I speak for the weak.

I debated for a long time about writing this post because I didn't want to offend anyone....or bring out the crazy in anyone. But I feel like God is saying "speak" so here goes.
 
I love my job. The job that I have now is the best.job.ever. I am never gonna get rich...I am never gonna make the Forbes list...but I am going to make a difference.
 
I work at Life Choices Clinic. I am the Development Specialist. Our goal is to save babies from abortion, Help young moms, and break destructive cycles. We specialize in unplanned or crisis pregnancy solutions. No judgement, no one telling women what to decide. There's no hype, no politics. We don't make money off of any decisions they. We help with FREE quality medical pregnancy tests. Our staff explains every option you have if you are really pregnant. But, we do not provide or refer for abortions.
 
Its not about being pro life or pro choice. Its about love and compassion. Its about making the RIGHT choice. Its about replacing Lies, Death and Deception with truth, hope and love.
 
Its about the 16 year old girl who comes through our doors SO scared out of her mind. She thinks that her parents are going to kill her because she is pregnant. We help her. We give her hope.  
 
Its about the single mom who has 3 young kids, and no money. She takes a test after a one night stand and sees two pink lines. She falls apart into earth shaking sobs because she has NO CLUE what to do. We help her. we give her hope.
 
We teach young moms to be how to be good moms...how to break cycles. How to discipline with love and logic instead of abuse and destructive behavior. We provide resources for young families and moms who don't have money for diapers or formula. We teach dads who to stand up for their families and be great men.
 
 Each year,750,000 women between 15-19 become pregnant, and don't know what to do. They have no one to talk to, but lots of people talking AT them and FOR them. When women walk through the doors of our center they can breathe easier, they can talk...they can speak their mind, and their heart. Without judgement. We are a sounding board.

Since 1973 there has been over 54,559,615 abortions in the US. A lot of those women chose that path because they felt like they had no other choice. This breaks my heart. 
 
It is my passion to speak for the weak...but I am not just talking about those little babies inside their momma's tummy. I am talking about the weak hearts, the burdened hearts. The women who are so alone and so scared that they think aborting their baby is the only way out of their crisis situation. They need to feel loved, and valued. They also need to know how much Jesus loves them. And how He has an AMAZING plan for their life. That the test they just took that reveals a life growing inside of them is NOT the end, but in fact, a beginning.
