What a day yesterday....very challenging spiritually for me. To make the long story short, the girl that sits next to me is 18 and has a 6 month baby already. She still lives at home and has never worked a day in her life. I consider us "close" because the people I sit next too in class talk all day and hang out. Anyway, she now believes she is pregnant again although I am unsure if she has "officially" confirmed it with a pregnancy test. But is wanting to get an abortion. I was like WHOA when she said this and immediately started praying for her, for the baby, and for me to have the words and a listening spirit of what to say to her. From the little things that she has said, I gathered her to believe that she needed to get an abortion before it is too far along and becomes something....to me that meant, she believes the baby is not anything from the time it is conceived. Her mom wanted her to get an abortion with the first one, so she says she knows she will definitely want her to get one this time. Mom does not know yet about it.
So please pray for her and for me as well, that I be His light to her and especially to this baby or just pray that she is not pregnant (as horrible as that may sound.) But there are so many women who can not even get pregnant yet other girls go around like it is nothing and abort babies right and left. (Sorry for my soapbox there!)
I will keep you posted on this.

Wow! This is hard to hear. I pray she will make the right choice. It is good that she has you to listen because I know God will give you the wisdom and the words to help her through this. It hurts to hear cause they truly are a blessing from above.
