😇😇Past is Present  😇😇

When I started participating in the pro life mission as an advocate/outreach coordinator the mantra I often heard was “you never know who you reach”. This was intended as an inspiration after many hours of not feeling like we were making a difference because nobody was coming into the building to talk or when someone talked to us and did not choose life. I read stories about people stopping to talk to advocates on the sidewalk and telling them that they had indeed chosen life because of the signs that people were holding or because someone prayed with them or talked to them. They brought their children as proof. I never experienced this. This has now changed. Last week two moms confessed that they had chosen life because of our presence on the sidewalk. One mom told one of our volunteers at the fair booth. The other told a volunteer on the sidewalk that she'd done the same thing. One said it was because someone prayed with them. I find that God speaks not only when we are listening but also when arent but we should be. This is God`s work. We shouldnt need proof but when we get it, it is amazing. It reminds me to be still because God`s work is also God`s plan in God`s time, in God`s way. 

These lives are not “proof” they are love and hope.
