LTRP Note:<\/strong> The following story is written by a young Christian couple who became pregnant with conjoined twins. In view of last week’s story <\/a>where a young mother pregnant with conjoined twins was given the green light to abort them by a major Christian leader on a call-in radio show, we wanted to share this story with our readers.\u00a0In this day and age where the lines of\u00a0biblical Christianity have been blurred by the influences of spiritual apostasy and the world,\u00a0may\u00a0Christians turn away from the ways of the world and to the truth of God’s Word. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Happy 2 Month Old Birthday Melody and Madison<\/h3>\n

by Jason and Vanessa<\/p>\n

Well, today Melody and Madison would have been two months old (can you believe that)! It seemed like just yesterday I was in the hospital saying hello and goodbye to them. I’m not sure where this post is going but I’m just going to write from my heart and we’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It is only after Melody and Madison’s death that I truly realized what a miracle life is. I have been on countless blogs of people who have lost their babies, it happens all the time. For a baby to make it to full term be healthy and nothing go wrong during or right after birth… I’m telling you it’s a MIRACLE. I don’t say that to scare you because God is sovereign and in control and worry will not do anything about it anyway. Just trust Him and know that God’s ways are far better than ours! I was saying all that to say that life is a gift from God. Who can right now keep their own heart beating or create their next breath? No one can! If that doesn’t prove that there has to be a creator holding it all together I don’t know what does.<\/p>\n

God alone is the creator, giver and taker of life (Psalm 139:13-16; Job 12:10) and it breaks my heart when I read on countless blogs how many times a doctors tell women to abort her pregnancy because their baby wont make it or has special needs. Are you kidding me!? God is the only one that knew if Melody and Madison were going to be born alive. And they were born alive and breathing. God is the one who allowed them to die. We did not take our babies lives! Even if our babies had been still born I would not have regretted the decision we made to give our\"\" babies a chance at life. . . .<\/p>\n

If you are considering aborting your baby because something may be wrong with your child and you would rather end the babies life now before you bond with the baby please let me tell you that is the worst thing you could do. You are still going to mourn the loss of your baby, but on top of that you will be mourning the fact that you killed your baby. And that is something that you will live with for the rest of your life. Click here <\/a>to read the rest of this story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
