"God really does do amazing things. He can make light out of any dark situation ... Never doubt what the power of God can do in your life. He defies all possible boundaries we can foresee."

I had just found out I was pregnant after a short lived affair with a man I had met off the Internet. I was married, 4 years, to a another man I wasn't sure if I loved anymore. The biological father was less than thrilled by the news and disappeared almost immediately after I told him.
