This wonderful article witnessing to the hope that exists after an unplanned pregnancy was posted to FB by a friend of mine. I had written about my own experience with a past unexpected blessing earlier this year, and Calah, the author of this same article had left a comment, sharing, "This is beautiful. I, too, kept the baby, and she changed our lives as well. It's amazing, the work that God can do if we just let him." I am so glad that she had the courage to write about her journey in greater detail. She simply blew me away!

Barefoot and Pregnant: What a Woman in Crisis Really Needs
We need to keep sharing our stories about the triumph of life over the culture of death. It is a vital part of winning hearts.Thank you for inspiring us with your story, Calah. I know your witness to the hope that exists in the midst of a less-than-ideal situation will prompt others to take another look at this issue of human dignity. In acknowledging the dignity of mothers to be mothers, we are encouraging them to embrace the dignity of their children.
LIFE IS ALWAYS A GIFT!
Thank you so much for posting this Beth! It is an achingly beautiful story and a wonderful blog I had never seen before. It reminded me of my encounter with a drug addict at work-had you seen this post? http://annebender.blogspot.com/2010/02/beautiful-blessed-life.html
