In June of 2006, I found out that the baby I was carrying didn’t have any kidneys (a condition called Potter’s Syndrome) and would not survive more than a few hours after birth. I had two choices, terminate or carry to term. Termination was out of the question. I couldn’t end this pregnancy just to make things easier on me. For whatever reason, the Lord had given me this child and I had to let Him carry out His plan in His own time. I carried Gabriel under by heart for the next four months. Each day I would feel him wiggle around inside and I would be filled with a bittersweet happiness. My baby was alive inside of me and would remain so until the Lord called him home. During this time, I was constantly amazed and the peace and calm I had about the situation. I know that the source of it came from the Lord, He carried me through this whole time. People called me crazy for carrying Gabriel to term. I was called cruel and hurtful things, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was doing the Lord’s will. On September 12, 2006, Gabriel was born into the arms of the Lord. He never took a single breath outside the womb. I will never see this precious boy grow into manhood. But I do know that someday I will see him again and will hold him again. Do I understand what the Lord’s plan was in this? No, I don’t, but I have faith that He will use it for His Glory and that’s all I need.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ~ Hebrews 11:1
