When a girl comes into the office, one of the
first things we do is fill a form with them. While filling that form we have
the opportunity to create a bond through questions, looking for similarities
between us, and making her know about them. On some point through the
form/counseling, we ask if she belongs to any religion, is baptized and if she
attends services. To my surprise, most girls DO BELIEVE IN GOD, in A God who
has different names. For the girl who came yesterday, His name is Allah.
She came in with her husband and youngest son,
who is 8 months. They are both Muslims, he wanted to keep the baby, she wanted
an abortion. During counseling we spoke about her reasons for wanting an
abortion (too many kids, she doesn’t want more) and somehow we ended up taking
about God and how He loves each of us, even the unborned baby, and about Him
not giving us any more than we can chew. After a long chat and the video we
show about abortion procedures, she started to get cold feet. She is coming
back today for a sonogram and to tell us what her decision is.
I am praying to God to welcome a new Muslim to
the world.
