Yesterday marked the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling. I believe January 22, 1973 was the day when our great country lost favor in God's eyes, and I don't believe we will be a blessed nation until that ruling is overturned. When it is legal to kill a country's most innocent & defenseless citizens that country has no hope. I have never had an abortion, nor have I walked that path with a friend, but I do have friends who have experienced the pain, emotionally & physically, of abortions performed years ago. However, they have been redeemed by the grace of God and now use their lives, their experiences to help other women who have been through the trauma of abortion or those who are contemplating that decision.
Today the annual March For Life was held at our Government Center at noon. I have made it a point to be a participant in this event every year since God placed this issue on my heart. I started attending the March way back when Miss M was still in a stroller, and now she accompanies me & walks with me. Today is the fourth day in a row of rain for area. I'll be honest with you, I had an internal struggle about going to the March today. It was raining cats & dogs, and I just didn't want to get out in it. In the end, though, I couldn't justify NOT going. What kind of example would I be setting for my daughter by not wanting to be bothered with it? Is my devotion to this "fight" so weak that I'm going to let rain stop me from going? No, it's not. We ended up getting a great parking spot and had a great big umbrella to keep us dry as we walked into the Government Center. We heard a wonderul testimony of a woman who chose abortion as a teenage, & we both were blessed by having attended. The walk downtown was cancelled because of the weather, but I would've walked anyway...rain & all.
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. Psalm 139 13-16.
Each of us is fearfully and wonderfully made. God's works are wonderful! His eyes saw our unformed bodies. All of our days were written before one of them came to be.
