This morning, outside Dr. Emily's, Nancy and I began to talk to a girl who had an appointment at Dr. Emily's. "Christine" began to take a few steps towards the door where her friend "Diane" who was 9 months pregnant was standing.
Christine told us Diane didn't want her to do it and that they had been discussing it the past few days. All of the sudden, Christine said something that caught us all by surprise.
She said "You all must be angels sent by God because he knows what I am thinking about this." I responded with "Well you can't ignore that. Would you like to come sit in the sonogram bus with us where we can talk more privately."
On our way to the van a passerby said "Don't listen to them honey, they don't understand your situation." Christine replied with "Whoa, that was the devil."
It was so beautiful that she was able to see so clearly and simply saw the difference between angels sent by God and the evil one.
In the sono-van we explained the abortion procedure to Christine and Diane and showed them a video with statistical information as well as medical images of abortion.
Diane began to cry, begging Christine not to go through with it, while Christine immediately realized the dignity of the life within her and exclaimed "I don't want that to happen to my baby!"
We then spent the rest of the morning building a relationship with them. Diane shared with us that she is due in just 2 short days and she has named her daughter Star Asia. Christine opened her heart to us and spoke about God's goodness. She also told us if she has a girl that she would name her Angel because of us!
We are so grateful for the love that Christine and Diane showed us today because that is what keeps us going! I love you ladies!
