"How'd you get your baby?"

It finally happened. Working with a bunch of kids at Rockbrook I knew the question would come up sometime. After all, it's not every day you see a pregnant teenager...I was kind of afraid of the question to be honest. I could always pull the tipical,"Ask your parents" or " You'll find out when you're older" but kids really hate to hear that.
Anyways, Aria and I were playing Mancala. She started asking questions about when I was going to have my baby, if I eat good food for the baby and then the inevitable. "How'd you get your baby?" she asked. I slightly paused then responded, "God gave it to me."
It satisfied her curious mind and we moved on to more conversation. The reality of what I said didn't hit me until I got home. See it's the truth, God gave me this baby. It wasn't an accident. It's a gift. God gave it to me.
