Susan LaffertyNew believer. We meet for encouragement and discipleship.
This young woman lives behind walls in her country. No access to community. Seeing only immediate family members.
She came to know Christ while practicing English via video call with a sister in our local church.
Now we connect online. According to internet strength.
And if her electricity is on that week.
Sometimes troubles flow. Underneath.
A running series of concerns. Questions darting here and there.
Waking in the night. Persistent through the day. Disquiet, rhythmic.
Children’s needs. Aging parents. Friends’ struggles.
Natural disasters. State of the world.
Future plans, uncertain.
You name it.
Little one. Growing in the dark confines of the womb.
Moving, turning, kicking, squirming.
And, one day, fighting the push through the birth canal.
Born into a bright new world.
