Making A Difference

One of our Abstinence Educators recently shared the following story. It is so wonderful that we are able to make an impact in our community! It is what we love to do!  

A few years ago I was preparing to present our Choose to Wait abstinence education program to a sixth grade class. Before class began, a girl with a beautiful smile came up and introduced herself to me. She had some disabilities, but they certainly did not hinder her outgoing spirit. After class was dismissed, she came up and thanked me for what I taught. She shared that earlier that year, a boy had asked her to “touch” him and she did so explaining that she didn’t know that was bad. We talked and I left her praying God’s protection of her so she wouldn’t be taken advantage of by anyone. (Her mental disability caused her to be very naïve and trusting without being able to know right from wrong.)

Two years later, I came back to that same school system to speak to the eighth graders and when I walked in the door, that beautiful smile was waiting for me once again. She gave me a big hug and wanted me to know she listened in the sixth grade and did what I told her to do. This time when I left her, I was praising God for allowing me to play a role in His protection.

There are always times when I question if we’re doing any good and if the kids are listening. It is miracles like this that remind me we are helping. Praise God!
