A friend of mine - a lady in our Church - works for the pregnancy center where a number of us volunteer our time and help out where we can.
On Monday, a lady came into the pregnancy center because somebody told her she could talk to a doctor and get a sonogram there. (We have actual qualified doctors who volunteer their time and a pretty up-to-date sonogram machine that was donated)
Carol, my friend, was there that morning preparing for a talk she would be giving to a group of high school seniors. She was introduced to this young lady (we'll call her Mia) and they began to talk. Mia had come in with her mother, seeking information on an abortion. She had already decided that was her only option.
Carol and Mia sat and talked for about 30 minutes. Before you know it, Mia was praying to receive Christ as her Savior. By that time, the nurse was ready to do the sonogram. As happens in probably 95% of the cases, when Mia saw her sonogram, she decided there was no way she could terminate the pregnancy.
So, a new name is written down in glory, and a newborn baby will be arriving in the spring! The pregnancy center will be there to support them both, including baby furniture, clothes, diapers, formula....
