The sweetest of dreams

+JMJ+

I have spent the majority of my first week here at the clinic in Brooklyn. Almost all of the girls we see are abortion minded when then they walk through the door. It's our job to inform these young women what abortion really does to the body and to take the time to find out where they are coming from. It's so important to build a relationship with these girls in the short time we have with them.

After working with a particular girl, I still couldn't tell how she felt about everything I had told her. She went down the hall for her sonogram and found out that her child is already 6 weeks along. The baby already has a heartbeat and doctors have detected brain waves in children this young! Hearing the heartbeat is always an important moment for the mother, and this case was no exception. This particular young woman left our office without making a firm decision, but it was clear that she no longer believed her baby was just a mass of cells. 

The next day she came back with an incredible story.

The night after the appointment, she had an incredible dream. With a light in her eyes, she told me she had seen children climbing all over her stomach. Laughing, playing... loving her. She remembered rubbing her belly and hearing a voice tell her that "This-- this child-- is a great blessing. Protect him." She woke up immediately and knew from that moment that there was no other way. Her baby would come into this world and he would be loved. Fiercely. Constantly. And he will love her back. Praise be to God!
