Our Yes

January 22, 2021 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Pro-Life Leave a Comment

Here’s a story that we share openly to offer hope and witness to God’s abundant grace.

We were sixteen when I became pregnant (while attending a Catholic highschool, no less). I told no one until I was about 8 months along (doctors did not even suspect it at any of the multiple visits I had for a previous sport’s injury).

I was full of fear and shame for my poor choice. He showered His mercy upon me — bringing me out of despair and I was able to welcome a beautiful healthy girl into the world.

My parents and close loved ones also said YES to life by loving us and supporting us through it all.

My husband, then boyfriend, stood by me. We finished school, received college degrees, and ultimately opted to hang up our dreams to better fulfill our duties as mother & father.

Together, we have 8 children on earth, and six whom we pray are with Our Lord.

Know that your “yes” matters.

Know that with your “yes” to life comes abundant grace from the Divine Creator which can carry you through anything.

Know that you matter and are loved just as you are — return to Him and allow His love to wash over you & heal you.

Do not let the lies of the Evil one pervert you into thinking that you have a better way.

And, if you have been deceived, walked in darkness, or feel unworthy, spend not another hour/day in bondage but run to the Good Lord who desires to have you, His beloved child, in His embrace.

You may also message me directly if you are pregnant and need someone to walk you through it.
