Have you ever just seen something or someone and can not get it off your mind?
I had a Dr appt today...yes on a Sat...I swear I am 100% convienced Cancer could care less about the idea of weekends or holidays.
I went to the pharmacy so I would be done for the day and could come home to rest.
As I am standing there..I see a young girl. She did not look too much older then Emily. She looked nervous and scared. I looked at her and saw she had a box of pregnancy test. I am not sure why...but it has really upset me. I think the look in her young eyes was...pure fear. and I am a grown adult mother feeling fearful for her.
There was just something about her that has made me sad today. I found myself thinking about her alot today. I so hope her test is negative. Yet unless she makes some serious life changes...it will only be a matter of time until it is positive.
I guess I find myself worrying everyday if I am doing or giving my kids the best I can...I want more for this young girl and certainly would not want her to be responible for raising and molding a baby.
I know it happens..everyday. But for some odd reason I can not stop thinking of this young girl. So pretty...so sad looking and so scared.
I am going to pray for this young girl...will you?

I certainly will pray for her...she needs all of our prayers. It is a very sad thing to see so many children raising children....childhoods cut short and other childhoods never being what they should be because mom is a child herself.
I saw a thing simular to this several years ago at a Rite Aid, I went into the bathroom and I heard someone crying...it was a very young girl and she had taken the PG test and it was positive...she was devistated and sobbing...and so young, so scared...I tried to give her kind words...but she just kept crying "Why?" and "How?" my heart broke for her...and I have thought of her so many times...and thank God for his grace that as a mother I never had to experience my child coming home with that news.
Many prayers to her!
I made a lot of huge mistakes when I was really young and I remember that feeling the little girl had.
I will. I've seen things in our school this year I never expected!

Amy~ Your heart is so sweet... it is so kind of you to worry and pray for this young lady! I will pray for her as well.. I do want to share something with you though, that will hopefully lighten your heart. When I was 14 I started dating a guy that was 2 years older than me and I ended up pregnant at the age of 15, I had my son 2 weeks after I turned 16. His dad was the only boyfriend I had ever had and I was with him for a total of 4 years. My son was an "accident" but not a mistake... I finished school on my own and I went to college all while raising my son. He was the main thing that kept me on the straight road. I never got into drinking or drugs or partying because of my little angel. I had better things to do with my life! I feel very blessed to have had my life the way it was, without him I wouldn't be half of who I am now. He will be 16 this year, and yes it is crazy to think that at his age right now I was pregnant! Would I want him to go down my road? No definitely not!! He is a great student as a Sophomore in high school, he plays sports and is really one of the most respectful kids in the world!
Unfortunately not every teenage mom will make the best out of their situation but I wanted you to know that some of us do :)
I will say a prayer!!!!!!! (for her and for you:)
It's a little tough to say what kind of life changes a stranger may or not need to make, based on a random glimpse in a store. I would not want that to happen to me.
Maybe it is me being a mom of a 13 year old but I still say if you are in jr high school and crying buying a pg test..some changes need to be made. And I pray she makes them.
I would never judge her or anyone else..my heart hurt for her.
I will say a prayer too!
