Being Pro Life: The Good News of Life and Baby # 5
We are excited to announce Baby # 5 is here!
The picture above is all I know about #5- he/she has officially arrived.
I would rather celebrate his/her life now rather than question his/her existence.
Today, is the March for Life in D.C. and thousands of people gather to walk for unborn babies.
I haven't thought about this walk for over 19 years since marching in it in high school.
But for some reason... with the arrival of Baby #5- it has resurfaced itself into my mind and heart.
I. post. today. in. tribute. to. LIFE .
Whether unborn or born- life. should. never. be. taken. for. granted.
2019 was all about self-discovery.
2020 is all about celebrating new life.
For the first time, I don't really feel like I have to pre-plan or preset objectives or expectations on myself or others to make this new baby work with our family/work dynamics.
I just believe that God is making my life new.
I've seen my family grow spiritually and relationally this last year. For the first time, I see my kids spark conversations about their baby and touch my belly more often- at 4.5 weeks of it's life.
I know God is bringing new life to our family for our good.
Ben and I were genuinely excited when we found out , but knew automatically people would think we are crazy..
but that wasn't enough of a reason to not tell people...
THE GOOD NEWS!
Life- Your life- The lives of others- is always Good News.
I'm wrapping my head and heart around this.
But, I am coming to the conclusion that life in itself- is not the problem.
Choices, character, and hearts- are constantly led astray.
People fall into the trap of constantly thinking they are not good enough and life is sadly lived by convenience alone.
For me, New Life is New Hope.
I don't think of myself as unworthy of my ambitions or dreams. I'm just excited about living each day towards those things in God's perfect timing- LIVING and LEARNING along the way.
Whether the new life is the new baby growing in me or the journey I am continuing to self-care and build myself up personally and professionally, I celebrate it all WITHOUT FEAR.
No Fear. Now that feels good.
Join me in sharing congratulations with Ben, Reagan, Reggie, Wyatt, and Jude on another Goins' family warrior.
With Love. Always,
Crystal
