Another Day

  • CJ
  • Hott Views

cjYesterday, was my baby’s birthday. The birthday where he turned 16. All I could do as I sat there was to think about how precious he is.

I was so very scared when I found out I was pregnant. I was living alone my boyfriend had just broken up with me. I was devastated.

I just knew I couldn’t do it by myself. So, when the dad suggested an abortion I seriously considered it. Yes, it would make the “problem” go away but could I look at myself in the mirror afterwards. I felt shame for even considering abortion.

I decided – not because I was positive it was right but because I knew I couldn’t face the alternative – to keep what I knew was a life inside of me. I know today that even though we are punished for our wrongs that God gives us the opportunity to make them right and has rewarded me for that choice.

As I look at him today all I can do is to thank God that he helped me to make the right decision and giving us another day together!

    Wow Gina, thanks for sharing that! I had no idea.
    I too was a single mother, leaving my husband only two weeks after the birth of my daughter.
    I know that it was only from the help of God that I made it on my own.
    I think that is why my daughter and I are so close today!

      Oh, Wendy! How difficult that must have been!
      It’s so funny. I was thinking the other day how before Stan started working for FCA that I could never talk about the things I’ve regretted but now I can. It’s so wonderful to realize looking back how I was blessed even though what I did was wrong. I’m so happy we have such a wonderful & loving maker!
      I agree. I think that many times that we’re much closer to the ones we struggle with/for.

      Thanks Juju, you’re a good friend. It’s so funny how our actions and the actions of those around us can shape our personality. I’m just very happy the God has given me peace about my decisions and compassion for those in the same situation.

My Life Verse

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (John 8:7 (KJV))
