Perfectly Human: Nine Months with Cerian A source page for quotes linked to Sarah C. Williams. 0 quotes
“During the nine months I carried Cerian, God came close to me again unexpectedly, wild and beautiful, good and gracious. I touched his presence as I carried Cerian and as a result I realized that underneath all my other longings lay an aching desire for God himself and for his love. Cerian shamed my strength, and in her weakness and vulnerability, she showed me a way of intimacy. The beauty and completeness of her personhood nullified the value system to which I had subscribed for so long.” FaithDisabilityProlifeInfant MortalityInfant Death Book:Perfectly Human: Nine Months with Cerian Source: Perfectly Human: Nine Months with Cerian
“When I first found out about Cerian’s deformity and made the choice to carry her to term, it felt like the destruction of my plans and hopes. It went against what I wanted. It limited me. But it was in this place of limitation that God showed me more of his love. Up until this point, the clamor of my desires and wishes had made me like a closed system centered in on myself, on my needs, flaws, and attributes. My life, even at times my religion, had revolved around achievement, reputation, and winning respect and approval from others.” ProlifeStillbirthSacredness Of LifeInfant DeathPregnancy Complications Author:Sarah C.
