Andrea’s story told by a member of my team & very close friend Bekah Phelps. I thought it was brilliant way to capture the beauty that we see in Andrea. LOVE WINS.
 
One of the Pregnancy Center’s volunteers, Andrea, shared her
testimony with us.
This is her story.
 

A few years ago Andrea and her boyfriend got pregnant. He told her she must choose him or choose the
baby- she couldn’t have
both. She
struggled with the decision but chose the boyfriend and aborted the
baby. A year later, she becomes pregnant again and
the same boyfriend gave her the ultimatum once more. Andrea knew how
badly she regretted the
abortion and refused to make the same decision that caused her so much
agony. But her boyfriend threatened to
kick her out of their flat and she had no support from her parents who
were
also pushing for another abortion. Against all odds, she chose to have
the baby. At 5 months pregnant, Andrea was single, lonely,
and desperate. She saw an advertisement
for the Crisis Pregnancy Center
and made an appointment. Susan (our
contact) ministered to her through counseling of how Jesus has forgiven
her and
still loves her. Susan also provided
baby clothes, vitamins, and other basic necessities for new moms. Two
months later, Andrea accepted Christ.

Andrea now has a beautiful daughter who is the light of her
life.  She shared this with us as tears
streamed down her face.  My heart broke-
but not because I was interceding for her. At that very moment I connected with Andrea more than anyone else in the
room (even my beloved Cruxies!) I understand the weight of that
decision. I had no words; I simply sat
at Andrea’s feet and let my heart cry out for hers. 

Andrea’s story shows not only God’s forgiveness but his
love. God loves her just as much now as he did the moment the baby was being aborted. She is washed clean, white as snow in God’s
eyes. That is how BIG the love of the Father truly is. A love so grand, we can’t even begin to wrap
our heads around it! Andrea now seeks
God with a humble and repentant heart and through this she radiates God’s
glory. His love and grace overcomes our
deepest, darkest regrets so that he can pick us up, dust us off, and continue
lead us down his path.      
Cleanse me with hyssop and I will
be clean

Wash me and I will be whiter than
snow
