Choice and Conviction

The choices people make in life do not always portray their real convictions. Most often, people choose what they would do with their life based on other people's conviction. Some people change their mind on their own conviction because they have been persuaded by others to do that which ordinarily they wouldn't have done. Unfortunately, their life is based on the dictates of others.

An abortion-minded woman walked into the Brooklyn office on monday. Her boy-friend later joined her. After watching our videos, she decided (and was convinced) not to abort her baby again. But she has only one problem: she is completely dependent on the boy. We spoke to her at length and convinced her to keep her baby. The counseling and explanation we gave her made her change her mind. She will also pick a job through us (coupled with our free benefits); and this too made a lot of impression on them. I wish the boy's conviction will not later prevail over hers.
Please pray with me that she may discover her self esteem and stand by her conviction to keep her baby.
