You are an individual with a purpose, desires, callings and dreams too. Quenching those dreams and desires will only lead to bitterness.

I was pregnant, broke, and rejected. I was alive but dead; my zeal to live was gone. I was a zombie doing mundane daily activities.

For you and your child's mental health, it is important that you set boundaries. Boundaries are healthy for a relationship.

Dear sister, do not let society, family or anyone pressure you into accepting something that you do not want or are not ready for.

I know that most times, when a girl gets pregnant, and the father of the child decides to marry her, it's usually seen as a good thing.

It's only natural to feel like that. But what matters is what you do with these feelings.

Dear sister, are you uncomfortable about the shape or size of your eyes, ears or nose? The size of your stomach? Your hands or feet like me?

For me, one thing I've learned is to keep my eyes above and trust in God's ability to take care of me and my family.

The decision to keep your baby is a hard one, especially if you are a believer.

I wrote this devotional last year to encourage young girls and women through whatever hardship they may be facing.
