A couple of years ago, a lady got up in front of our church to speak. She was someone I had recently met and was learning to admire; I thought she was engaging, interesting and had a great sense of humor. She spoke about her past. As a teenager she got pregnant. Once her father found out, he calmly took her to see a "specialist" and told her not to worry, that she'd be alright. He left her in a doctor's office to have an abortion while he left to go buy a car.
That story cut me to the quick and it was then that I chose to support and be involved in the Women's Pregnancy Center in our hometown.
Their Mission: The Women's Pregnancy Center is a Christian ministry to women in crisis pregnancies offering life-affirming options and services to assist them in making decisions that respect life.
They are a non-denominational, Christian ministry that is supported solely through financial contributions from individuals. One of their biggest fund-raisers is the yearly Walk for Life. I have no idea how many people actually read this blog, but I thought I'd try. If you're interested in sponsoring me to walk 2 miles in my efforts to support this tremendous organization, I'd be honored. Please contact me.
As a mother of two young children, it breaks my heart to know that there are women out there contemplating the idea of terminating their child's life. I thankfully have never been there but pray that if any of my loved ones were ever in a similar situation, this organization would be there to provide Godly guidance and support.
Thank-You
