Pregnant!

Posted by N/A on May 15 2009 6:54PM

I just found out that i am 5 months pregnant! I'm not sure how to feel or what to think, I just dont know why the Lord gives some people babies, and others don't, and why I was given one at 18...I feel like I will never be forgiven for doing this, and I continue to cry everyday, because being Adventist this type of action is highly forbidden...Help

Being pregnant now is not the best thing but it isnt the end of the world. As long as you ask for forgiveness, Jesus is ready and waiting to grant it to you. You need to be strong, stay close to God, especially if you do not have a support system such as your family members. God will make a way, he saw this day and he wont give you more than you can bear. Stay healthy, eat right and have a positive outlook on life so your baby can be healthy. And most importantly, after this 'fall', get up, brush off and move on with your life in faith. God loves you.

Its okie hunnie. "If anyone of you has suffered pain, the judgement inflicted on him by the majority is enough" - [not verbatim. somewhere in the bbible] You have your church for support and you have us. How did you JUST find out at 5 mths tho? ...Doesn't your stomach grow? Msg me on theFlow. What's the situation with the father?

Hey I have a relative who was in the same situation and she has been forgiven by God and her church and family. We all enjoy the addition of a new member to our family and the church family. By God's grace you too can have forgiveness and acceptance from Him and your family and church family.

Even though you are pregnant, God will forgive you if you ask for him to. Remember that God doesn't ever make mistakes..

God forgave you 5 months ago when you probably asked for forgiveness after having sex. Watch out fore depression, the Devil will use that to try make you go back to lust as a relief again!! You are LOVED and FORGIVEN by God the Father. People may try to make it seam like you are an outcast,like its a sin to have a baby [the sin was the lust not the pregnancy], and some churches may try to shun you, or even disfellowship you! They are WRONG and acting AGAINST God's will. But Christ has made it clear how much he loves us and is willing to forgive us read Proverbs 21:16. I struggle with lust and I know a LOT more people that do also. "all have sinned...." and all sins weigh the same. Stay close to Christian believers who truly seek God's will. Your life is NOT over, you can raise a wonderful gift from God. Yes it is going to be extremely difficult, but our God specializes in the extreme. Please pray for me as I pray for you.

People make mistakes. You made one. What you learn from your mistake is also important. Please note that you will need a strong support network to get through this difficult time. Now is the time to ask for help. Now, this may sound really, REALLY insensitive, but it must be said. God doesn't usually randomly "give" people babies. Sex often leads to pregnancy and children. From a public health perspective, sex without a condom is NOT a good idea, since it may not only lead to children, but STIs (yes, including syphilis, AIDS, gonorrhea, etc, etc). From an SDA perspective, sex before marriage is not a good idea. Please think about these issues before someone pressures you for sex again.

Hi, I know you might be feeling scared and alone, but the first thing you need to do is stop and pray. Pray for forgiveness and then guidance and then you are done with it. There is no need to revisit the past, if you sincerely ask for forgiveness he will grant it. Next pray for strength and I will be praying for you. Maybe a year ago I would not have understood where you are coming from, but I know how hard it is trust me. I wish I could give you more advice, but I know in my heart of hearts that God will give wisdom to do the right thing. Be strong for yourself and the baby. I will continue to pray for you.
