Elizabeth’s Journey Back to the Lord
“Right about 17 is when my faith was really challenged. During that time, I met my now husband and had an immoral relationship, and found myself pregnant.
My sister told me about Cobb Pregnancy Services [now First Care Women’s Clinic]. I went alone and terrified, feeling like I was going to be judged. The people there were so loving. It was
the first time in 2 years I saw people being the hands and feet of Jesus. They talked me through options and helped me to understand the decision I was making to choose life was valuable and with God’s heart.
Those conversations started to soften my heart. Yes, I made a mistake, but did I want this decision to end someone else’s life? I really started seeking God and talked with mom. She shared that her mother tried to abort her 3 times. If it weren’t for God’s intervention, I wouldn’t be here!
It’s so hurtful for me to think back on that time that I would ever consider ending the life of my child. Maddox is aware of his story. I share it with him because I want him to know the redeeming power of God.
If it wasn’t for the people at Cobb Pregnancy who intervened in my life, I don’t know if I would have a relationship with God right now. I am eternally grateful for their sacrifices and for their service.”
