{ONE} logo (1)O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

O Holy Night is my absolute favorite Christmas carol. I have been known to put it on repeat and sing it a top of my lungs in my car, in the kitchen, at church, on a run, whereever. The melody, the meaning, the lyrics all speak to me. However, if I could push pause it would be on the line “the soul felt its worth.”

I think how many times I’ve heard young women over the past year call us and email us with some semblance of the phrase “I am such a loser.” Time after time I have talked to young women who tell me they’ve messed up again, nobody wants them, they are so off track, they don’t have any place to go. They have forgotten their worth if they ever knew it in the first place.

At The Sparrow’s Nest we will do what we can to restore a young woman’s dignity but what we ultimately hope to do is to slow down life, minimize distraction and drama, and allow a young woman to hear the voice of her heavenly Father to the depths that her own soul can feel its worth. Then she can make the changes that need to happen in her life so she can be the best version of herself for her child.

We have launched our end of the year giving campaign simply entitled {ONE}. We have been blessed with front row seat of watching God transform {ONE} life after another, {ONE} life at a time. To care for {ONE} young woman at a time comes at a cost of $115 per day. We have a goal to raise $42,000 in the {ONE} campaign, enough funds to care for {ONE} young woman and her child for {ONE} full year. You can join in this incredible mission of investing in {ONE} life at at time by making your tax deductible gift at any level securely online at www.TheSparrowsNestStl.org/give. Missouri donors may be eligible to receive the Missouri Maternity Home Tax Credit for gifts culminating at least $100.

I would encourage you to take a moment and reflect that {ONE} person who made a difference your life. Now is your opportunity to make a difference in the life of {ONE} young woman and her child.

In Him,

Carissa
