Controversy-Yes Please!

This day and seems like a whole lot more now-a-days the subject of murdering innocent unborn lives AKA abortion seems to never leave my mind. While I know that this subject that seems to divide so many has been an issue all along it seems in this day and time it is becoming such a topic that it can't be ignored, not even if you don't care.

I first became aware of God calling me to "do something about" abortion when I moved to College Station to attend A&M. I somehow was made aware of an event by the Coalition for Life called 40 Days for Life. During this event they have side walk counselors as well as peaceful prayers in front of  Planned Parenthood.  The whole point of this is to pray for the people (men and women) coming and going into the clinic including all workers of the clinic. The sidewalk counselors will say things such as "Choose life for your baby" "Seek other alternatives to abortion" "We're praying for you" "We care about you and the baby" " We have free info and help for you and the baby"....etc.

The prayers and things that are said in front of Planned Parenthood are all PEACEFUL words and show nothing but LOVE. We are not allowed to shout mean things or hurtful things to the people or workers of Planned Parenthood. The people that volunteer, simply show up and pray, smile, hand out information to those willing, and love from a distance. I personally have prayed before the Planned Parenthood in Bryan/College Station, crying, and sobbing to God asking Him to save the unborn babies and bring peace into the lives that are entering the hell hole of a place, so called Planned Parenthood.

I have seen women come out crying and hardly able to walk because they just killed their baby. I have heard and read of MANY MANY MANY stories of how some women and men will come and leave and stop and talk to those that are praying outside the clinic and tell them they are happy that we were there because they chose life for their child. They have stopped and said "because yall were praying I was embarrassed to go in and seek abortion for my child, therefore your prayers saved me and my child..." People will stop by in their car with their little one and say "Because of you praying and showing me love, I have my son/daughter here with me today. I could not imagine life without them....Thank you for doing what you do".

You can't tell me that God isn't working and hearing our prayers. You can't tell me that by us standing outside the clinic that we aren't doing any good because the exact opposite has been proven...right before my eyes.

The thing is we have heard and you may even be one that believes that abortion is about the woman's right to choose and that it shouldn't be outlawed. But can you tell me why if you were to murder a woman (no matter how far along she is) that was pregnant, why you could be charged with DOUBLE MURDER? Does that make any sense? IF (in your eyes) that a pregnant mother didn't have LIFE inside of her why would the law be as such? That's because the baby is alive at the moment of conception. Life begins the MOMENT the mother conceives. That very moment a baby is created. It is NOT in anyway about the mother's right to choose. She didn't create the baby herself. God gives us life and HE takes it away. Only He gets to decide that. The child that is inside of that mom has right's too. Just as any age of a child has rights and can be taken away if not taken care of. It is not about the mother's rights. This is not a feminist movement...it's a Sanctity of Life movement...You matter. We matter now and we mattered in the womb.

Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations."
God has planned the life and death of every person to exist, inside the womb and out. He loves you. He made you for a purpose....

Psalms 139:13-16
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.  My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them.

God has placed this delicate yet so VERY important issue on my heart over two years ago. It started with praying in my home about abortion, to praying in front of Planned Parenthood in Brayn/College Station to being sick to my stomach at the thought of killing those babies, to now sobbing at the sight of the largest PP going up in Houston, and finally ending with talking about abortion today at church which happened to be the celebration of the sanctity of life Sunday. I can now not control my tears when I speak of this matter. It hurts that much. I know beyond a shadow of any doubt I ever had that I am to start now and do what I can in Sherman to give to my community. I will serve the women of this area and help educate them on how abortion can hurt them, how it causes complications physically and emotionally for the rest of their life, and most important how that baby is a life...a real human being inside of them, that deserves a chance to live. To help them figure out the options besides murder.

I will do just that. I live to worship my Father in heaven and I long to minister to the women that surround me. Whether you have had an abortion or not. There is forgiveness to all who ask in Jesus name. You do not have to carry that guilt around...Jesus can and will set you free.

More to come on this subject about who Margaret Sanger is, How PP started, the complications of abortion, the options to the mother and child, how you can help if you wish, and real life stories of survival and choices of Planned Parenthood workers to leave the abortion mega industry and support LIFE.
