A Blessing To Us
Dear Friends,
Hello, my name is Andy Nash and I would like to say a few things about a group of ladies that did more than enough to be called friends. They were more like family. I’m talking about the wonderful ladies from the Coweta Pregnancy Services. Me and my soon to be wife embarked on our journey of pregnancy almost two years ago. It was looking to be one rough ride.
Monica, my now fiancé and I, were very scared of what was to come because we were not planning this to happen at that time. Things were leading in a direction I wasn’t looking forward to. Things like abortion and a lot of very emotional discussions. However, I said to myself, this is her body and her life as well and I must respect her. I know all of the sayings as I was growing up about being responsible and plan life and wait for marriage. I completely agree with these sayings. However, some lessons must be learned.
So we started looking for a clinic to do what I couldn’t bare the thought of. Even Monica herself was in question with it. So I prayed and prayed, and I got her to pray and listen and don’t jump into anything. We couldn’t find a clinic closer than five hours away which was crazy. Then we came across one in Atlanta that said they did abortions. We left early that morning to arrive at this place and waited to enter. After Monica being called back, she returns only a few minutes later and says “they don’t do it here, it’s a sign not to do it.” I’m like, thank you, Jesus!
So we decide well let’s get to someone that does pregnancy tests even though she had already performed like seven of them. So she searched and came across one place on Brown St. in Newnan. I’m thinking this is good, it’s close and it was a free pregnancy test and we can get an ultra sound if it’s positive. So we called and made an appointment.
We arrived nervously but to our surprise, we were greeted with a very warm and open arm feeling. This was nice after the stress from the other places. We did the pregnancy test and got the ultrasound the next week to see if we could see anything and sure enough, there was a small little bean-looking thing on the screen. We were like is that it??!! And Cindy said with a smile yep, that’s the little baby. We both smiled and had one of those really special moments in life. I must say it felt amazing knowing that I had such a wonderful thing to live for. My own family.
After all this excitement the happiness faded later that day because we weren’t ready for a child, but God was working his plan out. We spoke to the staff and saw that they offered counseling sessions as well. So she decided this would be good before making a final decision. After the counseling ended we left to return to home for the evening where after a long day of off and on silence she said to me, “I’m going to keep him.” I was speechless and I said wait, him. She replies yes, I know it’s a boy. I say well fantastic, I’m so glad and you’re making the right choice. Whatever was discussed in the counseling earlier that day and with prayers flying from every direction, God and the ladies from this wonderful Coweta Pregnancy Center touched Monica’s heart.
I am thankful and grateful to these wonderful women and anyone else that puts in their time and dedication to giving couples and individuals another angle besides just the one they see and are told by others.
We three would like to say thank you and we are so happy to have met what feels like another part of our families.
Special thanks to the wonderful people from Sovereign Hope Church who threw us the best baby shower!
I can honestly say without this fine group of people and their kind hearts and finding the Coweta Pregnancy Services when we did. This could have been a very different outcome.
I feel truly blessed and I come to tears with the mass thankfulness I have in my heart.
Sincerely Andy Nash –
