"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

We are so grateful to the many people who helped make Christmas extra special for 6 of our patients and their families. Joanna helped organize Christmas giving from Saint Augustin Parish and the 6th grade class at Strong Roots Christian School gathered gifts from the middle school and high school families for one patient's family.

One recipient said, "I am in absolute tears over all these wonderful gifts! I can't thank you enough. This is such a wonderful blessing! I hope you guys have an amazing holiday as well. This was a tremendous relief during this challenging pregnancy."

God is so good and we are so blessed to be a blessing to others!

Salt & Gold Collection posted this picture with the caption, "Mary’s Yes to God 🧎‍♀️I doubt Mary had zero fears…I think she just said Yes to God anyway. What if we lived more like that?"

When I saw this I thought of our patients who are faced with many of the same fears and questions. Join me in praying for each of them this holiday season.

Our very own Sarah and her son Isaiah were featured on the Heartbeat International Thanksgiving card. Sarah reversed the abortion pill she took 7 years ago and chose life. Isaiah is a walking testimony to the life-changing work of InnerVisions.

Seven years ago, Sarah succumbed to the pressures surrounding her and took the first abortion pill thinking it would solve her problems. Immediately, she felt regret and thankfully found the Abortion Pill Rescue Network.

“I wanted to try whatever I could to reverse the worst decision I had made.”

Today, we celebrate the holiday season alongside Sarah and Isaiah. His life is a beautiful reminder that one courageous choice can have a lasting impact on future generations.
