The Dallas Pregnancy Resource Center

OK, so I complain about my job a lot. I don't like a good amount of people that I work with, and sometimes it feels like people's priorities are out of whack. That's the part you probably hear, at least that's what you hear if we are close and I'm honest with you. But, lately, God has been showing me how absolutely amazing this place is. He is showing me how very real He is by the things that He is doing in this place. I am constantly amazed at the people that He brings here. Just today I had a woman call on the phone and ask if we do abortions here. She has two kids and does not think that she can take care of another one. I told her that we could give her a free sonogram to find out how far along she is and to make sure that the pregnancy is viable. Right after I say that she starts telling me that she is not really sure that she wants to have an abortion and might want to keep the baby. Now, what is the chance that she would call this place, assuming that we do abortions (which none of our adds say we do), and then admit that she might not want one? If she had actually called an abortion clinic, they might have helped talk her in to getting an abortion or at least coming in for an appointment there. Its so ordained that she called us. Based on what I have seen here in my two years working at the DPRC, she will most likely keep her baby when she comes in. It's just God doing these amazing things all the time! It is so clear that God is working here in each one of these women that he brings. Its so cool to know that each person that walks through our door, was sent here by God. He has ordained all of this. He sends them here and for some reason, He has picked me to be here when they walk in. What an amazing opportunity and what an amazing burden that I am thrilled to carry. I just pray that God will give me patience, mercy, grace, and understanding. I pray that He will take away any pride that I have and help me to not judge. Finally, I pray that He will give me the courage and wisdom to speak truth into the lives of these women! "I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage, so that now, as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die, is gain. " Philippians 1:20 and 21
