Christian family

[Jen_Wes]

So I'm 20 years old, this is my 1st pregnancy, my fiancé is very excited about our fetus... My family are so religious (Pentecostal) and are against premarital sex/baby. So was I, but things happen and I'm aware that I broke my promise to God and I've already repented. Now, I'm 3months prego, found out 3days ago. My problem is telling my family. I mean, I don't live with them, I've been taking care of myself since I was 18 years old so they don't have to worry about  helping me.

I was in the same situation at the start of the year, 22 years old and having to tell my Christian parents I was expecting. You just have to sit them down and get straight to the point, give them time to get over the initial shock. Luckily I was abroad and so sent an email telling them but when I came home it was tense but it gets better with time. My dad is still not very impressed but the rest of my family and Christian friends have been really supportive and unjudgemental. Don't let anyone feel bad about your situation. Once you've repented it's not important, you've been given a gift!

I would start off by talking about a few verses, first I would speak of the Harlot that Jesus saved from being stoned to death, I would eLaborate on his mercy. Then I would talk about Romans 3:23 we have all fallen short and are only saved by the grace of God with that being discussed and letting them agree with you on Gods mercy and how we have all fallen short then you tell them hey I fell short of his grace just like we all do I had a lapse of reason and I can only pray for forgiveness now, they'll inquire as to what your sin was and you just say "insert fiancee's name and I love eachother so much and had a human moment we fell into sin and now we are expecting" remind them that God is perfect in all his ways and that children are always a blessing. ..ok good luck! And congrats! If it doesn't work you still got your fi and baby and the Man upstairs :D ...they'll come around eventually ;)
