THANKS MOM!

Do nothing, and nothing will change.

Ten little fingers, ten little toes, two little eyes, and one cute nose! What a pride and joy a baby is to a mama, or like me an Auntie! The little smiles and faces they make even at such a young age, their personalities bubble. When do you think they started developing these 100% human characteristics? At birth.. or further back? Planned Parenthood and many other organizations that are pro-abortion are feeding the lie to women that until a certain stage in pregnancy its not a baby, but a clot. 1.21 Million abortions are performed just in the U.S. every year, thats 1.21 Million faces we'll never see! Just in ONE year. I recently watched a video and I will post the link to it at the end of this blog, it showed pictures of babies, NOT clots at only 8 weeks after conception. All ten fingers, all ten toes, and all internal organs, oh.. did I mention this was a picture of the baby after it had been aborted. It is disturbing I know, but thats someone. Thats little baby someone, little baby someone that will never get to be sung to sleep, never get to ride a bike, never get to swim, never get to live. If you want to throw in that rape or incest is an justification for abortions, you should know that only 1 % of all abortions occur from such. 9 in 10 abortions occur within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, If at 8 weeks all fingers and toes and organs are in place, how much more has the baby grown at 12 weeks? Our founding Father's had this to say, have we forgotten?... "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." -Deceleration of Independence, 1776 Who are we to say " its my body, my choice" That little body growing inside of you, needs to be given a chance at life. I have never seen a baby born and as soon as it could talk say, mom why didn't you have an abortion, why didn't you kill me? If anyone is offended by this, i'm not sorry, because what is happening is wrong. Life begins at conception, this is what sex was made for, to bring forth life, not sick twisted momentary pleasure and death. God Himself made man in His own image, both man and woman. -Genesis 1:27 In fact He didn't JUST make man He formed him from the dust of the ground then breathed Life into him. -Genesis 2:7 He knit each and every one of us together in our mothers wombs, we are fearfully and wonderfully made! -Psalm 139:13-14 You know, love is not a feeling, love is an action, its actually a verb to love means doing something. Those babies don't have a voice right now, that is why we need no, we MUST to be the voice for those who are being silenced.

A basic overview:

Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States each year. More than 40% of all women will end a pregnancy by abortion at some time in their reproductive lives.

While women of every social class seek terminations, the typical woman who ends her pregnancy is either young, white, unmarried, poor, or over the age of 40.

In the United States and worldwide, abortion (known also as elective termination of pregnancy) remains common.

• The US Supreme Court legalized abortion in the well-known Roe v Wade decision in 1973; currently, there are about 1.2 million abortions are performed each year in the United States.
  
  
• Worldwide, some 20-30 million LEGAL abortions are performed each year, with another 10-20 million abortions performed illegally. Illegal abortions are unsafe and account for 13% of all deaths of women because of serious complications.

In spite of the introduction of newer, more effective, and more widely available birth control methods, more than half of the 6 million pregnancies occurring each year in the United States are considered unplanned by the women who are pregnant. Of these unplanned pregnancies, about half end in abortion.

At six weeks the babies heart is already beating.

The joy is in the journey.

Sometimes patients is a hard lesson to learn, but it will be richly rewarded! The Bible says in Galatians 5:22 that patients is a fruit of the spirit, in fact it is the only fruit of the spirit that is developed under trials. We should in all things "Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing." ~James 1:2-4 I don't know about you but, THATS NOT EASY! Many times when I'm going through something I am continually asking God ..Why? What? and Hu? But I think that if I would be quiet and still before Him and dwell under the shelter of His wing (Psalm 91) I would be at peace even in times of trial. I would realize that even in heartbreaking and difficult times, times that I can't change, that what the Bible says is true, "that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him." ~Romans 8:28a As the saying goes, If God brought you to it, He will lead you through it. Our Heavenly Daddy would NEVER let us go through something alone, and even though our situations maybe far out of our hands, its OK! Because we have been promised that "In all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us." ~Romans 8:37 And that "We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us" ~ Philippians 4:13 And, "Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the World." ~1 John 4:4 Our God is a great big God, and we are truly never alone and always Victorious!

A little about us...

Two are better than one, for they have a good return for their works, for if one falls down they have the other to help them up, but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone, and though one may be overpowered, two will withstand, and a three fold cord is not quickly broken. ~Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12

We, Drew and I that is, are a part of an incredible three fold cord with God. Our lives are centered around Him and our courtship is lead by Him. He is the author and creator of Love, and He is writing our love story.

Best friends first:

Drew and I have known each other for about two years, we met at a bible camp where we both had been helping out. We kept in touch and remained friends, back in September of 2009 we both popped on Facebook chat and said hello, Drew was about to head over to Culvers for some much needed nourishment! So, he gave me his phone number, texts flew and phone calls were soon added to the equation, little did we know that a great friendship was in the making. I know God had done an amazing work in our hearts over the months before and during our phone calls and texts, we were content in the Lord and thankful for the friendship He had blessed us with. Months later, we and our families planned a trip up to Rogers, MN to meet everyone. To my surprise just days before Drew had called my mom and asked her permission to court her daughter, ME! That night Drew said to me that he would like to court me, and I did the only thing I could do.. Say YES about a million times!

We have grown so much since that first wonderful night when, God let my best friend become even more. We're never done growing, and we're never done learning but I'm very thankful for this three fold cord that withstands!
