At 18 years old, Bailey Jones was surrounded by drugs and loneliness – until one positive pregnancy test changed her life. This is the powerful story of how motherhood saved her from despair and gave her renewed hope for the future.
When Bailey Jones left her parents’ house at 18, she had no idea where it would lead. She found herself in an environment surrounded by the wrong kind of people and spent most days under the influence of meth. Every night she feared that if her heart were to explode, it would make no difference because she felt like all that mattered was gone. Little did she know, something greater than herself was keeping her here on this earth – a purpose that still remained undiscovered.
One day when faced with two bright pink lines confirming that she was pregnant, everything changed for Bailey. Despite being scared and uncertain, she made the courageous decision to quit using meth for good and become a mother – something that had been a dream of hers since childhood but never seemed attainable until now.
Unfortunately, at three months pregnant the father of her child kicked her out of his house. With no place to go and only 3 months sober from drug addiction, doubts began to creep in as Bailey questioned whether or not she could really do this on her own as a single mom with limited resources. But then something miraculous happened; Bailey swallowed her pride and reached out to those who loved and supported her unconditionally – namely, family members like Mom who welcomed Bailey home with open arms; friends from Embrace Grace who showed love without judgment despite knowing about Bailey’s past; even God himself when Bailey asked for guidance while sitting alone on a hillside one night – He responded with billboard sign saying “This is your sign.” In these moments there was hope once again amidst fear and uncertainty – hope for both herself and for the future life growing inside of her womb.
Time passed quickly and soon enough baby Easton arrived into this world healthy and safe – bringing joyous happiness to his mother’s heart like never before experienced before in all its fullness. Holding him as he took his first breath revealed what her true purpose is: To be a strong loving mother to Easton! Now 18 months old, Easton is a happy, busy little boy so full of life while his mommy enjoys career success as a teacher while planning to pursue a degree in nursing someday soon! All because becoming a mother gave Bailey a new lease on life!
Today we can look back at how far they have come together as evidence of how blessed they are by the grace given through God’s love – How becoming a mother saved one woman’s life!
