Confused, scared, and broken down in tears, I called my mom. She was calm and gentle and immediately offered me and my twins an abundance of love and support. In that moment, I knew that I was going to keep my babies, and that I would be okay.

The next day we went to get prenatal vitamins, and I was finally able to accept my pregnancy; the one that deep down I had always wanted. Being pregnant was one of the best times of my life, only falling short to the years I’ve spent raising my twin boys.

In high school, I had believed that my life would end when I had a child, but now I know that my life truly hadn’t begun until I gave my life to Jesus and gave birth to my boys. They are the light of my life, my joy, and my happiness.

If I could go back to 16-year-old Kalynn, I would tell her to trust that God had a plan and purpose for her, to reach out to those around her. She had more love and support than she realized, and even though she couldn’t see over the hurdles in front of her, her life would be full of purpose and joy.
