Yr. Old Saves Mommy Psalms
127: 3-5 “Sons
are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him…

Very early this past Saturday
morning we were setting up our pregnancy outreach to the abortion bound
mothers, when our staff obstetrician, Dr. Mark—who
helps pregnant moms with their babies and medical care follow up—
came over to us and was very excited. He wanted to share a story with
us. He began by asking us if we remembered a girl named Angel who had
decided to save her baby after coming into our ultrasound van. We
thought and answered, “Sure, she delivered about five years ago.”
I told him that she had included our names in her baby
boy’s name. He said, “Well, she came into my office recently with
this fantastic story. She was involved in a bad relationship,
where the boyfriend was abusing her mentally, physically and endangering
her health and welfare.”
As he spoke we remembered that Angel has always been fighting the enemy.
We know the devil comes to rob and kill and destroy, and a little over
five years ago the enemy was trying to convince Angel that she
couldn’t possibly handle another baby. Added to this the abortion
clinic staff had her convinced to the point that they wouldn’t let her
leave that day till she agreed to return the following Tuesday to
start the late term abortion. We remembered that we were standing in the
alley and walked with her to the car, all the while speaking in love and offering
to help her with another way. “I know it’s hot, but would you like
to see a picture of your baby?” She was reluctant and her driver was
in a hurry and couldn’t have cared less about a baby. But I held
out my hand and she finally accepted and came into the hot van, and
that’s when the love story began between Angel and her baby.
Well, to fast forward, we fought hard for that little boy inside our hot
tamale ultrasound van, but God won. It turns out that Angel knew the
Lord; her daddy was a pastor. We ended up helping her with bunk beds for
the other kids and supplies and a crib for the baby and we later
celebrated her at our banquet, where we got to meet her family. It was
awesome. But, years later, things began falling apart with this new
boyfriend. She was in a mess and had forgotten her way. Lost and feeling
she was at her breaking point, Angel was sitting in a room with a loaded
pistol in her hand. She was crying, “I can’t take it
anymore!” She brought the gun up to her temple; took a breath in and
began to pull back the trigger when her cell phone rang. It kept
ringing. She finally grabbed it with her other hand and answered.
On the other end a small voice said, “Momma, I love you, I
will see you soon.” It was the baby we saved
inside our ultrasound van a little over five years ago! Angel
choked up and started crying. She put the gun down. The phone went
dead, but after a good long cry Angel got herself together, because all
she had needed was a touch from the Lord. God used her saved baby son to
save her life and to remind her and others how precious life is.
She asked Jesus back into her life and realized that this was only a
test of faith. She may have felt all alone when she was going through
the storm, but God was with her. Remember when we were in school
taking a test? The teacher was always quite during the testing and
it’s the same in our lives. When we are going through our trials we
sometimes wonder, or cry out to the Lord, “Where
are you?” It always gets quite during our God test, but He
is with you. God was still in control and would help her out of her
mess. Thank you Lord! Read related article: Touched
by_an_Angel I hope this story encourages you. I
know it blessed us on those sidewalks this past Saturday. Think about
it; had that baby not been saved, I don’t know if Angel would be with
us, but I’m grateful she is. Keep her and her family in your prayers.
I always tell the abortion minded moms that you never know what your
baby can be and in this case “a hero” comes to mind, but these
babies are full of endless possibilities. They just need a chance. I
know as a mother of a large brood it’s not easy, but it’s always
worth it. People think I save babies: those babies save me every day. Be encouraged,.
