Three days in the Crimea

We gained new sisters in Simpgeropol. New center take it start in Simpheropol.  It took 13 years for dream to become reality for one of the attendee. Long way, with difficulties and traumas, with lost and gains. It all started with abortion.  Her boyfriend wanted her to do abortion. And she couldn’t imaging to go through along, so she agreed. The sadness that followed after was great. She had a friend who comforted her in her grieving.  He was different from the guy who pushed her in life of despair and sorrows. She said, guess whom I got married.  The one who knew about her fall but stood by.  He was a great guy, they started to dream together, they perfectly fitted to each other. In their dreams was plenty place for children.  But two miscarriages’ follow as the result of abortion.  He was standing alongside again, grieving with her. They both knew what cause it. Life of unborn became precious for  both of them.   During that time God  turned their hearts to Him,  Holy Spirit always with those who mourn.  They joined God to carry message of sanctity of life. They wanted to start a center to help prevent others from fatal mistake. They worked on that, going to schools with lessons about value of life. 

 When it looked like became a mother was not achievable a good news, another pregnancy. A little baby  girl was on the way. Such a joyfull event followed  by unexpected diagnose censor and quick death of her beloved  husband.  Deep lost. Followed afight to live without him.

 Five years followed.  American lady came to our office, she wanted to start center in Simpheropol. She wanted to see our center and know as much as possible. By the end of conversation I said to her, I know great woman of God with  a passion for unborn and women in her heart, make sure to contact her.

I just came from Simpheropol, where we did seminar for volunteer’s .

And I saw the dream come true for one of them. I saw a woman soft and tender, who was comforted by the Lord in her sorrows, who knows the pain of lost. While she was going through the pain of lost many people tried to comfort her, using the Word of God, that made thing worse, you know Job had friends who judged situation from their point of view. She shared, on her way to church she prayed God would keep them from her, she didn’t want to hurt them. She prayed to God in pain: “Lord, they don’t understand me”. The Lord answered: “They don’t, because they didn’t had experience you have.| Suddenly she realized, that she does\y want them to have the same experience. She said, I don\t want them understand me, if that mean they will have a lost of loved one. We all listen to her with ties in our eyes. I remembered the prayer of Fransis  “ Lord, let me seek to understand , not to be understood…” Finely I got it.

It was great privilege to teach them and share our experiences and tell them stories of God’s work.  But God taught us important lesson.   Surely we will hear more stories, because 7 great women of God responded to God’s call. We loved those women. We felt  like we knew them for a long time. We gained new sisters in Christ. During seminar we saw ties in their eyes, we saw God speaking to them, touching their heart, enlightening  their mind with His word. Praise Him for what He has done.
