dsboy19 said:Wow sweetie, my heart breaks for you. The important thing is to know that you made a mistake, and if you asked, you are forgiven by God. One lesson from the Bible we learn is that we reap what we sow. I am pleased to hear that you are not having an abortion, and this child will be a blessing in due time. We all love you and are praying for you. Learn from this and live for Jesus the rest of your days!

afraid said:Wow thanks everyone! I told them this morning and luckily I had asked my boyfriend to stay home until they calm down. It was pretty emotional. My dad freaked as I expected. He left. He's been gone for 5 hours. But he does that whenever he's upset. Thank God that I have always been close to my Mum. She's my best friend and she's supporting me 100%. I called my boyfriend and told him how everything is going. Now I'm just waiting for my dad to get back so we can all sit down together. And I assure all of you that I will NOT get an abortion. It's such a horrible thing to do. I do not believe in it at all. I think it's cruel. And We're thinking about keeping the baby, but we're not sure yet. Cos We're so young. I don't know. We'll see. I'm very scared about this. I'm so young. So is my boyfriend. But we're giving it all to God so we'll see how it works out. Thank you all so so much for your support. You don't know how appreciative I am. I'll keep you posted.

Mimi, I will pray for you and your family every night. I know you have a tough decision ahead of you ( whether to keep the baby or put it up for adoption) but just keep praying about it and God will reveal HIS will for you and the baby. Being the mom of an adopted daughter, I feel this is a very mature option and I am very proud of you for even considering it. Continue to listen to God - He will never leave you and never let you down. You have MANY people praying with you and there is power in prayer!
Take care Sweetheart & remember - you have already been forgiven.
afraid said:I know you are right. We shouldn't have done anything. Some people think that people my age and my boyfriends' age can't be in love but they're wrong. And our relationship is all for God. But....we just got caught up in being in love and everything. We feel forgiven and that's important to feel content with it. We're both very mature for our ages and our relationship is strong. We have the money in our families and ourselves to support the baby. My dad came home. I talked to him alone. He's still very upset but that's no surprise. He agreed to talk to my boyfriend tomorrow and not to beat him up. There was some laughter there so that's a good thing. He just can't believe I [his baby] am not a virgin and I'm gonna have a baby. It's pretty crazy. But thank you all for your support. My boyfriend read everything and he said thank you as well. :]
I'm still so scared though. I'm so young and...my childhood is over. Also, I've heard about post-pardom depression. Please pray against that. And that the baby is healthy. Thanks again. I'll keep you updated.

P.S. Thank you JacobsDream for bringing up the "protection" issue... Abstinence should always be used until marriage... TRUE LOVE WAITS!!
