What IF...

What if she would have chosen convenience?

What if she had been selfish?

What if she would have thought it was nothing?

What if she would have thrown it away?

What if she would have believed the lies?

What if she didn't listen to the truth?

What if she thought she had the right?

WHAT IF this precious little girl, who brings our family extraordinary amounts of joy would NOT have been born????

The thought alone BREAKS MY HEART!!!!!

Yesterday was Sanctity of Life Sunday, and once again my heart was flooded with an overwhelming  gratitude for sweet Sophie's birth mommy. 

We live in a world that believes in the name of ease and convenience, you have the "right" to take another innocent life. We live in world that believes human life is disposable.

 I am beyond thankful that Sophie's birth mommy did not believe those lies.

But despite what was "easy" and "convenient", SHE CHOSE LIFE!!

She chose to give my sweet angel the gift of LIFE.  

And then, what was probably the most difficult decision she would ever have to face...

 she didn't just choose LIFE, but she chose a better life. 

She chose us.

Remember that there is no difference between an unborn child and one who has already been born except size, location and feeding ability. At conception a child has 46 chromosomes, is male or female, has his/her own DNA, has it's own fingerprints, and in fact has every piece of genetic information it will EVER have. 

Abortions happen every 30 seconds in this country at a pace of over 3000 per DAY in the name of privacy or choice. 

Psalms 139:13-16

For you created my inmost being;

   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

   your works are wonderful,

   I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

   when I was made in the secret place,

   when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

 Your eyes saw my unformed body;

   all the days ordained for me were written in your book

   before one of them came to be. 


**I just wanted to add...please understand that if you are reading this post and have experienced an abortion, or someone close to you has...I am in no way standing in judgment of you OR them!!  I have not walked in your shoes, or traveled the road you have.  But I know that we ALL have done things in our lives that if given the opportunity, we would go back in time and do differently. 

There is forgiveness. and there is healing! God LOVES you!! You matter to Him! He paid a GREAT price in order to help you! He knows you and is willing to forgive you. All you have to do is ASK!

Isaiah 43:25

“I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake
      and will never think of them again.
