Chapter 15
The Planned Parenthood Experience
Meanwhile Joe is coming out of an awesome prayer time with
God. He looks up and continues to praise this truly awesome,
magnificent God that he serves. He then hears a noise in the
kitchen. He figures Cindy must have come in the back door but he
wonders why. He gets up and walks toward the kitchen and as he
turns the corner, there she is- the woman of his dreams. He asks
Cindy how her day went. She glances over at Joe and tells him
that she will let him know some important events that transpired
while he was at work today. Joe looks at her confused but he
decides to let it go until after dinner, he doesn't want to eat
burnt food besides sitting close to someone with cold shoulders.
He goes back to the living room. As he is in there waiting on
dinner, the phone rings. Joe answers, "Home of Joe and Cindy
Woods, children of the Most High God. May I help you?" The voice
on the other end says, "What did you say?" That was becoming a
normal question for them. Joe repeats it and the man on the other
end says, "Oh!, I was just calling to see if you as the man of
the house would like to have cable television installed in your
home for as little as..." Joe hangs up the phone but he also
apologizes to God, "God, I am sorry that I did that but I don't
want to hear about t.v.'s right now especially since what happen
a little over an hour ago."
Joe picks up the paper. He starts reading about some arsonist
burning down some abortion clinics in different parts of the country.
He found that interesting especially the remark that she made, that
a building isn't anything compared to letting a child live. He was thinking
about that and Cindy hollers from the kitchen, "Come and get it! A hot
meal for hard workers." Joe gets up and runs to the dining area.
He plops down in the man's chair at the table and meekly asks
Cindy to pray this time. Cindy says, "With pleasure." She bows
her head and calls upon the Lord of life to anoint them, to fill
them with his presence, to lead them into a deeper walk with him.
To give them the strength to face each and every day with its
different problems, tribulations, trials. To live as if Jesus
were coming in the next few minutes. To live totally separated
unto him and given over to him so they can be used in the lives
of others that are lost, confused, hurting as they once were and
wouldn't even admit it to themselves for so long. She continues
to thank the Lord for his blessings, and for the one that they
are about to experience right then and that is food when there
are ever so many people all over the world starving to death,
many don't have one meal a week much less a day especially not
three meals a day. She praises the Lord for meeting their needs
and asks him to show them what to do to help others that they
come in contact with.
She then closes her prayer and Joe says, "Amen and amen to that,
Cindy! Pass the potatoes." Cindy does so but then she says, "Joe,
I was serious about what I just said." Joe looks at Cindy, "I know you
were honey! About what?" She shakes her head and says, "About the
people starving to death all around us and we don't seem to care."
Joe looks at Cindy and says, "What can we do, we are just two people!"
Cindy says, "Two people with the Almighty God living inside of them!" That
put a different perspective on it and Joe says, "Yea, you are right,
Cindy! What has the Lord shown you?" She mentions the money that
they have been saving for years to travel around the world. Joe
stops what he is doing and looks into Cindy's big, beautiful,
brown eyes again. "Cindy, do you want to use that money to do
something about people starving around here? Jesus said that we
will always have the poor with us." Cindy agrees, "But he also
said though his apostles that if we see our brother in need and
don't do anything about it, how can we say that the love of God
abides in us." Joe looks down at his food again and he is
thinking, 'What if I didn't get to eat at least a couple of meals
a day, how would I like it? Jesus also said that in all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you that we are to do
the same. I would want others to help me so why shouldn't I be
willing to help others?' Joe looks up from his plate of food,
"Let's do it honey!" A smile goes across Cindy's face. Her eyes
looked even prettier to Joe. Almost like he has heard people say,
'the face of an angel. Cindy says, "Joe, I knew that you had the
same God in you that I have living in me and I know that if he
can tell me something that he can tell you the same." Joe laughs
as his mind goes back to the day that they go to get married and
he says close to the same words to her. "Cindy, women should be
seen and not heard." At that comment, Cindy throws a biscuit at
Joe and it hits him on the head. Cindy says, "That's all right,
there is nothing up there to hurt!" They start laughing. They
finish eating and Joe retires to the living room thinking about
the new opportunities ahead of them. Cindy comes in about 40
minutes later and sits down beside Joe and starts to recount some
of the day to him. She tells Joe about her sickness and being
confused to what it was, how she went to the doctor and found
out. She stops and is quiet. Joe says, "What was it honey?" Cindy
looks straight at Joe and says, "The doctor said that I am
pregnant!" Joe is stunned yet now it was coming together for him,
the animal rights activist, Clyde telling him about Planned
Parenthood, dying to self and living in God. He smiles at Cindy
and says, "Then what did you do?" Cindy tells Joe that her doctor
told her that Planned Parenthood is right down the street and
nobody would ever know not even her husband. A flush of anger
rose in Joe but he submitted it to the Lord.
Cindy continued on. She tells Joe how she went down to Planned
Parenthood and they explained to her how it wasn't life yet, just a few
cells. She went on to tell Joe that she believed it, not because it was
factual evidence, it was what she wanted to hear. Joe is nodding
as he is thinking this is a lot better than t.v. Cindy then takes
Joe to Planned Parenthood with her in his mind so that he can
experience to the best of his ability what she was going through.
She then explained to him that was the day that she met him for
lunch at his work place. He remembered now and brought back to
his remembrance why she was wasn't walking so well, the
laminaria. He was seeing clearer and clearer. Then in the evening
when she was crying as she was reading Psalm 139 and she couldn't
read it anymore and so she let Joe read the rest and he did and
made some comments. Oh, how Joe was seeing the hand of God once
again all through this and he hasn't seen the best yet. Cindy
then takes him to the day of the scheduled abortion. Joe is all
ears. Cindy starts by telling him about her getting ready and she
was nervous, something wasn't right, she thought that God was
bringing all of this together so that she could go around the
world as she has planned for years and get a modeling job. She
tells Joe about arriving at the clinic and partially undressing
and laying there with her feet in some sort of stirrups. The
doctor comes in and asks her how she is doing and she tells him
not so good. He tells her that she will be doing a lot better
when he gets rid of the little inconvenience that is troubling
her.
This is when she tells Joe what happened next. She tells him
about her laying there, confused, troubled, bugged and then it
happened. She heard a voice saying, "Before I formed thee in the
womb, I knew thee and I ordained thee to be a prophet to the
nations." Where was that coming from? She heard it and this is
when he was turning on the abortion machine. Cindy tells Joe
about her hollering, "No, no, no, I don't want an abortion" as
she is coming up off the table and she shares how she is pushed
back down. Joe is getting angry again but the Lord calms him
down. Cindy continues on, telling how she got a massive headache
but she wasn't about to quit. She comes up again and again she is
pushed back down. She comes up for the third time and pushes him
out of the way as if he were no more than a piece of trash. Was
that prophecy? Maybe that is what she was pushing out of her way.
Joe is following and then she talks about running to her car,
feeling free, she was free to do what was right, free. Joe jumps
up off the couch and hugs Cindy for being the woman that every
woman should be, a woman created by God and the female is the one
who bears the children not the males and that is a true woman.
As he is hugging Cindy, Joe tells her the verse that he was
memorizing that night, that was playing on his tape recorder as
he was going to bed and she was in the living room on the couch
before all this happened and the prayer that he prayed for her.
The verse was Jeremiah 1:5 and Joe quotes it to her, "Before I
formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest
forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a
prophet unto the nations." Cindy looks at Joe through her tear
stained eyes. "The ways of the Lord are almost beyond
comprehension." Her mind is going back to God's word and God says
that it won't come back void. How true that is. In a sad voice
Cindy says, "I didn't quote it correctly!" Joe says back, "You
weren't memorizing it either!"
