I woke up this morning at about 7am preparing to sidewalk counsel at Planned Parenthood in Aurora. It was about 4 degrees at that time (and that is not with the windchill), so I thought for sure that no prayer warriors would be out today. However, it was important that I go just in case someone was out there praying so that I would be able to counsel. When I arrived at Planned Parenthood, there were three prayer warriors out there in the freezing cold! I thought, “Wow! God must really want me out here today.” So, I bundled up as best I could, and I counseled for about 40 minutes. When I was just about frozen, I decided that I should probably go to the car to warm up. It wasn’t an easy decision because I hated the fact that while I was in the car, I knew that women would be going into the clinic to have abortions, and that I would be in the car and not counseling. On the other hand, my fingertips were frozen, and it was getting difficult to breathe in the sub zero temps, so I needed a quick break so that I could continue counseling.
I will update this blog with more details about the incident at a later date . For now, you can read the news stories listed at the home page of sidewalkcounseling.com.
