Power of Prayer I recently got a few updates on moms that have chosen life. One letting me know she`d had her baby a few weeks ago. Another was from the grandmother of the baby. I will remember the one with the grandmother forever because that story is one you hope for. Actually they all are ones you hope for. Iwould lovew it if every mom I spoke with would choose life. This particualr one was unique because it was a multi genertion save. It was a situation where a mother thought she was doing the best that she could by doing what her daughter requested and by not asking questions. Unfortunately and fornately for this mother/grandmother to be , I was there. When I saw the two women walking across the parking lot and then the older one walking out of Planne Parenthood I boldly asked what was going on. The mother said she wasnt sure. Considering I am the mother of four girls I knew that was only partially true because we moms have an intuintion where our girls are concerened s...

πππ Along for the rideπππ Girls frequently do things in groups. Unfortunately they also visit Planned Parenthood in groups. This was the case the other day. I happened to see a group of girls and I offered them a flower. When they walked up I asked which one was pregnant and one girl raised her hand. We all talked about the situation and I asked if they'd like to go to our new building to talk. They willingly came alone. On the walk over I was able to access who was actually pro life and who was pro choice. In a group it`s good to know this so I know how to address the group. I can focus on the one (s) who are pro life and talk about what a good friend they are to come along to support their friend while she starts to r...

ππππ Do Not Give Up πππ In life it is so wonderful to be able to see things come full circle. We have had a chance to witness this in the name of life. We had a mom who reluctantly chose life at the start. Time passed and she started to get excited about the birth of her son. She even attended other moms` showers. She was happy and chatted with everyone. Finally it was time for her shower and she brought her whole family. She was showered with gifts and love and well wishes. A week later she had her baby. We reached out and it was good…for a week. Then we noticed a change. Her text communication was different. She started asking for food and money. Then she told us she was living at a friend`s house and the baby was removed from her care. Her other children were removed from her care. She admitted she had a drug addiction. It was bad. She was floundering. We stepped back because we dont have the tools to manage drug addiction. We are an...

π¦»π¦» Presentation π¦»π¦» I have always said that you never know who is listening to what you say. I said that while I was coaching sports. Sometimes it was the most difficult athlete that came back and said “thank you, I needed someone to push me the way you did”. Sometimes it was a girl who came around to say “I watched the way you tried so hard to get the team to hear what you were saying and I can tell you really mean what you say so I am going to get the rest of the team on board”. This time it was a young mom who said “ I am planning to keep my baby because you came to my school when I was in high school and I listened to your presentation about what it means to be pro life”. This time what I said and what the person with me said saved a life. It possibly saved several from a lifetime of sorrow, regret and guilt. If you know me, you know that I say what I think. It doesn't always come out sounding like a lullaby but if you listen closely when I am talking about something ...

π―π― Light π―π― During the past couple of weeks we`ve had a hard time with construction going on at our facility. It's hard to conduct business as usual. We even had to limit the amount of volunteers. We have had very few prayer warriors. When you do work like this you need as much help as you can get. Evil loves an opening. It loves distraction. It loves discouragement. It's A secret fighter. Interestingly good loves goodness. It only takes a little bit of goodness to keep people going. In the battle of life sometimes it only takes one breath to keep us going. In the battle of abortion sometimes it only takes one positive conversation to remind us that we are doing good and to remind us that we are doing God's work. I'm not sure why we need to be reminded but we all do. Last week I was reminded of this. I approached a young lady with a flower and a flyer as usual and we started to have a conversation about why she was at Planned parenthood. Fortunately she wasn't...

ππππ Second Chanceππππ Very often you will hear pro life supporters say that if you weren't successful helping a mom choose life this time, you might be next time. I never really felt comfortable with that. It still feels like a fail. The fact of the matter is that if you help save a life, any life, it`s a win. I experienced that a few days ago. We had a “repeat customer”. A mom came back to Planned Parenthood pregnant again. I met her a few months ago and spoke with her at length and thought she'd chosen life. She said she had. I followed up but didn't hear from her. History shows that this is NOT an indication one way or the other. Sometimes moms dont want to be reminded of the fact that they almost chose abortion. Sometimes they will message and tell me they need help because they did in fact choose abortion later. I wasn't sure about this mom. I got a call from Deshawn asking if I was one my way because he had a mom who was abortion minded and reminded me t...

You never know who is listening πππππ Today I was at the park talking to the moms and dads with their babies. The question of what to do for a living often comes up because I wear a uniform shirt. I was telling one of the dads what I do and he commented that although he is not proabortion, he feels a woman has the right to one if she`s been raped and or incest is involved. I gave him the statistics related to those circumstances. The incidence of pregnancy is very low and the desire to abort is even lower. We talked about some other things and then I started telling him about the fact that a girl as young as 12 can tell her teacher she doesnt feel well, and the teacher can take that child to Planned Parenthood without the permission of the parent, in California and in other states. He said he didnt believe that was true. I was explaining that it was indeed true. A mom of one of the toddlers was listening and spoke up saying it is actually true and she knew it to b...
