God works in Mysterious ways!

I found myself surrounded by a wonderful group of ladies today, who were filled with God's love and desiring to "feed His sheep" in the pasture He has provided.  Local Pregnancy Centers!

I finally walked into the one here in my hometown and asked to be allowed to volunteer in what ever position they feel that I could fit in.  That was last week.  Today I began my first day of training, along with four or five other ladies of various ages.  Of course, I was the "Grandma" of the gang while others were "Younger"! 

It was exciting to meet young women who are desiring to help those who are struggling with unplanned pregnancies and trying to decide what to do.  Most of the volunteers  have either "walked in their shoes" as I did, having been an unwed pregnant teen or in some cases older women just not ready to be a mommy yet, or a person who was just beginning to climb the ladder of success and a new baby might knock the ladder out from under them before reaching the top. 

Some had experienced the walk down a wedding isle and survived marriage for a time, some had either experienced abortion personally or through a close friend or family member.  What ever personal  experiences led up to this day, now we are all praying we can guide others to make the right decision for themselves and the babies by providing information on alternate routes they may take.

If you are searching for a place to share your gifts and/or talents, these Centers are in most every town and in need of volunteers to help with the  many jobs to be done.  From Client Advocates to housekeepers, receptionist, drivers, and medical persons, the need is endless.  There is a need for people to help plan and carry through with Fund raising events, speakers for events, and so many more areas of expertise.

Don't procrastinate like I have done for a number of years.  Find a number and make that call--today!!

Pray for all the ladies who are facing this decision that they will choose to follow God and for all the volunteers who are waiting to love and comfort them through this time in their lives. 

Sitting here at my desk!
