As humans, we look for something that can help us feel like we have control, or at least some one or some thing is in control. But what if God isn’t here to support or save us? What if God is simply to be within us? What if a divine connection between all that exists is all there is? Nothing with control or power over, but a divine potential that is ours to be immersed within? Life lived in the paradox of our humanity and our divinity may mean that we do not have distinct answers nor the comfort and security of a definable path for our lives.

Melissa Harris’s dream of being a mother again shatters when a fertility doctor tells her she may never have another child due to a physical anomaly in her uterus.

When what she’s decided will be her last attempt results in her finally becoming pregnant, she’s told that this baby, Sam, is also at risk.
