so far I have not felt the need to watch some of the more graphic videos, but today I just felt I wanted to...
so I did..
I did not steel myself against what would come my way.. it is kind of interesting how I am now able to just relax and open my arms to let the pain that comes my way just come...
I have had an abortion and I have worked through a long process of depression, shame, guilt and finally forgiveness and healing..
I didn't know what I was going to feel seeing those images, but I just knew I needed to watch it now...
the images were graphic and it was painful to see just what happens every time a baby is aborted.
I was surprised that these images still failed to make me feel guilt again.. it proved to me that I definitely have been set free..
what it did though was to clarify something for me...
since I embarked on that path that I am on now I have had a passion for women to find healing for a past abortion, I have become passionate about praying for the pregnant women to choose life over abortion, I am passionate about reaching out in love and support with the unconditional love of Jesus..
in all this I am fully aware just how controversial this topic is and how the Christian community has shied away from boldly standing up for what is the truth..
political correctness and tiptoeing around the issue as to not offend anyone... I am becoming more and more sure about that this is not the way to change the world..
Jesus when He saw the moneylenders in the temple did not pussyfoot around it... He was angry and He took care of the situation.. He made His point of view clear to all around... yes, He paid with His life.. but this was God's plan all along.. in it He redeemed all those that were His Father's...
so... after what Jesus has done we cannot hide, we cannot try to be politically correct Christians... we cannot hide the reason we are doing what we are doing..
it is all about Hope for Life, Hope for Eternal Life...it is about getting the word out that Life is sacred, that it starts the moment of conception... it is a human being in that womb and having an abortion is killing it...
as followers of Christ we are not condemning , we don't even act out of anger.. but we do not hide the truth, we love and support and we tell the truth.
this is why today I purchased the rights to publish the little video clip "The Miracle of Life" and uploaded it to the website...
maybe someone who is shaking and leaning towards abortion will not come to Hope for Life because she can find out on our website who we are and what we stand for... but she will have been exposed to the truth... and the truth is what sets us free..
as I am walking on the path that God has called me on, walking on it with the precious women God has brought together for such a time as this, I am more sure than ever that it is not about pleasing men but about pleasing God... and He called me to stand up for what is right... no matter the cost.. and His will will be done at Hope for Life Pregnancy Care Center as it is in Heaven... Trusting Him and choosing to step out in faith rather than hiding in fear...
