You can think about nothing else. What if I’m pregnant?

Maybe you have even taken a home test … and another and another. Are they really accurate anyway? You might be thinking – what is going to happen to me if I really am expecting a baby?

Don’t be terrified. There are people waiting to help you. Call the Pregnancy Resource Center in Tyler before you do anything else. You need someone to be on your side and help you process what is happening to you.

The Pregnancy Resource Center is in a little house opposite Tyler Junior College. Don’t be put off by the homey atmosphere and the fact that they give their services for free – these guys are professionals. Firstly they have lab-accurate pregnancy tests and can give you proof of pregnancy, an expected date of delivery and later, a sonogram. They also have access to all sorts of information to help you decide what you are going to do next.

The ladies at the Pregnancy Center will listen to you and discuss your personal circumstances. They will talk about your choices and can refer you to a local maternity home (Fatherheart) and an adoption agency (Loving Alternatives) should you want more information about these options. In addition they can tell you about the methods of abortion used to end pregnancies.

At the center there is also information about other Tyler support agencies for women and children. They also offer post-abortion counseling and can refer you for help if you struggling with grief over the loss of a baby through SIDS. They have information on WIC and Medicaid and sexually transmitted diseases.

Finally, should you be struggling with finances, the center can help with maternity and baby clothes and equipment through their sister organisation ‘Building Blocks’ which is right next door.

One of the things I love about the Pregnancy Center is that they are loving and non-judgemental. Many of the volunteers have made mistakes in their lives and are helping because of their own experiences. Be sure that you will be treated with care and respect and that even if you are now feeling despair at your circumstances – there is hope.

Crossroads Retreat Center is located in Lindale. It is situated on a lovely 15 acre home site which has largely preserved the natural setting of the Piney Woods of East Texas. The interior grounds are beautifully landscaped with an abundance of color in the spring and summer months. Guests marvel at the array of color provided by the many Dogwood trees, Azaleas , Crepe Myrtle trees, Hydrangeas and more. Often guest are seen taking a stroll on the interior roads taking in the beauty of landscaped gardens.

As far as the ammenities of the two retreat centers located in this lovely setting, there are two separate premier retreat centers available at Crossroads Retreat Center. Both are unique in that they offer the beautiful “homey” atmosphere of a bed and breakfast, yet they accommodate up to 40 guests who come for various types of group retreats. Among the most popular types of retreats hosted at Crossroads, are scrapbookers, quilters, women’s church groups, bridge players, and school and corporate training seminars.

The individual guests who come to Crossroads experience a few days of being totally pampered. Delicious, home cooked meals are prepared and served. The lodging is superior with comfortable, individual beds in lovely bedrooms, each with its own unique decor. The retreat rooms are spacious and well lighted. Everything a retreat group would need is available from an abundance of 6′ tables, comfortable task chairs, separate guest refrigerator and snack table, TV, DVD and CD player.

The Main Retreat Center is specifically designed for groups of 15 – 30 guests and the smaller Victory
Retreat Center is specifically designed for groups of 8 – 10. While weekend retreats are the most popular at Crossroads, weekday retreats are offered in both centers.

It is not uncommon for groups who once experience the hospitality and fabulous accommodations at Crossroads to want to return time and time again. The owners tell us that most of the groups have come back year after year, many coming as much as two to three times each year. These guests, they tell us, have become like family. A phrase often heard by guests upon their arrival at Crossroads is “We’re home!”

The owners strive to give all their guests a truly relaxing and refreshing (and often very productive) time away their busy, hectic lives. Guests seldom walk away from Crossroads without fully experiencing those things to the fullest!
