Did you know that most women facing an unplanned pregnancy are not teenagers? In her 30s, Erica is no exception. “Messy” would be a generous way of describing her life. But God specializes in turning messes into testimonies.
She’d just completed an addiction program when she relapsed. After 15 years of poor choices, life felt impossible. “A baby will only make things worse.”
Years ago, Erica had an abortion. The pain of repeating it terrified her now. So, she came to CompassCare looking for answers.
“I cannot have this baby and I do not want an abortion,” she told the nurse in the same exam room where she’d experienced an ultrasound a month earlier.
The tension was suffocating. Erica needed wisdom, but her addiction was tempting her to a false salvation through drugs.
“Can I pray for you?” the nurse asked.
Erica nodded.
“Give Erica wisdom and peace. Give her clarity to make the best decisions for her life and for her baby.”
Erica thanked the nurse on the way out, confessing her urge to quench the craving.
Weeks passed. The CompassCare team called and texted. Silence. But the nurses kept praying.
Then, nearly a month later, a reply: “I’ve decided to keep the baby.”
God is weaving a beautiful testimony for both Erica and her sweet baby.
