Molly is in a dark, scary forest.  She does have a Light; hopefully she will remember to look at Him.  Because her way seems lost, she is deep in amongst roots that trip and trunks that tower and creatures that scream. Only if she believes wholeheartedly that God will guide her through this will she have peace.  Only if she obeys completely each footstep He tells her to take will she feel safe.

And hopefully Santos will let her grab him by the hand and pull him out of the forest, too.


(Forest, in this story, means too little money to pay even her own smallish bills, a continuously unemployed oft-times moody husband, nowhere to live after the baby is born, and the exhaustion that comes with third trimester pregnancy.  Light, in this story - in every story - means the Lord Jesus Christ, who tells us to be strong and of good courage because He is with us where ever we go.  Our part is to have eyes willing to see Him, even deep in the forest.)
