Divine Appointment

          Yesterday I got to speak with a sweet young lady who asked me some questions and made many of the same statements word for word that I said 10 years ago. It was amazing conversation and so glad that I was there. It was a divine appointment; I truly feel that God set it all up and I was truly blessed by it. I thought I would share some links to what I shared with her and others.

          The first link is pro life physicians addresses many of the so called reasons to have abortion legal, all that I stated as my reasons 10 years ago. (In case of rape, in case of the health of the mother...)  http://www.prolifephysicians.org/rarecases.htm

           The second link is Maafa 21 - the history and modern black genocide in the 21st Century and yes it is happening today. http://www.maafa21.com/ check out the full length film for free on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02t3Wqg-4Iw

            The third link is a documentary of university students who are asked questions about the Holocaust and Hitler and then comparing it with abortion. It is amazing how many people did not know what the Holocaust was or who Hitler was. One stating, "Didn't he have a little mustache?", but did not know much more about him. This short 33 min. long that will rock your world. http://180movie.com/

           The fourth link is two websites that women and others have gone to show support and encouragement to those who have had an abortion(s). http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/ http://www.surrenderingthesecret.com/#!prettyPhoto

            I challenge you to read, watch, and think about these questions and statements; it isn't just about your life but others. It's isn't just about a baby in the womb but the mother who is carrying their unborn child, who has to live with that decision for the rest of her life. So many women have told me, "I wish I would of known what I know now".

            I am so glad that someone who loved me enough, even though I was a staunch and angry pro-choicer, to kindly ask me questions, "Do you know the development of the baby in the womb?" "Do you know the different types procedures of the abortions and what time of development they are done at?" I did not know the answers to these questions; he kindly asked me, "Shouldn't you know what you are supporting before you support it or turn a blind eye to the issue?" I was amazed that me, who is always speaking about how we should be educated on our decisions and views; that I was not educated in my views. I took his challenge and it has changed my life. Now I challenge you to fully educate yourself, and truly think about what your supporting and why. For I truly believe that you will moved to not only change your own views, but be moved to help lovingly move others to educate themselves and change their lives.

Truth - Part One



Truth: (n)

something factual: the thing that corresponds to fact or reality
true quality: correspondence to fact or reality
true statement: a statement that corresponds to fact or reality
Synonyms: fact, certainty, reality, actuality, veracity, verity
See full definition • Encarta World English Dictionary

I have been studying this word and what it means for a quite a few of months now. Many questions have come along with this word. I don’t know if you have heard of the Truth Project but you should check it out. It has really challenged my thinking, my beliefs, and my life. What do I truly believe? Is it Truth? Is it evident in my life? After doing the Truth Project at Church, and taking a Philosophy class through school, I truly had to ask these questions and they are not easy questions. I believe they are more emotionally harder than logically; because we as people do not want to look at their lives to see if they believing in a lie(s). Wanting to be blindly ignorant rather than admit we are wrong. As the sad saying goes, “Ignorance is bliss”. Such pride we have!   

Whether someone calls themselves Christian, another religion or even atheist, we all believe in truth. Truth in that we exist and have a physical body, that there is gravity to hold on the earth… I am going to step forward and I will able to stay on the ground to walk. Now does this go along with the belief in God? Even though someone may say there is no God, or/and that Jesus isn’t who he says he is: he is the first and only man who ever lived or with live a sinless life, died and suffered for our sins, and was risen from the dead. Does their belief change the truth? Is it like they fairytale of the fairies that our belief in fairies keeps fairies alive; so our belief in God keeps Him alive? I think not my friends. We all are accountable to God whether we say we believe or not. Romans 1:18-32 shows that everyone knows the truth of God. In verse 18-1918: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19: because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.  Everyone knows that there is a God, and will be judged with this knowledge.  It is our pride that is the problem.  

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

We should ask ourselves do we believe in the Truth? The Way? The Light? The Word? JESUS?


And what do we mean by believe? This belief will be adressed in TRUTH : PART TWO

On the final note of TRUTH part one:
    “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
