Recently I read a blog and it just made me cry. I won’t release the name, yet it was a woman recovering from abuse, married now, and she found out she was pregnant. She shared how she wasn’t sure if she would keep the baby as she did not feel whole. It broke my heart. I shared a few words, of how this baby may be part of the healing, yet she did not agree. It is her choice. But to me, it’s a baby. It’s a life. It is precious. And out of all the mommies in the world, God chose her to be that baby’s mom. She was chosen, yet she doesn’t want it.

I was raped when I was a teen. I remember taking shower after shower trying to feel “clean”. And yet still I knew if I ended up pregnant I would have kept that baby. Adoption would have been an option, not abortion. It was a life. (No, I did not get pregnant) Life is precious and a gift from God. He is the Author of Life, not me.

Unborn

By Caitlin Jane

I am unborn. I cannot speak when I am afraid, you can feel a silent cry.
My eyes have not yet seen the colors of this world, but what you do to me shows me death or life.

For your choice is all I have. Your voice my only chance. Please keep me.

I am alive, my heart is beating. Innocent life, small inside I hide.
I need you all the time. Someday I’ll grow up, just because of you, who cared enough to love.

For your choice is all I have. Your voice my only chance. Please keep me.

My life here is at your mercy, don’t you see.
I am unborn, my entire life ahead of me. I am your baby.
The world awaits my cry and breath, I long to be held in your arms mommy.
God’s depth of love for you is everlasting. In the dark, or in the light, He’ll never leave.

Though I may be little, unnoticed, please don’t let me stay unnoticed for too long.
God makes no mistakes. Both you and I are wonderfully, fearfully made.

For your choice is all I have. Your voice my only chance. Please keep me.
Your choice is all I have. Your voice my only chance. Please keep me.
