This I Believe.....

I believe that children are a gift from God. Because children are very special. There are some women who cant have children, because of certain reasons like maybe their body doesn't have the things that it's supposed to have, in order to make a baby, or they could be physically ill. These types of things mean they couldn't ever have a child. Having children is very special. Having a child is a gift!

When I was 16, I was doing drugs, drinking, and sleeping with guys I didn't even know. Then I met the father of my children and I partied with him,and still did drugs. Then I slept with him, and things happened.Then I found out I was pregnant, and during my whole pregnancy I was planning out how I was going to change my life for my baby. Since I was only 16, I was really scared to have a baby. I was still in school, and doing really well. I kept thinking that as soon as I told my parents, they were going to kill me.I thought wrong because my mom was upset at first, but later she was very happy for me; she supported me all the way. Then after my daughter was born, and I saw her beautiful face, I knew I could change my whole life for her.

So I changed my life, and now it's much different in alot of fantastic ways. I don't do drugs, party or sleep with any guy. I also have good self-esteem. So anyways, it was like God knew that me having a child would help me do things much better in my life which was correct! Children aren't just a gift from God, they're also a blessing!

Children are definitely a gift from God. I always thank the man up above for giving me my two beautiful children. Without them who knows where I would be. I know if I didn't have my children I would still be running the streets, doing drugs, and just living a lost life. Children are the best gift that anybody could ever have!
