A Sweet Dream

December 31st, 2011 by Lisa Penick

A 17-year-old girl told me this story recently.
She became pregnant at 16. Fearful and confused, she had made two appointments for an abortion at a local agency but had not kept them. She scheduled a third appointment. The night before this appointment she had this dream:
"I went and they gave me a pill, I went to sleep and I had the abortion. When I woke up from this pill I was crying and I couldn't stop crying. Then the doctor told me it was just a sugar pill. I was so happy! When I woke up from this dream I knew I would have my baby and keep him."
She told me this dream while nursing her two-month-old son.
God is still speaking, even in dreams.
