Ammendment 26--Who are YOU Going to Listen to?

Ok...it's not even 10 am and I have a heavy burden and a large headache. I was trying to clean this neglected, messy house before Miss Rivers, princess of our hill,comes home from kindergarten. I realized, however, I could not continue my day as planned. I had this overwhelming nudge to do some research and share on my blog an issue dear to my heart. I am talking about the upcoming election on November 8 when we are allowed in the state of Mississippi to vote yes, or no, on the issue of the definition of a person.

I have been grieved as I have heard and read comments that didn't seem to line up with what I knew to be fact. I have learned through the years terminology goes a long way and when money is at stake, it is often used in selective ways. In this case...lies. Now, I am not trying to cause a great debate but I know my life's call is to speak on behalf of the unborn and countless women who have fallen prey to the lies of this terminology.

First of all, lets sort out truth from the lies. I was unaware just what was said in the vote no on 26 material so...I googled it and was certainly filled with much reading material. As I read, I could feel blood rush to my head and I really felt sick. The more I read, I just sat in disbelief . I knew these accusations were false but I kept reading. Some statements...I really hoped were true, but most, I knew for a fact were false. However, in order to be objective...I kept reading and taking notes as I went. I will admit, I found the accusations rather disturbing and hoped in my rebuttal I would prove them to be false.

Thankfully, when that part was over, I researched the websites for the vote yes. Well, honestly, the difference was literally like light and darkness. I began to check each statement made from the notes I had taken from the vote no sites. I was not at all surprised by my discoveries , however don't understand how , or why, exactly the Planned Parenthood and ACLU seem to convince so many that this is correct. I would like to share a few of my findings.


1. The pill will be banned--(all birth control)
THIS IS A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL! There is no truth to that and is ridiculous. However, the Morning After pill and RU486 (the abortion pill), will be banned I believe. This is administered AFTER intercourse so it would or could interfere with human life. For more actual information, feel free to dig for yourself. However, read both sides and better yet, read accounts from ladies that actually took the abortion pill and how if effected them.

2. No more In-Vitro Fertilization--
Again...not true! However it will be assuring the safety of the eggs that are not used. By law, they will not be allowed to be destroyed.

3. The mother's life will be sacrificed in order to save the child.
NOT TRUE! In the hard cases of this occurrence,when the baby is unviable and the mother's life is in jeopardy, the doctor will save the mother. This happens and I am certain each case the circumstances are unique. The is no way a law could be passed to determine a pat answer for each one and it simply is made up by the industries that stand to make millions each year by feeding us this junk.

4. Women that have a miscarriage will be investigated for murder.
Perhaps this is the most ridiculous yet. LIE LIE LIE!! This was not considered a crime before Roe vs Wade and certainly will not be after.


I know there are many other facts mentioned on both sides but these were ones most important to me personally. I have heard many testimonies of people that walked away from the abortion industry that say it is all about the money. Face it, millions of dollars are made each year in clinics all across our country. I heard a former doctor and owner of one clinic talk about the earlier they get a young girl..the better. For example, if someone age 14 came in to terminate her pregnancy , they could count on her at least having 2 to 3 more. Check it out for yourself. You can read both sides to realize it doesn't add up. Also, it is a known fact in the industry that many facts 'set in stone' were basically made up. Pro -Abortionist will deny it all day, but that doesn't make it less true. Many people don't even realize that Norma McCorvey, the lady in Roe VS Wade, did not even have an abortion and is a born again Christian and now is extremely vocal in the Pro Life arena. Wonder why someone that started all this could be so different now. She is worth the google....I suggest you study up on her.


Well, I certainly don't know every fact on either side of this issue, nor am I trying to be a radical. However, if standing in the gap for the life of an unborn baby is radical...oh well...I guess I am then. By the way, the word fetus simply means as an unborn baby . It has been used however to dehumanise a child once again. The most absurd statement I read was someone trying to assume they knew when God put a soul in a person. Now I have no idea if they were being sarcastic or what but clearly they did not know the true God. (Or His word) Psalms 139 states clearly that He created each of us in our mother's womb. There are many passages throughout the Bible but that happens to be my all time favorite. This person even suggested that God maybe didn't even put a soul in a child that He knew would be aborted. Ok...that's enough. Each of us are 'fearfully and wonderfully made"Ps 139:14 It goes on to say in that Psalm in v 16 that He saw are unformed substance. In His book were written all the days ordained for us. EVEN BEFORE WE EVEN WERE!

This is tender to me and amazingly too that this vote takes place in November. See, November is a very special month for me. I used to dread to see the month come around but because my past has been redeemed by the blood of Jesus...it is the most special to me now. I have a heart for the unborn because you see, I have two babies than never lived one day on this earth but I know live in heaven with Jesus Himself. On November 4,1984, I was a senior in high school. My boyfriend, now husband, was a freshman in college and we were broken up. At 8 weeks, I aborted our baby. I was told at the clinic during what they call "counseling"...that is was just a blob of tissue...not a baby. I was also given the pill. Yeah, right...found out it was the lowest dosage and of course I was counted as a shoe in to come back. Sure enough, Hank and I got back together and 3 months later I was pregnant again. This time..we were married and had a beautiful baby girl.(now 26 year old beautiful lady) I remember during the abortion, that I was awake during, begging them to stop. I was screaming and crying. This nurse in a very cold tone said, "Honey, this is nothing like labor... this will be over soon." Having our Kati I remembered that and although yes...IT HURT BADLY....I remember in my heart thinking...but this is life...not death....and I am bringing this baby home. There is so much more to this story but I know first hand about abortion. It is something talked about but not by the ones that have not been healed by the Word of God...by the Great Physician Himself. I could not even utter the word much less admit I had had one. I certainly knew even then, deep down, it was wrong. I was also not a Christian at the time. Believe me...saying you are and being one are very different. But even in the time apart from walking with the Lord, I knew if was wrong to take my child's life. I gave my life to Him at 19 years old in 1986 a year after Kati was born. I was forgiven for the abortion but healing came much much later. In 1987 we had our precious Marykelli and in 1994...we were expecting again. At 2 months, I went into labor and was rushed to the hospital. It was awful and I lost a ton of blood and looked like my liver, but it was the baby. I had a DNC but it was all too familiar. Of course I was asleep but the entire event was the same. The date was November 20 but still in November...10 years almost to the day. I realized the only difference in the babies was we wanted one desperately and didn't want the other.

The story has so much more to it but know that God used the two babies greatly in our live. I jokingly say they are joined at the hip . God used the miscarried baby to introduce us to our aborted baby. He healed a failing marriage, a woman that suffered greatly from post abortion syndrome, and brought our family close to Him with Jesus in the dead center. Hey...in May of 1996...He gave us the gift of our Walt. GOD IS SOOOOO GOOD!

Do my babies matter...do they have a soul?? Yes, they do. Although what Satan meant for evil...God will and is using for good. I pray because of my children born into heaven, lives will be spared on this earth. The hearts of women have suffered silently long enough....be careful as you vote. Choose wisely. Talk to God about it. Say you are a Christian...then listen to the Holy Spirit within you...plumb line it to His WORD.

God gave me this song during my healing. It has been recorded but always is sung in the form of a prayer. It has been re written and adjusted and even re named over the years but in closing...I am sharing the original version with you. God bless you all...God bless our children.


Child of the King

Lord, we come on our knees,
For our children, we have never seen,
We gave them to you, long ago,
Please forgive us, for now we know,
Pain, bitterness and grief,
Lord, it's your mercy we seek.

Lord, are they gathered all around,
You, as your watching o're us now,
Do they know their mommies love them so,
And we're sorry that we made them go,
And the lies that we believed,
Now we know, we had been deceived.

And they, live with The KING,
We know with You, they have everything,
Do they know, the tears that we've cried,
And we long to hold them by our side.

Lord, your amazing grace abounds,
In Your light, each of us have found,
A peace, that calls us to your throne,
To a love, like we've never known.
Lord, we can almost hear them say,
"I forgive you, Mommy, it's ok.."

"And I , live with The KING,
You know with Him, I have everything,
There's no need for tears, anymore...
You'll hold me when you see...our LORD."


Amen...and God bless

Prologue to my book--Michaels Heart

I have been quite the recluse it seems. One of my friends informed me if I wanted to have any friends left, I must finish this book. I noticed I had not written a blog since June....that is crazy! I will admit that this writing adventure has taken a chunk out of my life! The story seemed to take on a life all it's own. I intend on getting back into the normal groove of blogging because it's such therapy for me .Now that I am in the editing phase of the book...there is more freedom to think beyond the realms of my book.

The name of the book is "Michael's Heart" and ,of course, it's a love story. I personally think it shares a very unique view of unconditional love. The main character is Colbie Hunnington Gellar whose career is writing commercial jingles for local radio and television stations. The story unfolds throughout her life as Colbie finally discovers her Michael...the love of her life. She discovers this love in the most unique place I would like to add. I believe this story will capture your heart and imagination in a way that you never have even thought of.

I want to thank all who have encouraged me by reading my blog over the past year because you were the driving force that pushed me to write this book. It is fiction but truth is laced in now and then...especially during the first several chapters. I would like to share with you now the Prologue to this book. I hope you enjoy and it makes you want more.


Prologue


Colbie

I can’t remember my life when I didn’t hear the music. Within each note there lies a symphony and upon hearing it’s beauty … something deep inside my soul is unleashed. Certainly there are different pieces of music that affects me in a variety of ways of course. Thankfully, there are enough chord progressions in this world to match the many moods as one such as I. I feel the term ‘moody’ has been given quite a negative shadow cast on it over the years though. I have been labeled ‘moody’ more than once in my life, and I will admit that I am just that. However, I chose years ago to reclaim that term in a more positive light. I truly view my ‘moodiness’ as a gift that was placed inside me when I was created. It is almost like a brand new surprise each morning that I get to open and am never certain what that will be. The first time I realized that my feelings, or mood, could be affected by music came around the tender age of four. “Puff the Magic Dragon” was my very first favorite song, and I played the record over and over and over. I distinctly remember my black mama telling me to let my little blue record player rest because it was exhausted. Now I knew that was not possible but eventually, I would get my fill of the song and turn it off. I remember sitting on my Winnie the Pooh bedspread listening to that song and feeling sad as I heard the words sing of little Johnny Paper not coming to play with the dragon anymore. To this day, I haven’t a clue what that song actually means, but I know what I heard in my little girl heart….I heard sad. I could feel the dragon’s pain and wanted to cry every time. I know now that the words had something to do with it, but my soul still seriously responds to a minor chord and that song certainly had them. Well, just as I do now, I would finally get my music fix and move on to my next favorite song. Although at that age I had no idea what love really even was about, I did know something happened deep inside me whenever I listened to music. Deep inside my soul…. something was stirring and the mystery that surrounded it would follow me into adulthood. I relate it to when a person falls in love for the first time. I know that love is not a feeling, but I think it’s a really good possibility that it started out with one. You know---that ‘thing’ that drew you to that special someone in your life. Maybe not even the actual meeting or getting to know one another as much as was the quest for that person. The intensity that surrounds just the mere thought of the first encounter you will have with “The One”, or in my case ….“Him”. The deep longing… the ache…. the breathlessness at the thought of the love of your life .How well I remember the first time I felt the haunting, yet exciting, yearning deep inside my inner being as I thought of “Him”. It was something that kept me excited because I always believed there was one man in this world created just for me. This ache was so strong and many times it felt the same way as it did when I let myself get lost in my music. This is when the artist in me was born, I believe. With this passion, all these feelings would eventually find a voice and give birth to my songs, poems, and many other things. My biggest fear was that I would miss “Him” or worse…it would be too late when we did finally come face to face. I always felt I would recognize “Him” the instant our eyes met. It sounds like something along the lines of love at first sight, I suppose, but much deeper than that. I always felt he was looking for me too and would just know me when he saw me as well. In every one I dated, I was always wondering if behind their eyes might just be the love I had longed for. I know this sounds like a typical teen-aged girl in love with the idea of love, and it may be, however; the deep connection I began to realize between finding the love of my life and music became more and more evident as the years passed. I have never been able to find adequate words to describe the journey my heart made to discover the answers I had sought all my life. Until now, the words have remained silently tucked away inside me but the time has come when the silence can no longer remain. It is now the time that my voice, my heart, and my very soul must be heard. Finally…..the silence will be broken. Listen closely with your heart as this story unfolds and you too may hear the music.”.
