Cancel the abortion for a "sign from God", now the daughter is 10 years old, the beautiful story

Desiree Burgess Alford, of Black Diamond, United States of America, was single, unemployed and struggling with alcohol addiction when she learned she was pregnant.

Then he thought that the best possible option was theabortion because a child would have "ruined" her life, as she herself said.

But God intervened.

As reported on The Epoch Timesin fact, God, the night before the abortion, answered the woman's prayers with a sign.

On Facebook Desiree wrote: “The night before, God worked a miracle in my life. Not a day goes by that I don't think about everything I almost missed. It is difficult to even type but I share with the hope of inspiring another person who is in trouble ”.

Ten years ago, Desiree was celebrating being sober for nine months after overcoming her addiction to alcohol. However, she did not have a job, a husband. Neither relational nor economic stability.

So when she found out she was pregnant, the girl felt desperate. Although she grew up in a Christian family, she still thought about planning an abortion.

When Alcoholics Anonymous suggested she take a pause to think before making a decision, Desiree headed to a lakeside house owned by her parents. It was the day before the abortion.

Driving under a clear blue sky, Desiree looked up: “I told God that if I had to keep this baby, I needed to get a sign as clear as that sky,” the woman said.

Desiree did not know that two people were already at the lake house waiting to meet her. Her parents, in fact, had invited a middle-aged couple to talk to her about their painful abortion experience immediately after marriage.

That was the sign. God spoke to Desiree through a sermon in church that evening and, later, through a voice message, the facility where she was due to have the abortion informed her that the practice would be delayed by two days.

Those signs gave the woman immense peace and she decided to cancel everything. Thus was born Hartley, who is now 10 years old.

The woman said that her life changed immediately: she also got married and today she shares her story to encourage other mothers in need.

“Sometimes our pain destroys us forever - he said - who could have imagined that this sweet angel would be exactly what I needed? God used his life to transform mine ”.
