Merlin Martin's journey is one of faith, perseverance, and divine intervention. Hailing from Angamaly in the Ernakulam district, Merlin's devotion to Holy Mother Mary was unwavering, yet she found herself at odds with Kreupasanam Mother due to hearsay about the deity's authenticity. This led her to oppose the Kreupasanam Prayer conducted by her mother in their home.
Merlin was the eldest daughter in her family with three younger brothers. She was a responsible and concerned member in the family which was completely sunk in debts!
Despite having no background in aviation or hospitality, Merlin harbored a fervent dream of becoming a cabin crew member at Qatar Airways. Her aspirations led her to participate in a rigorous selection process in Calcutta, where 998 other competent and beautiful candidates vied for the coveted positions. In her own assessment, Merlin considered herself the least qualified candidate, citing her physic particularly her height. During the selection process, any scar on the candidates' bodies typically led to disqualification. However, Merlin boldly chose to reveal the scars on her knees, attributing them to her devout prayer life. Remarkably, even the selectors (who were also devout) overlooked this, recognizing the depth of her faith and conviction.
Against all odds, Merlin emerged triumphant, securing one of only eight positions offered. Her journey serves as a testament to the power of faith and determination. Merlin attributes her success not only to her unwavering belief in Lord Jesus and Holy Mother but also to the transformative power of prayer.
The blessings extended beyond her professional life, permeating into her household, which underwent a remarkable transformation. Previously fraught with challenges, including her father's struggle with alcohol addiction, Merlin's family found newfound peace, happiness, and prosperity.
Merlin's story is a reminder that obstacles can be overcome through faith and perseverance. Her journey from opposition to opportunity underscores the profound impact of steadfast belief in the face of adversity. As Merlin continues to navigate life's challenges, she does so with an unshakable faith in God, knowing that with Him, all things are possible.
