With Life There is Hope

I was following up on a girl I had spoken with about a month ago and thank God she was doing excellently! She has moved back to New Jersey and is receiving prenatal care, and she was also in great spirits when I talked with her. This is in great contrast to when we originally spoke and she was crying, holding a fetal model of a 16 week baby, which is how far along she was.

I met her when she was very fragile, but over our phone conversation I could sense an entirely different person - one full of confidence and life. Her relationship with her boyfriend was even much better than it was before.


In the choice for life, very few times does everything work out perfectly the way it has for this young lady in terms of relationships and material welfare. But we are assured that when we make decisions that we are right and in line with our own conscience - those are choices we can live with joyfully, even if it makes life more difficult. We can not promise that everything will be easy for the mother, but we can promise that if she does what God wants (and most often they know what God wants), He'll take care of her.
