I met with a Spanish speaking client for a pregnancy test. My first impression of her was that she radiated joy when she walked into the room. As the appointment went on, she began to share her story with me.

She was violently abused by an ex-boyfriend many years ago. When she became pregnant twice, he forced her to get both babies aborted. She went through life in a deep depression for many years. Eventually she was able to separate herself from him and he no longer remained in her life. During her depression she sought out help through therapy and depression medications.

Nothing was working.

She became desperate and wanted to end her life. She regretted what she had done in her past. Then something happened. She was introduced to Jesus Christ.

She says that Jesus saved her life! She no longer suffered from the negative thoughts of hurting herself or ending her life. She no longer needed the therapy and medications that were not helping anyway. She had Jesus! He healed her completely! He forgave her for her past. He forgave her for her abortions. She was set free by his blood.

She kept praising His name while she was sharing her story. At the end of the appointment the client and I had a sweet time of prayer. I asked her if I could pray for her. She agreed and then asked if she could pray for me. As I began praying for her, she began praying for me. We were lifting up our prayers together to our Lord at the same time. It was a powerful and reverent time basking in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

We were able to plug this client into mom’s coaching here at RETA so that she could have some tools and encouragement in raising her children.
