In 2017, I myself was given a choice...as I held in my hands a VERY unplanned positive pregnancy test. As a professional party girl, I was shaken to my core by the reality that I was pregnant. As much as I justified taking matters into my own hands and terminating the pregnancy..I could not ignore the voice of the Lord desiring my trust and obedience.
For those 9 months, God had my full and undivided attention. Prayer, worship and community kept me in good spirits. And as weeks, months and trimesters went by - I immersed myself in God’s word and presence more than ever before. I went through the pregnancy single and clinging to Jesus.
On September 24, 2017 I birthed my baby boy and placed him into the loving arms of his adoptive family.
Returning home without a baby was painful. But God met me there in the pain. He sat with me through my sadness. He reassured me that I made the RIGHT decision - one out of faith not out of fear. And that HE (the God of the universe) was proud of ME. I had HOPE.
