Looking up you could see wood half attached to the ceiling and through the hole that it left, you could see that they had broken through the floor boards of our office. "I was across the street, on my way to work when I noticed that our window was open! I thought maybe someone was in there, so I asked a worker at a neighboring shop to escort me inside, because I didn't want to go in by myself. Than as we got closer the shop owner next door told me we had been broken into." said Liz Nazario the director of the Pregnancy Center.
We called the police and we waited... and waited. When the police arrived an hour later we were permitted to go inside and assess the damage. WOW! There was furniture strewn everywhere, they stole all of our DVD payers, ALL OF THEM, in our main counseling room there was a huge whole in the hardwood floor and fetal development models where cast to the ground. Then we went to the resource closet, where baby clothes were thrown everywhere and pampers were stolen. What a crazy mess it was, what a crazy mess.
attacked us? They would have swallowed us alive in
their burning anger.
Praise the Lord, who did not let their teeth tear us
apart! Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and
earth.
-- Psalm 124:2,3,6,8

We could allow this to anger us, discourage us and make us feel defeated, but we refuse. I will leave you with these words from from today's 40 Days for Life message; Day 15: Pray that we will not become defeated by the enemy's attacks but rather call on the name of the Lord who is on our side and our help in time of trouble.
What if the Lord had not been on our side when peopleattacked us? They would have swallowed us alive in
their burning anger.
Praise the Lord, who did not let their teeth tear us
apart! Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and
earth.

I am so sad to hear this. I was just there yesterday, and so happy to see everyone, and to see the center thriving. I will be praying for you all. Don't grow discouraged, for 'Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.'
They could try to defeat through such actions, but Our Lord is SO much more powerful!
