Sometimes I look around and wonder how I got here. How is it that a girl who sings a little and decided to talk about her abortions became surrounded by people she’s looked up to and admired because of their passion for Jesus and their bold stance for LIFE? This week I found myself praying [...]
Planned Parenthood has now said that the new proposed Virginia Ultrasound Law is akin to rape. I’m sorry, WHAT? I am so upset by this. I just want to CRY. A medical procedure that is done by a nurse in a clinic is the same thing as what that man did to me in a [...]
The March for Life was so emotional for me this year, and I’ve struggled for two weeks to write this blog. I try to be as transparent as I can in my writings in hopes that it will help others heal. So, I pray that as you read, you will hear and feel the constant [...]
First of all, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to those of you who emailed me and messaged me to tell me about your pro-life ministry or about your church that has devoted itself to being a presence at the nearest abortion clinic. Many of you have been in the pro-life movement for [...]
This morning I returned to the clinic where I had my abortions 12 years ago to pray for and plead with Mom’s not to make the decision I made so many years ago. As I pulled into a parking spot, I sat in the car for a minute and closed my eyes. I wanted to [...]
I’ve needed to write a blog for a while, but I just haven’t had much to say. That in itself says a lot about the season I am in. 2011 is over. Let’s all breathe a sigh of relief! Among the chaos, though, God has done something in my heart. I’m a little calmer. I [...]
Would you like to know the wonder of Twitter? Well, here’s a great example… On Friday morning, I tweeted, “thinking of driving to Alabama to see @OctoberBabyFilm” Within a few minutes I was on the phone with Dan Atchison, the film’s producer, and he invited us to the premier that night in Birmingham with the [...]
I’ve been putting off getting my hair done for a while because it’s hard for me to rationalize spending the money AND spending 2 hours being still. (I know, first world problem!) ☺ But, alas, my roots were quite blond so I scheduled an appointment for today. I’ve been battling the blues for a few [...]
My heart hurts today. Nothing necessarily bad has happened…so maybe it’s silly. It seems everyone I know is having babies. And I want to rejoice. I want to hold their babies and tell my friends how awesome motherhood is and what a blessing my kids are. But all I can think is that 2 of [...]
Since I’m leaving town for a few days, Matt and I decided to go have lunch today, just the two of us. We enjoy each other so much. His patience with me is nothing but heroic. I love that man. Anyway, we got to the restaurant, walked in, and were seated in a booth adjacent [...]
