While ministering at the AWHC abortion mill a few weeks back
I noticed a couple drive in and go toward the back to park. I walked quickly in the back to make sure
they would be offered help and be informed of centers that would truly care for
them.
When they got out of their car I said, “Hi my name is
Michele and I would love to give you some information, please come over and
talk with me please.” The young woman
then walked over and I was able to have a really good conversation with
her. She was definitely pregnant and
abortion bound, telling me that at the moment she was homeless. I told her there was all kinds of help out
there and that we would love to help her.
She looked at me with her big brown eyes and said, “Really?” I said, “Yes, there really is help for
you.” I handed her a brochure and resource sheet which has all the local pregnancy centers listed on it, and showed her the ones that were open
at that time. I suggested she call and
talk with one of the counselors. She
told me thank you and that she would, then proceeded to walk over to the young man (her friend, not the
father of the baby) that had come along with her and they stood talking.
I then went back up front and asked the prayer group from
St. Margaret Mary’s which comes every Tuesday to please pray for this mommy and
protection for the little baby in her womb.
I then began
Some time went on and we didn't see the couple come to the front, so we began to get excited
that she had changed her mind and would be leaving, but then we saw both of them walking toward the front door.
Becky, the other sidewalk counselor began to plead with them to not go
in, she pleaded and pleaded but they went inside anyway. We all began to really pray for them and this precious baby being led to the slaughter.
When it was time to leave, they were still inside the mill
and we just cried out to the Lord to please intervene on behalf of this child, and
touch the heart of the mommy.
When I arrived home, I just could not get that young lady
out of my mind and neither could Becky.
We continued to pray that God would do a miracle! Just then I received a phone call from the
young mother (the ministry number is on the back of the pamphlet and I had told
her to call me for any reason)! She
began to tell me that she had gone so far as to get on the surgery table and
had the sonogram! She even saw the
images of her six week old baby! When
she began to ask questions about the safety and some concerns she had for a
medical condition she has, the medical assistants did not want to answer
her. She said they were in a hurry and
just wanted to rush her along. The
doctor then came in and she began to ask him questions, to which he did not
want to answer and she thought him to be very rude. She made the decision right then and there
and jumped
off the table and went to the front, got part of her money back and
left! She was calling me to tell me
what she had done and that she was definitely going to keep her baby and would
I help her? I told her most definitely I
would do what I could to help her.
We made arrangements to meet up the next morning and I would take her to one
of the local pregnancy centers close to where she lived, which we did, and we had a great time getting to know one another! She was able to
receive a lot of love and help from the counselors at the Sanford Pregnancy Center, which I am so thankful for!
God truly answers our prayers and this is just another
reminder to me that we must never, ever give up praying, for anything! I thank God that HE intervened on behalf of
this little baby and mommy!
"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." I Thessalonians 5:16 - 18
