    Not Him Lord

    For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an unexpected end. Jeremiah 29:11-13 (KJV)

    I saw an abortion on television around 23 years ago and it made me very angry. The red-head temper in me wanted to punch somebody for killing God’s precious babies. I believe the womb is supposed to be the safest place on earth for a baby. I wondered what has happened to us as human beings that we would kill our own children for the sake of convenience. I went to God in prayer and He assured me that He had a better way to fight this attack on life. I saw a flyer for a life ministry in Rocky Mount that was conducting a volunteer training. My intentions were to volunteer in the clothing closet since I was too shy to become a counselor.

    On Saturday, I was at the center and the main counselor called in and she was sick. I remember standing at the crisis pregnancy center door praying that no one would show up as I did not feel prepared to counsel. God’s answer to that prayer was, I have a divine appointment for you today. You are my handmaiden and I am in control. Now, pray, Lord, whoever you want to send today, we are ready.

    Ten minutes later, a large man on his Harley motorcycle rode up in front of the center. I looked at this man. He was dressed in black leather, black boots, long stringy hair, gold chains around his neck, and tattoos everywhere.

    On the back of the motorcycle sat a 15 year old girl. I prayed, Dear God, please send this man to the shoe store next door. God said, No! That big man walked into the center, he never said a word, and pushed the teenager toward me. She said, Miss, I need a pregnancy test, I think I’m pregnant. I looked at the big man and felt afraid. I quickly took the girl to the counseling room. We did a pregnancy test and the test was negative. This gave me an opportunity to share God’s love for her and His plans for her life. We talked about second virginity and that she was precious to God. She accepted Jesus that day. After she accepted Jesus, she asked me to please tell her Daddy the things I had shared with her. I agreed to tell him and told her to bring him to the center.

    She turned to me and said, He’s in the waiting room. I cringed at the thought of sharing with this man. I even asked God if He knew this man was her father. God knew and reminded me that he had a plan for this encounter. I asked the man into the counseling room, my thoughts were running wild. God, this is a really big scary man. He looks like he could hurt me, he may not listen.

    I prayed, Lord, this is all yours. Since I am a kindergarten teacher of 38 years, I have learned to talk fast because kindergarten children have very short attention span. Remember this man had not said a word the entire time. I shared as quickly as I could. The man never moved or spoke, he just sat there. I finished what I thought God wanted me to say. I felt good about things so far. Then God said, Ask him if you can pray for him? I told God I didn’t know if this man knew much about prayer. Have you seen this man? was my question to God.

    You see I was judging and that was a sin. God’s reply was I made him and I died for him, who made you judge? My answer to God was Yes, Lord, and I ask you to forgive me for judging. I asked the man if I could pray for him. The man nodded, he never said a word, he stood, took my hand and his daughter’s hand. We formed a circle in that room that day. I felt like the Bible story of the three men in the furnace and the fourth was like unto the Son of God.

    God did come into that room that day and spoke to each one of us personally. He
