Support.....

As I sit in this library writing a paper...okay so this is not a paper, but I got side tracked...imagine that:) Anyway, it was brought to my attention the other day here at school that I am too supportive of my brother and Katie. I have been battling these comments, the questions, and I am sure talking behind my back for awhile and it finally hit me the wrong way. That way being when I was showing pictures of BMan too a few students, and one of them looked at me and said "are the parents married?" I answered honestly, and they responded by "how can you support something that you know is wrong in Gods eye?" Fighting back the tears, and thoughts of wanting to totally lash out at them I simply looked at them and said "I am supportive because I know my brother would be just as supportive, and I know in my heart God knew what he was doing when He created Braden." I shouldn't have to defend myself when things happen and why I support the things I do.

Being a Christian does not make my heart hard, does not make me judge people for what they do. I have made mistakes that are no more bigger then an unplanned pregnancy. Many of those mistakes were not made until I became a Christian and became a student at a Chrisitan college. We all make mistakes and it the mistakes that help us grow and realize we were wrong that make us closer to God.

I met God in a whole new way the first time I looked at Braden. Braden doesnt know all the things I have done, thoughts I have had, but he will always know his aunt Danielle has loved him from the very beginning. I am SO proud of Brandon and Katie. Brandon has not missed a doctor's appointment, has become something that not every 19 year man will become in the same situation. He is a daddy, and he is doing an AEWSOME job. I am very proud of Katie....she went through 9 months of changes, 2 and a half hours of labor, and one heck of a delivery to get this little man here, she has taken to the role like a pro and I cannot be any prouder.

So, if you are reading this and have ever had this thought please know that my brother has never or will ever get the feeling I don't care. I love him. I am supportive because I know that in God's eye this was apart of His plan, and Braden was given to us for a reason.
