None of us here at Central Texas LifeCare wishes to see a 14 year old girl in a crisis pregnancy, but as we pray every day for God to send us the clients He wants us to see, we are prepared. One such client came in recently. She was a precious, albeit VERY, young 14 year who arrived with her mother one hot summer afternoon. As the volunteer Peer Counselor began to build a relationship with this client, whom we will call Sara, she began to reveal much about her life. Sara’s mother attended the appointment and indicated that she had been a former client of the pregnancy center and while the mother was certainly not condoning the 14 year old Sara’s behavior she was grateful that Sara was leaning towards choosing life for her baby inspite of tremendous pressure from the 14 year old FORMER boyfriend.
This young man was not ready to be a father he said and was insisting that Sara abort the baby so that he could continue to live as a 14 year old without the responsibilities of a child. Sara bravely stood her ground and made a decision to choose life for her unborn child, telling the boyfriend that just like she was already a mother, he was already a father, no matter what!!! Sara received the information and support she needed that day and a little more as this story continues. It seems that Sara and mom had been to another agency seeking help that day, and upon asking whether there was a place that could provide free services, the agency informed them that CTLC did, but maybe they did not want to go ‘there’ as ‘there’ was a religious place. Well of course they did, indicated mom! That is just the place we are looking for! A place that not only offers help, but HOPE!!! And so the divine appointment took place and the rest is history!
We give God the Glory for the $20,980.50 raised to date!!! Twenty-nine churches participated and God brought in the harvest!
