31 Days of 5 Minute Free Writes 2017 - 27: "Overcome"







Mary Jane Baby Booties.  Crochet

 

Romans 8:36-37 (KJV) - As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

I've never had to make the choice of life or death for another human being.

I've never had to overcome the fear and guilt of a pregnancy out of wedlock.

I've never had to overcome the anger and resentment after the birth of a child who's the product of rape or incest.

I've never had to overcome my own selfish nature to carry an inconvenient child.

I've never had to overcome the terror that the baby I carry is a danger to my own life.

But...

God has given me opportunities to help someone else overcome those fears.  Though none of these women have ever seen my face, they've had a pair of my handmade baby booties placed lovingly in their hands by a volunteer at the crisis pregnancy center.  Those little booties remind her that she is carrying a little person with feet, not a wad of tissue nor an inconvenience.  They overcome because of the love and support they are shown.  I hope I can keep helping them overcome until Jesus comes, or they put me in the ground.
