As a junior in high school I was pregnant with my son and as I approached my senior year I had him that November. During the pregnancy and the time that passed there were a lot of things I could not do because I was pregnant and I would not do because I was embarrassed.

I spent a lot of time thinking that my life was literally coming to an end because I had one what everyone warned that no teenage girl should do….. and that was get pregnant.

Fast forward to 2017 where I am no longer that embarrassed little girl and when you consider that I am unmarried, 7 years into a partial hysterectomy and its been 2 months since I had a left ovary removed.

If I could reach out to that 17 year old girl I would tell her that God has everything under control and that you will be just fine.

So often we beat ourselves up because we made mistake when the reality is that God already knows what’s ahead.

He knew that I would suffer from fibroids starting at the age of 25 which would not only plague me with ongoing female issues but it would also literally result in me becoming infertile.

So as you encounter those things that don’t make sense, find solace in knowing that everything happens for a reason.
