If I dont do it, then who will? I used to ask myself that question secretly, hoping that God wouldnt figure out that I knew that. That mustve made Him really sad. For over 20 years, I used to purposely stay away from the Pregnancy Center because I knew if I visited there, they would hire me. I just knew I would do a terrible job and fail. I thought I was doing the community a favor by letting others do pro-life work. I thought people would make fun of me because I was too incompetent to handle that enormous task. Sure enough, when they needed an Executive Director, I very hesitantly applied and they hired me immediately. Just like I knew they would. My first two weeks there, I cried every day with my door closed. Now, seven years later, I know that only when I give 100% of the burden to God...then, I can accomplish something. I have embraced my weaknesses. I know that even if it makes others uncomfortable, Im not here to impress anyone. Except God. I want to impress Him only. So, if I dont do it, whos supposed to? I hope the next generation understands that if they dont do it, no one will. No one will fight for the lives of the 70 babies that day every day in Ohio. I cant even touch the 1.7 million babies that die every year in the U.S.. But Im here in Ohio where 70 pairs of baby shoes will not be filled tomorrow. And the next day, and the next day... If the next generation does not grasp that they must do something, it will not happen. Absolutely nothing terrifies me like that thought.
