I have a couple of students who are pregnant.
It’s a sad situation, but it’s not my first go-round teaching expectant students.
While it breaks my heart, all I know to do is to embrace these girls and love them without judging them. I have a feeling that’s why God keeps sending them to me.
As much as I’d like to knit for them, I’m completely swamped with my job responsibilities and online reading classes.
So, I put out an SOS on KnittingHelp, and one sweet lady, GrumpyGrandma, answered the call.
On Friday, I received this in the mail…

I cannot wait to give this blanket to one of my girls. She’s going to be thrilled.
Please pray for these girls. One of them is completely shattered and lost right now. I read something she wrote, and it broke my heart. This particular young lady told me about her pregnancy before she got up the courage to tell her mother (which I advised her to do as quickly as possible). Her mom is now supportive of her daughter, but it’s strained their relationship as they search for answers to the decisions they are facing.
Thanks so much!
