Judgment

I try really, really hard to not judge someone's situation.  But tonight, I was faced with being in a judgment position.  I am working retail right now to earn some extra cash for our future home, so I work with a bunch of young adults.  There is a young woman there, that on the first night I met her, she told me that she was pregnant.  I was excited for her and told her Congrats! I really don't get upset when other people are prego; it's not their fault that we have to go what we got thru.  But tonight, she told another co-worker that she has decided to have an abortion.  My heart stopped instantly and my hands started to shake.  This was my moment of judgment.  I don't know her situation; I don't know if she has support at home like I do; I just don't know.  But I instantly became angry.  There are so many families and couples that would love this little baby that she is going to just disregard; we are one of those couples.  How can people make that choice and be ok with it? I didn't say anything to her tonight.  I wasn't in the right place, and it really is none of my business, but it brings up so many questions.  Why would God allow this to happen? Because he gave all the gift of Choice and Accountability.  It will be her judgment day, not mine.  But that doesn't mean it still hurts.  So please, for me, please be grateful for a few minutes with the positive things in your life.  If you can get pregnant at the drop of a dime or if you are like us and you pay and pray for a baby; be grateful for what you get to experience and look at the positive side.  I know I will hold Weston a little bit tighter tonight knowing that I paid a lot of money, had crazy hormones and fought for his life at Primary Children.  Thank you to God for listening to us and guiding us thru this crazy battle.

  2. I wish she knew how precious her baby was no matter the circumstances. I wish she would consider adoption. You are amazing to share your insights Holly. Thank you for your courage. HM

  3. It's definitely a tough struggle, see it all the time in the ER, people who don't want their kids or pregnancy, pulls at the heartstrings... Especially when you want it so bad it hurts.
