AaRaya's Story 2018

“I don’t think I could be making it through my pregnancy without these sweet women [at My Life Clinic.]”
“I’m 17. Still in high school. It was unplanned, etc. I was beyond scared and I didn’t plan on keeping my baby. But wow! No matter what decision I made, they were supportive and brought me so much positivity. They are the reason I kept my little boy! I don’t think I would have if I hadn’t met them. They made me realize how big of a blessing being a mommy is. They never judged me, they were always SO SWEET and they always encouraged me to make the right choice. I’m so happy I did! I would recommend ANY woman I know to go see these ladies. If you are needing somewhere to turn and looking for help, GO TO MY LIFE CLINIC! They are the best and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. God is looking down on you all so proudly.”

The Promise​

 by Christina C. Jackson

​My sin has been hidden for many, many years. 
I am Ashamed, Weary, Filthy, Guilty.
T’was I who stole the life within stripped from the secret place therein. My burden is heavy for it’s far too great to bear. Yet the 
whisper of  Christ promised He’d always be there. Filled with sorrow as I pled His absolution. Still His perfect plan provided a 
resolution. The blood He shed hath made me clean. Death no longer holds me, His praises I can now sing. Repentant from my sin, 
I am no longer the same. Hence in my sin I no longer remain.
 I am Forgiven, Blessed, Clean & Redeemed. 
 No more shame. No more sorrow. With my tears wiped dry, I can dance into  tomorrow. Not looking back, from this sin I am freed. The love of my Savior aids me to succeed. No longer silent, I let my truth be heard. No longer deceived, engraved in my heart is His word. No more chains. No more worry. Because of His glory, I can now shout my story. 
 I am Loved,  Delighted, Enlightened, Replenished. The Promise of the Lord affirms... 

It Is Finished.
Bari's Story
   This is my second pregnancy and I am expecting a beautiful baby girl. With my first pregnancy, I was surrounded by family and friends who were there to support me emotionally. For someone who has always struggled with depression, it is important to me that I have a strong support system. Although I can spend time on the phone with my family, it is not as comforting as being face to face and having them by my side during pregnancy.
   My Life Clinic has been a blessing in both the support and kindness shown by each staff member. The classes offered that both teach and enlighten as well as the bible study I get to participate in goes to strengthen my faith in God. Candice, in particular, has been outstanding in offering a listening ear as well as being open in sharing her own life experiences allowing me to feel that I am not just a client, but a friend. Shirley is such a great teacher, I am able to follow along and have great discussions with her in both the classes and bible study. I really feel the love and dedication from all of the staff and the effort they put into My Life Clinic.
   I also really enjoy being able to share my experiences with other women attending the classes. I was very ecstatic to find out that by taking these classes I would earn “Baby Bucks” which allow me to shop in the boutique for everything I could ever need during pregnancy and items for the new baby!
   From the bottom of my heart, I want to extend gratitude and thanks to My Life Clinic as well as the donors who make it possible for me to get the support, learning, and friendship I need!” - Bari

Raigan's Story

"In July of 2013, I found myself in one of the scariest situations of my life. I was 8 weeks pregnant and just graduated high school. I had no ideas what to do, but thankfully a Google search led me to My Life Clinic. Before working with you all, I was certain that I was going to have an abortion. However, upon meeting with a counselor and nurse at My Life, I found such encouragement. I don't remember the names of the nurse or counselor, but I will never forget being told that I could be a mom and I could even be a good one."

Lauren's Story

"I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant and didn't have good insurance at all, [My Life Clinic was] so wonderful to me and I am so happy that My Life Clinic was there to help me through my first trimester of pregnancy :-) Thank you so much to the wonderful staff. I also received so much information and a free breastfeeding pump they were giving away, what a life saver!!! Thank you all again!"

Elizabeth's Story
​"Sixteen years ago, a few weeks after the beginning of my senior year at Mizzou, I discovered that I was pregnant. As I'm sure all young girls are in that situation, I was scared and in denial. I had already taken a test on my own, and was hoping that I had done it wrong. I was pretty sure that I would not have an abortion, but I really didn't know what I would do.  My older half-sister had been forced by her mother at the age of 15 to have an abortion against her will, and had attempted suicide on her 16th birthday. Her grief always stuck with me, and I didn't think I could live with choosing an abortion. I remember that it was on a Tuesday morning that I drove by myself to Planned Parenthood  to get a free pregnancy test. I knew that they may try to persuade me, but all I wanted was a pregnancy test. By God's grace, they were closed, so I drove to what was probably Open Arms at that time.  I remember speaking with a counselor, and I remember her praying with me. It was strange to have someone else pray with me, but it was not unwelcome.  I've never forgotten how she prayed with me.  My pregnancy was confirmed.  The counselor helped set up an appointment for me with Dr. Michael Burks. I received amazing care from him and his nurse, and went on to give birth to my beautiful daughter, Jocelynn, on May 2, 2000, just 24 hours after I walked across a stage and received my college degree."  
Brianna's Story
"When I was 19, I found out I was pregnant with my first child. I wasn’t working and had no clue what to do, the only good thing was that I already had my own place. A friend told me I should go to My Life Clinic and that they could help me. When I arrived they comforted me and let me know that everything would be ok. Not only did they give me a pregnancy test, but they also gave me an ultrasound and information on the next steps to take. After I had my son, they welcomed him and helped me get things I needed. A few months passed and I found out I was pregnant again. My son was only 3 months old, what was I going to do. I was not ready for another baby. Again, My Life Clinic helped. They gave me plenty of information with details about abortion. During my ultrasound to determine how far along I was, they also discovered it was twins. And not only was it twins, but they told me the babies would be born before my son turned one. This was crazy, what was I going to do. I’d have 3 babies under the age of one and I was only 20 years old. I had read enough information to know that abortion was not going to be an option. Today I have 4 month old twins, one boy and one girl, and a fourteen month old little boy. I love my children to death and because of the continuous support from My Life Clinic I am finding the courage to better myself by becoming a nurse. I graduate in May 2015 as a Licensed Practical Nurse."
