Watch and listen to Anchored North's video interview of the to the incredible life story of this young woman who was lured in through a stranger's social media message to later, on the second date, raper and impregnate her. Instead of aborting in the midst of recovering from this man's evil, she rested and became resolved the truth and love of Christ that changed her life. God's word is powerful and longer lasting than evil's impact on and in this world.
Here's some quotes from the video:
- "I felt worthless. De-valued. There's was not enough soap in the world to make me feel clean."
- After finding out that she was pregnant, "What do I do?"
- "I have to hear from God ... I just need him to speak to me. And he did."
- "I knew it wasn't God's will for me to be raped. I knew it crushed him [God] more than it crushed me. But I also knew that life was never an accident. Babies are created by God. I don't regret for one second choosing life for my daughter. She has made my life so beautiful. I have never felt that love ... It's a crazy love. She is just a symbol of hope and inspiration to what God can do ... She is so full of life. The scripture, the story, where Jesus is hanging on the cross and he says, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
- "That scripture came to mind. This man, he was a rapist. He was made in his [God] image. God sent his Son to die for him. He's a sinner. I'm a sinner. How could you not forgive him?"
- "God was always there. Always. Bigger and smarter than the enemy. God is more loving than we could ever imagine."
