Ash Wednesday Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Your child's birth sounds like mine. My mom lost a lot of blood (she hemmoraged a lot during the pregnancy) and I almost died. I was born two months early spent a week in intensive care. I think my dad probably almost blew his stack, at least from what my mom told me -- and my parents certainly weren't "ready" for me because I wasn't planned. But it all turned out all right in the end. Last year I had to wade through so much garbage in life, capped off by losing my mom, I almost turned my back on God. I was really, really close. I told this to a friend of mine and while she said "It's okay, he can handle it" I said, "but what's the point?" I guess I didn't see the point of turning my back on God, so I didn't. Don't give up. Vent here, vent to God. Not one day at a time -- think one hour. One minute. At a time. We have everything to gain and nothing to lose anyway. For what it's worth I'm praying for you.
