The Client Connection

We see the Holy Spirit working every day at First Choice for Women. He promises in Hebrews 13:21 to “…equip (us) in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory…” Sometimes, however, we have to look through eyes of faith as we assist clients facing difficult life challenges or when a young woman does not choose life for their unborn baby. Those days are tough and we covet your prayers as we serve on the front lines for LIFE in Delaware and Madison counties.Other days, we don’t have to try to see how the Holy Spirit is working, we are overwhelmed by it! Former client Kathy* had an appointment with an abortion clinic later in the afternoon, but said, “I drove an hour and a half to talk to you first.” Kathy* and her husband are getting a divorce and the father of the baby had left her. Already a single mother of four, Kathy* said, “I just can’t take on another baby.” We were able to do an ultrasound immediately and discovered that Kathy* was 17 weeks pregnant! Shocked and crying, Kathy* exclaimed, “Well I guess that’s why I felt I needed to see you first”. If she had not come to First Choice, she may never have seen her baby moving inside of her and this story might have ended very differently.Then we spoke to Julie* who had come in the previous week wanting an abortion. She and her husband have two teenage children and did not want to have any more. As I discussed options with her, she was adamant that she could not have this baby. She stated that her husband was in complete agreement. During my follow up phone call, Julie* told me that she and her husband had changed their minds and decided to parent the baby! Praise God for this saved family.The same day, two other clients came in separately for pregnancy tests, one right after the other. Both young women had attended church as children but were not following the Lord now. After sharing that God is always reaching out to us, ready for a renewed relationship, BOTH young women rededicated their lives to Christ!What a day! Thanks to your prayer and financial support First Choice for Women is here to offer the truth about Life and the Author of Life with young women in Delaware and Madison counties.
