Meeting Us Where We Are
article image Tears rolled down her cheeks and settled on the pillow. Her face moved from the ultrasound screen to the eyes of the baby’s father.

He stroked her head and gave a re-assuring smile. It became clear to us, as observers, there was more to this situation than we knew. His tenderness toward the girl gave us reassurance of his intentions and his desires for this baby. Her response told us more than words could say.

After seeing the life on the screen, movements displaying secret activities within her womb, how could she follow through with her original plan? How could she even speak of it? Why had she ever thought about it?

Seeing life displayed before you can “feel” fetal movement is an awesome experience. When parents experience it, emotions can be indescribable. We hear words like; "amazing," "beautiful," "miracle," and "wow!"

Even trainees react to the images when they see them for the first time. It is a humbling thing to see God’s handiwork. To see God involved in everyone’s life right where they are.

Viewing ultrasound images with undecided parents gives us an opportunity to see God meeting people right where they're at!
