CompassCare
23 women and their babies were served at CompassCare this week. ---------- Prayer: "Melinda" came to CompassCare for an initial appointment recently. Although the father of the baby wanted her to carry to term and raise the child, Melinda felt pressured to get an abortion. She feels financially burdened and has a toddler at home. The viability of her pregnancy was confirmed via ultrasound. Melinda remarked she "had no idea there was so much development." After reviewing the abortion information brochure she felt less confident about getting an abortion. She wanted time to talk with her mom. Melinda has had two appointments at CompassCare since then. At her most recent appointment, she became emotional and shed tears at the sight of her eight-week-old baby moving on the ultrasound screen. She feels guilty considering abortion, especially given the that she has support from her mom as well as her boyfriend and his mom. But financial pressure along with relationship challenges have her locked in a state of uncertainty. She is scheduled for a follow-up appointment with CompassCare and an initial appointment with her OB/GYN. Pray Melinda fully resolves to carry her pregnancy to term and banishes all thoughts of abortion from her mind.---------- Praise: "Lily" is a young mother raising an infant. She and her boyfriend work together as parents, but news of a second pregnancy was overwhelming to Lily. She wanted to get an abortion. Her boyfriend said he wished she keep the baby and was prepared to welcome a second child into their home. However, he went ahead and researched abortion options for her. They chose to come to CompassCare to find out how far along Lily is. Lily said she hoped she was less than ten weeks along, so she could "take the pill" to abort her baby, thinking this would be an easier method. Her boyfriend said openly he would rather she didn't get the abortion, but wanted to support her decision because, "It's her body, her choice." The ultrasound exam revealed a twenty-eight-week-old baby. Lily immediately dissolved into tears. Lily and her boyfriend realized Lily's only choices were to have a surgical abortion or to give birth to this baby in a few short months. Her boyfriend again expressed his support and they made a return appointment. At her second appointment, Lily met with one of CompassCare's resource coordinators. She learned about the wide range of support available to her and she began to see a path forward for herself and her children. When she met with her nurse again, she heard the gospel a second time. Understanding the salvation and strength available in Christ, Lily decided to surrender her life to Jesus in prayer with her nurse. Praise God for sending Lily to CompassCare. She and her child have been spared from the agony of abortion and her soul has been made new through Christ! Continue to pray for Lily and the father of the baby as they make plans for the future.
