Dear Doug,

I wanted to express the blessedness I felt, while reading your recent October post in honor of your wife.

I can appreciate the story God wrote for her, with a mother that may not have chosen “life”. I too, was born of a mother that was unsure, not do abort rather to keep me or give me up. She was 16. I was born, her parents said we must “keep her.” So today, I live with a desire to honor and glorify God with all of my life.

I did not come to know Jesus until I too, was married and a mother of a 3 year-old. and new born, as searched for meaning, purpose and comfort from my fears as a young mother. My daughter, Kristi, now 21 is very active and involved in our local chapter of Central Indiana Crisis Pregnancy center. She is a trained/equipped counselor, and volunteers in many other ways. God has been so good to affirm her work...

Just as God walked with Beall, guiding, protecting and preserving her. He gave her the most precious gift of life on earth, to share with a godly husband, and the precious gift of many children.

I wanted you to know how much Kristi and I were blessed to read Beall’s story! Thanks for sharing it in writing. What a beautiful bride!

May God be praised in the work of VF.

For His glory, Mrs. Michelle W.
