us a guide to action. Every weekend we began to go to the church and ask the Blessed Virgin Mary for at least one - the successful completion of the next IVF procedure, for a free quota for which for more than a year waited their turn.

Once, on a regular visit to the Znamensky Church, a parishioner approached me. It turned out that she saw us here for the first time and somehow, in an unknown way, she knew that we were asking the Mother of God. The woman told the story of her daughter, who begged for the long-awaited pregnancy from St. Matrona in the Intercession Monastery of the capital. After the trip there and the worship of the relics, her daughter became a mother three times already.

At a glance at each other, my husband and I realized: we must go! Immediately! The same day they bought tickets for the train to Moscow, and a week later went to Matronushka.

The Saints

Our spontaneous pilgrimage began with great trouble. Almost immediately after leaving the train it turned out that we had stolen a bank card. There was not enough cash in your wallet even for a day at the hotel. "No, miracles do not happen! Why did we start all this ?! "I sobbed then on my husband's shoulder. Trying to reassure me, he was completely at a loss. There was nobody to borrow money. The spouse remembered that he made out somehow a quick loan. But then he had a card, the opportunity to get a loan without a card was not real. In general, the situation - do not envy.

Tickets for the return trip we bought in advance, but somewhere we had to spend 5 days and nights and not die at the same time from hunger. It was a frosty December morning, and we had no choice but to go to Pokrovsky monastery, for which we spent almost three days on the road, and in the evening - to return to the station for the night. But it was in the monastery that the incredible happened to us.

Almost 4 hours had to be defended in the icy wind in the queue of those eager to touch the relics of Saint Matrona. Hundreds of people also stood patiently in the cold, each with a prayer for their miracle. And from all this many-sided, but surprisingly quiet crowd, it was she who was close - Saint Natalia, so I call our savior. The woman standing before us immediately drew attention to my glowing eyes. Having heard about the incident, she - a completely strange person from the Moscow suburbs - suggested ... stop at her.

Fast loan for long happiness

And now, pressing to the relics, praying, asking for help and leaving a note at the icon of St. Matronushka, we went to Natalia, in her hospitable Khrushchev, where the woman lived with her son-student. Over dinner, again proposed to us completely unselfishly, the guy told about the opportunity to receive a cash loan without a card. We doubted, knowing that we were not in our city. But the hostess's son explained that absolutely everyone can take microloans without checks in Moscow. He also helped to find a suitable offer on the Internet. Online service "Robot Seymour" gave a chance directly on the site to request a quick loan and get it at any of the points of the "Contact" system, which in Moscow abound. The microloan was issued immediately and it seemed that the mountain fell off his shoulders. Within 3 hours we held our money - a very real loan without a card and without checks in Moscow - a foreign city for us.

The next day we bought food and gifts for our rescuers. However, here in any hotel Natalia us already did not release, though the microloan quite allowed to remove an inexpensive number. But she's the Holy One! In the Intercession Monastery we went all the subsequent days of our stay in Moscow, again and again defending a long queue.

... Thanks to the kind people met on the road, the belief in the miracle, the inexplicable power of the Holy Matron and the opportunity to receive microloans without checks in Moscow in a difficult moment, after 10 years of hope and despair, we became happy parents. I became pregnant almost immediately after the trip, just under the New, 2015 year. A couple of meters from me, in a baby bed, a three-month-old Bogdan - our God-given child is drinking.
