| I have an update to the Prayer Request about a college aged girl considering abortion. Thank you all for the prayers, and if you could please remember her over the next several months. She will not be having an abortion today. Her mother was told about the abortion, and came looking for the girl with flowers to welcome her off of a retreat (the girl did not know her mother was coming). She was still planning to have the abortion up until last night. Her mother talked to her, and the choice (for now) is for life. However, the girl is having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that her life has changed, and some of her old dreams may need to be set aside to make room for this new life. It is hard for a college kid to leave the "me" stage so soon, especially in our selfish culture. Hopefully with support she will make it. Her life is not ruined, just on a different course than she planned. Because this is difficult for her, and abortion is legal up until birth in the US, please pray that she remains firm in the decision to keep this new life, and that her support system stays strong. The self centered lure of this world is strong, much too strong for these young who disconnect sex from its consequences. FURTHER UPDATE: I was able to touch base with my sister about an hour ago, and she tells me that everything is good right now. The girl is excited about the baby and what it means. My sis couldn't talk to me much (IM actually), but apparently after a lot of drama, the girl is embracing this new life inside her. Praise God! Again, please keep her and her child in your prayers.

My prayers will continue for this girl and her family. Thank God her mother is encouraging and supporting her in the decision to give life to her baby.
I'm praying for her and her baby.
What wonderful news... and what a beautiful thing for her mother to do to reassure her of her support.
Great news!
You know, the only options are not abortion or parenting.
Adoption is a loving decision, and I hope she has someone she can talk to about this option. She needs to know EVERYTHING that is available to her and her baby.
She is in my prayers.
This is very encouraging news Rob. Prayers will continue :-)
