About Me

What can I say about myself? I'm 19, I'm currently expecting a little boy. I am Venezuelan and Salvadorean but I was born in the good ole USA, Georgia to be exact. I love to cook and eat lol. I like baking desserts. I attend Dayspring Church and I love it there. I am unfortunately unemployed. I really want to work but it's going to be hard being 7 months pregnant and living as far as I do without my own car. Also it's going to be hard trying to find a babysitter and it's something I'm afraid of. I want to be near my son for the first year or so till he can atleast walk. I am trying to get my GED, I had some real bad circumstances my last semester of High School. I don't promote teen pregnancy although I'm going through it myself. I thought it wouldn't happen and I tried to take precautions but things happen. I think God planned it out this way to help me and my boyfriend realize that are lives were messed up and the only way to fix it is through him. My boyfriend ended up incarcerated about 2wks before I found out. He is really in there for something he didn't do & no, I'm not just saying that. He's starting to realize that maybe being in there was what God allowed so that he could have time to think about his past mistakes and think of how he can fix it. At the same time we are both facing having to be without each other through the pregnancy. It's really hard but in the end it'll all work out. God had a plan and it is really working!!! It's amazing to see how everything is knit together in some way. My boyfriend has been considered for parole but is waiting for a reply by the end of this month. If he gets accepted he will be out in May two months after our son is born. If not he'll be there for another whole year. I am thankful to God that he has always been near even when I've been far away. He has helped me see how he is working in my life.

How would you describe your level of Christian faith?

I believe in God

Share your testimony

Well, I can truly say that I've been a Christian since I was 14. I was involved in gangs and alot of bad things before that. I ended up getting shipped off to my uncles house where I found out I was pregnant. I had a miscarriage in the 3rd month. I ended up backsliding about 2 yrs later. I got involved in even worse things. I got involved with a gang again and alot of really crazy things. I had lots of boyfriends throughout the years. A year and a half ago I started trying to read my Bible. I ended up meeting my boyfriend now on a double date. He brought me into his world, he was in another gang and his gang seemed more structured. Everything they taught was poetic in a street way. They taught about sacrifice, love, and other things. I ended up becoming apart of that. I had drug dealer friends, wealthy business owner friends (who were also into illegal activity,) adult club owners, I met people who had been tried for murder and got of the hook (they never let on if they did or didn't do it.) Anyway my boyfriend got charged with retaliation on a LEO early in our relationship. He was incarcerated for 2 months, I flew to TX and bonded him out. We were in FL and they picked him up from there. Supposedly he threatened a cop in TX but he was in FL at the time. So when he bonded out he was on house arrest in TX. So we had to live there. We tried really hard to fight the case but we were starting to run out of money. He had to go to Houston from Dallas every week on Thursday. His boss eventually got tired of it and fired him. We ran out of options so we ran back to FL. We were there 6 months. Our relationship was growing hostile from all the stress and the bad influences of his friends. So sometime in June I left. I love him to this day, I loved him 3 months after. He wrote me an apology and hid it in a magazine. On June 20th the cops caught up with him and sent him back to TX. Somehow he had my address and sent me letters. Well 2 weeks later I found out I was 6wks pregnant. I was shocked and I didn't know what to do. I never wanted to have a baby at this age I wanted to wait till I was like 25 and married. So many of my friends had babies at 15-18, I was proud to be the exception. I wasn't ready to tell my boyfriend because I was still hurt. I was also traumatized about the previous miscarriage and didn't want to get my hopes up. I waited three months, past the time of the miscarriage and wrote him back. He was happy. I laid down some rules because I wan't ready to go back to him. In my heart I wanted to but I had to be strong. Over time he's evolved. He doesn't talk the same. Anyway I realized that God had to get our attention by allowing him to go to prison for a crime he didn't commit and giving me another baby. It's been almost 7 months now. My boyfriend has interviewed with the parole board. He's waiting till the end of this month to get an answer. If he gets accepted he'll be out in May 2 months after his son is born if he doesn't he'll get out June 2010. He's been going to Anger & stress management classes, attending a class called changes, and he reads his bible. When he gets out we have the support of my father and my church, as well as his family. We will go to counseling to smooth out the kinks in our relationship and he will go to church on Sundays and hopefully other services during the week. He didn't believe in God before, he always questioned him but he seemed to have a curiosity about him before all this. His life was filled with negatives. He went through many things most people don't go through. I have been praying for him. Please pray for him too.
