I must share what happened this week at The Pregnancy Center.
This past Monday I was there in the afternoon and I had the opportunity to talk to a young Spanish girl. She is 10 weeks pregnant, single, the boyfriend won't be involved in the pregnancy at all and to top it all of, she is here illegally. Her sister came with her and was very supportive but they were seriously considering doing an abortion because of the financial costs of having a child and also out of fear because of her situation in the country. It's very unusual for a Spanish girl to consider doing an abortion because Mexico is a Catholic country where abortion is illegal, as it is in Brazil (at least, so far!). But this one girl was desperate and was seriously considering doing the abortion.
As I spoke to her and her sister I felt she had a soft heart and was acting out of despair. I gave her some information about abortion and took her to the Ultra Sound room to find out how far long she really was.
The Ultra Sound was beautiful! This 10 weeks old baby was jumping up and down, moving his/her little legs and arms a lot, very alive and active. Little, if any explanation was needed as far as the images we were seeing because they spoke for themselves. It was very clear! After a few minutes seeing the little baby moving all around the mom started crying and I asked her why she as crying. She told me: " I AM HAVING THIS BABY, there is no way I'm going to abort him/her!" And she would not stop crying.
At that point I was crying as well and the sister had tears in her eyes too. It was so great and I could not stop thanking God for touching her heart like that! It was such a miracle and it brings tears to my eyes even now, just to remember it.
I told her that she was going to be a great mom because it was clear that she already loved the little one. And the baby would NOT stop jumping as if he/she was celebrating life, as we were! What a wonderful thing to witness, I really felt privileged!
So, every time you think of us, please, pray for our ministries, that God will continue to touch people's lives and hearts like He did with this one girl and that lives will be saved and transformed by His amazing grace, love and power!!
