I was talking with a wonderful family friend today on the phone. She was asking me about my trip and everything I have to do in order to get ready for things. And let me tell you there is a lot more that what one may think. I don’t mean that in any bad way either… We were talking about things I could post on my blog about and she was giving me some good ideas for future blogs. After leaving work today, I thought of something perfect to write about, God’s Glory.
Today was a usual day at the Pregnancy Resource Center (where I spent 3 months doing an internship in the Spring and have been working at sense graduating in May). It is a wonderful ministry where we are able to share the gospel with every women who walks though our doors (and mind you, approx 95% of these women are in crisis). A women came in for a pregnancy test and I sat down with her to do intake. This poor woman has been through so many things in her life. She was forced to abort a baby when she was a teenager by her mother and recently has had a miscarriage as well being 4 months pregnant and losing that child as well. By God’s grace she has faithful gone to church with her husband and children but was set back by so much depression, heartache, and numbness from all these things she has been through.
So where is God’s glory in this? We pray at the center that the Lord will send women are way and we believe we have divine appointment with each of them. God sent this women to us to hear about his love and forgiveness. The Lord was able to use me to express that to her, and those words could not have been my own. I love when I come out of a counseling session and really have no clue what I said, but know the Lord was able to work though me for his glory! And that is exactly what happened today!
How could women several years older than me sit in a chair beside a 22 year old, 3 month graduate and look so intently into my eyes and soak in every word that I was saying? No by any means of me, that’s for sure! May God continue to get the Glory he deserves as we see him at work each day in our lives, and may we pray for him to use us for that very thing. Glorious.
