When I was pregnant with Faith, I didn’t know a lot about what was going on. But I did know that I would make sure to take advantage of every opportunity the Lord gave me to make a difference in this world. And now I have a chance.
Crossroads Pregnancy Center in High Springs, FL offers a variety of services to pregnant women. They offer abortion education so that the mother is fully aware of all of her options. So many times, abortion is sold to mothers as a quick fix, with no remaining effects. That is not the case. Their mission is to help mothers choose life!!! They also offer post-abortion counseling, which is extremely important as well.
I have found it to be true that most of us think we would never be faced with the choice of abortion. I certainly didn’t. We assume that abortion only affects a certain socioeconomic group of women, with certain circumstances. I remember as a child, and even a young adult, my family being involved with a pregnancy center in Gainesville. I would go and listen to mother after mother whose life had been changed by the support of this pregnancy center. I never imagined that it would make a difference in my life.
At just 12 weeks, I was begged to terminate my pregnancy. I knew in my heart what I felt was right, and what I wanted to do. But there were things that made me question if I was doing the right thing. I’m so thankful for the peace that God gave me, and the strength that only comes from Him that saw me through. Faith has changed my life for the better, and I am so proud to be her mother.
It’s easy for us to say we believe in something, and we stand for something. But so many times we just do a lot of talking, and no walking for the cause. Here is your chance to make a difference, and honor our sweet Faith.
Crossroads Pregnancy Center is hosting their annual 5K Run/Walk. You can register at http://www.active.com/high-springs-fl/running/crossroads-pregnancy-center-5k-run-walk-for-life-2013. If you register online, you will receive an event t-shirt. But there is something else…
My sweet friend, Cory Ridge Holcolmb, designed the perfect logo for a Team Faith t-shirt (all the way from Germany).
It is just perfect! It is complete with her name, her verse, and her sweet footprints. If you choose to sign up to run on Team Faith, you can get your shirt for cost at $7.00. If you cannot run, but would like to support our team, you can purchase a t-shirt for $15. The profits will be donated to the Crossroads Pregnancy Center. There will be two options- Gray with Hot Pink logo, and Hot Pink with White logo. Please contact me at sbovaughn@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing a shirt, or if you have registered on Active.com. I want to make sure it doesn’t fall through the cracks.
My prayer is that every child will have a chance at life, and we want to help make that happen, one step at a time.
