Tuesday, I began working for the first time since arriving in New York. That day I stood outside Doctor Emily’s in the morning and spent the afternoon at Liz’s. And God blessed me with a wonderful, miraculous first day. One of the most memorable moments was at the end of a counseling session that I had the privilege of sitting in on.
A young lady came in to Liz’s on her 20th birthday for a pregnancy test. The young woman was abortion minded and completely misinformed about what abortion is. We showed her an educational video about abortion procedures and a more graphic video showing an actual abortion in process. By the end of the videos the young lady was upset about the prospect of losing her child but still debating between allowing the baby to live and die. She was scared that she wasn’t ready for motherhood, but she didn’t want to kill her baby. Liz allowed me to help her counsel this woman for awhile. Finally, after this lady had been in Bronx Center for a couple hours, Liz posed the final question:
“So honey, what’re you going to do?”
The girl took a deep breath and said:
“I’m keeping it.”
Praise and glory to God for these moments that send us home flying in the clouds. He is good and without Him, our work would not be nearly as successful.
