Zoe felt that her life was crumbling around her.
Still grieving the loss of her best friend Anaya to a drug overdose and finding herself in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, every day seemed like an eternity.
That’s when her home pregnancy test came back positive.
Zoe was desperate—she couldn’t keep living this way, filled with fear, anger, and grief. Though she hadn’t been in a long time, she went to church with her grandmother that week where she cried out to God for help.
The next day, she scheduled an abortion. She wanted to have a baby someday, but, as if trying to turn back time to when her best friend was still alive, her relationship with her boyfriend was safe, and she wasn’t pregnant, she thought this was her only chance to stabilize her life.
Deep in her heart, she knew she would always be a mother now.On the day of her abortion appointment, she stepped off the busy streets and into the high-rise building. The doorman nodded at her, but she hardly noticed. In the elevator, she clicked the button to take her to the abortionist.
Amazingly, the elevator did not take her to the abortionist, but several floors up—to CompassCare!
More amazing still, Zoe did not get back on the elevator. Instead, she spoke with the friendly receptionist who informed her that CompassCare was not the abortionist, but would be happy to give her a free ultrasound. Zoe accepted.
Still intent on abortion, Zoe’s mind was elsewhere. That is until her nurse concluded her ultrasound saying, “Your baby is doing well. Looks like your due date is… March 22.”
“What?” Zoe asked as if a fog had lifted from around her mind. “That’s Anaya’s birthday!” She then shared with her nurse about how hard it has been since losing her friend and about her cry to God for help in church.
“I’m not having an abortion! My baby is precious, just like Anaya.”
Her nurse smiled tenderly, “I can see God’s good work in your life. Sounds like this was a Divine appointment.”
If CompassCare had not been there to serve Zoe, her baby’s life may have been lost. In the US alone, there are nearly 3,000 abortions daily. That’s 3,000 moms like Zoe who will never get to meet their precious babies. Every day.
