Choose life
Amidst the uncertainty
Amidst lack or poverty
Courage
Take those baby steps
Knees trembling
Yet moving forward
Square your shoulders
Dust your clothes off
Falling and stumbling
Is part of life
Courage
Give someone you have never meet a chance
Believe
Have faith
That all will be well
Believe God
Believe His word
That He will be there with you
That He will take care of you and your child
Courage
Step in to the unknown
Dear sister
Will you take courage?
Even if the path is unclear
No one knows what tomorrow will bring
Questions that only God can answer
What will become of this child?
If I choose life for them
If I choose to keep this baby
I am terrified,
I don’t have enough money, time, help, or space
I don’t have enough for myself let alone for a baby
My cross is heavy enough for me to bear
Yet I hear a whisper
This baby is yours! Keep it
Getting rid of it will not make things better
Step into paths unknown
Trust
Faith
In someone bigger
Someone stronger
Someone with shoulders broader that yours
Sight
How far can you see?
How much do you know?
Who can change ashes to beauty?
Believe in Him
Take His hand
Watch Him lead you
Into paths unknown to you
Trust
Selah

For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’”
