“That’s not going to happen,” Danita thought. “I refuse to receive it.”
“Don’t worry,” Danita said choosing her words with care, “it’ll be gone by the time I have the baby.”
The doctor blinked in surprise at her confusion. “No, ma’am,” she said, “these tumors don’t shrink during pregnancy—they grow.”
Back home, Danita and Aaron spoke to the fibroid, commanding it to shrivel and die like the fig tree Jesus cursed.
The End Game
By now, Danita’s pregnancy was marked high risk due to her age, placenta previa and a fibroid tumor. Because the placenta and fibroid were located near the cervix, the doctors monitored her progress using a fetal heart monitor rather than doing physical exams.
Months passed without incident. Finally, at 35 weeks, the doctor decided to do a physical exam. Frowning, she felt the baby’s head. Then she felt it again.
“That’s odd,” she said. “I don’t feel any fibroid.”
Danita and Aaron locked eyes and grinned. Exactly as they had believed and confessed, the fibroid tumor hadn’t grown during her pregnancy as predicted.
It had disappeared.
“Thank You, Lord!” Danita praised. “Now I release my faith and believe I receive a delivery that will be a testimony to the staff. I’m 37 years old, and I want to show them that this isn’t a high-risk pregnancy.”
March 5, 2011, at 5:45 a.m., Danita’s labor began in earnest. In the car on the way to the hospital, she sent a text to family and friends.
“On way to hospital!”
“Praying for a fast delivery!” came a reply.
“Not too fast! We have 45-minute drive!”
March Madness
“How are you doing?” the doctor asked Danita at the hospital.
“I’m doing well.”
“Do you want an epidural?”
“No, I don’t think so. Why don’t you check my progress and see how long you think it’ll be?”
The doctor examined Danita and said, “Oh my! It’s too late for an epidural! You’re fully dilated! Let’s deliver this baby!”
A short while later, Aaron Michael Brooks II was placed in his mother’s waiting arms. His tiny fingers wrapped around hers and he seemed to know he was home.
Today, at 2½, Aaron Michael likes watching Mickey Mouse and Sid the Science Kid on his mom’s iPad, which he operates with some degree of skill. Born during March Madness, it’s no surprise that his favorite pastime is snuggling up with his dad and watching basketball.
“November 2012, was the fourth year I’ve attended the WDC Victory Campaign,” Danita recalls. “In addition to teaching us how to be bold in our faith, I received another revelation from God that shook my world. It happened when Brother Copeland told us to repeat these words: ‘God loves me as much as He loves Jesus. There’s nothing He won’t do for me.’
“Having a son of my own has helped me understand the depths of God’s love for us. I would do anything for my son. Now I get it…God would do anything for us. The only thing that limits Him is our faith.” V
