Expecting


After months of trying, my wonderful husband and I are expecting our first child. Our Gift From God is due to arrive in July. It is funny, though, with this week being the 37th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision, how differently I am affected by the thought of abortion. I feel like my first and only obligation is to keep my baby safe. Hubby and I tried for many months to achieve this pregnancy. It is truly by God's grace that we were able to conceive and that baby and I are both healthy so far. I hope women everywhere can understand what a gift, joy, and responsibility it is to become pregnant... and I pray every day that mothers can see their child as a gift instead of an inconvenience. Praise God for this beautiful gift.
