i've made a lot of mistakes in my life.
well, maybe not a lot,
but plenty enough.
however, becoming pregnant before i was legally married was not one of them.
call it a detour, change in plans, bump in the road, anything
just never call it a mistake. never call it an accident.
i had sex on purpose! because i was crazy in love with someone and it didn't matter to me that we didn't have a piece of paper issued by the government.
technicality.
I knew as soon as i was pregnant, but i delayed getting married because i didn't want to cover up something that i was so happy about.
i wasn't ashamed or scared. i was happy!!!! And i never once felt that it was something to hide or to confess, or to atone for.
i guess that's all i want to say.
i was going to go on about people judging (gee that comes up a lot)
and how the judgers better keep that closet full of skeletons locked up tight.
all those good christian woman who ran around wild in their younger days will stand around and gossip
instead of showing love and encouragement.
all worried about what others will think. tsk, tsk.
***i wrote this as an encouragement. and as a testimony.
btw we've been married almost 31 years & our son will be 31 in november!
I am so glad that MOST(?) of us have gotten over the tsk-tsk about when the first baby arrives. Here in the Ozarks the saying goes..."The first baby can arrive anytime. The next one usually takes 9 months" Encouragement.....that is what we need...not a bunch of "holier-than-thou" mouths yapping. Nuff said. :-)
