After moving to New Orleans, I felt so alone and unwanted.\u00a0 I was surrounded by so many Christians, and even though I loved Jesus and believed all the things they did, I was the outcast. Even though I did what they all told me and chose to not abort my son, I had to live in community with them as the spiritual pariah\u2014the unmarried and pregnant girl. So every day I would fill up a water bottle of sweet tea, grab my bible and journal, pack up my boombox, and sit on these steps.\u00a0 At first Jesus was too scary to approach, so I found the women in the Bible with whom I could relate.\u00a0 I found the pregnant Mary, mother of Jesus, I found the woman at the well, Martha who got life from her doing all the right things, and a few others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oshetablogs.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/peristyle.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1599 aligncenter\" alt=\"peristyle\" src=\"https:\/\/oshetablogs.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/peristyle.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s post is a poem inspired by those women and those mornings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oshetablogs.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/1-autumn-tabletop.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1601 aligncenter\" alt=\"1-autumn-tabletop\" src=\"https:\/\/oshetablogs.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/1-autumn-tabletop.jpg\" width=\"630\" height=\"485\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>I Speak Your Name: A Celebration of Freedom and Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>My sisters, I gather you here today because I am your daughter.\u00a0 I am your daughter, your sister, a fellow disciple, \u00a0and friend.\u00a0 <strong>Today, I speak your names with thanksgiving.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>As surely as some of you never thought you\u2019d bear children or become respectable grandmothers to sweaty, smiley, gritty little children, you became my mothers in the faith.\u00a0 <strong>Today, I speak your names with love<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>Your examples gave me joy! \u00a0Jesus was incredibly accessible to every one of you.
