Little Curve-Ball

Having just learned that my daughter is going to have a child, my whole world has been turned on its head. Often when she has gotten herself into trouble she says, "Mommy, I have to make all the same mistakes you made."

She has indeed gone in many of the foolish directions I did at her age, and come back from them, by the grace of God. But one mistake she is not making is that she would never consider having an abortion as I did, praise God. She is going to have her baby. She is going to marry Eddie and change her life to accommodate this new life growing within her. To me this feels like such a vindication for my error, such a victory for life and its Author, such a slap in the face for the enemy of Life. Thank you Father that I will have a chance to honor the life of this child.

While there is much to say about this, I say today, Glory to You, Father, that my family ties with the spirit of the unwanted child are severed in the precious name of Jesus.
