My mind didn’t stop after the baby was born. True, everything seemed golden and wonderful and that moment… that moment when I saw Joshua was coming… I’m quite speechless, actually. His first minute on this earth, his first breath, his first gaze at his mamma, his life. Fresh and new and perfect. I wish my mind would have stopped there but it didn’t.
Today I saw more than a baby be born. I saw into the reality of a 15 year old girl. I held her hand and propped her up when she couldn’t do it alone. I locked eyes with her scared face and saw something equally as beautiful as her precious little one. I saw Jesus. I felt his love for her as I stood there wishing so badly to do anything to help take her pain away.
Who is Joshua going to be?
How long will his innocence be kept sacred?
Will he know the Lord?
Will his Mum know how to raise him?
Will she still love him even though someday he won’t seem as precious as a newborn baby?
Will Joshua ever be able to call a man father?
There is so much more to this than I thought. I was just coming to simply deliver babies right?
