Teenage Pregnancy

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." ~ Jeremiah 1:5

As I reflect on this verse, I remember how deeply it touched my soul when at 19 I found myself pregnant with my second child. I felt lost and alone. I did not want to marry the father of my two children because he was very abusive. Little did I know that God was preparing my heart and life to save me.

My mother had become a Christian when I was 18 and she had read this verse to me. I always believed in God, but did not know how to have a relationship with Him.

I began going to church and enrolled in a Bible College. A few years later I found myself alone raising two children, but with such joy and peace that only God can bring to a life.

As our Almighty Omniscient God knew the plans He had for Jeremiah, He also knows the plans He has with our lives.

Whatever your struggle today, put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. No matter how dark your life looks today, I believe, like me, you will be able to turn around one day and say "Thank you Lord for helping me through this crisis."

God bless you!
