I can’t wait to have his baby

Dear Pastor,

I am 21 years old and recently I got married. From I was a little girl I wanted to get married.

I had many boyfriends, but most of them were just social friends. But when I turned 19, I started going out with a very respectable man. The relationship grew stronger. I was able to introduce him to my parents and he became a part of our family. I am the only daughter for my parents.

My mother has a son by another man and my father has a son with another woman. When my parents got married and my mother became pregnant with me, everybody was happy. My parents are hard-working people.

I grew up in the Church. My father became a lay preacher. My mother always used to caution me what I should and should not do as a young lady.

One day at the dinner table, my parents were taking about a young man who got a girl pregnant while she was in school. My father said that to his understanding, it was a one-night stand. My father said to me sternly, "Don't get involved with these guys." I was surprised when my father said that, so I responded by saying that he should not be worried about me when it comes to that. I also told him that I am going to make him proud because what they have taught me, I would put into practice in the relationship that I am now developing.

I am not promiscuous. So here I am, now married. I give my virginity to this man before we got married. Of course, my parents don't know that, but my husband had made a commitment that he would be true to me, and that he was done with every woman he dated and took to bed. I am looking forward to having a child. I would like to have two children. I want to become pregnant very soon. I can say that I am a little anxious about it.

I hope my relationship will get stronger. Right now I can say that it is very sweet. I admire my parents loving each other right before my eyes. They show affection to each other. I do want to have a good home. My parents gave us $1 million and insisted that we put that money into an account which would become part of our down payment when we are buying a house. That is not something we expected. But that is the love my parents, especially my father, have shown to us.

Dear F.,

You have had good parents. I am sure from what you have written that they made their mistakes, but they wanted you to do very well in life.

You have a good husband. He is respectful and ambitious. Your parents are very wise. They gave your husband and you a gift of $1 million. That money can grow if you invest it wisely. I wish your husband and you well. Take good care of each other.

Pastor
