Lenai and Matt Schier’s unborn baby had a rare tumor attached to her tailbone that was bigger than she was. The doctors suggested abortion. God has a plan for every person, so if your doctor advises intentionally killing your child, that’s always wrong. Little Zalya’s parents chose life for their baby. She was born premature and had a rough five-month journey in the hospital, but came home. Her tumor weighed over a pound more than Zalya did. Now, Mom is a comfort to other parents facing the same diagnosis. Second Corinthians 1:4 says God “comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” God tucks good into every trouble that comes our way.
