Apr. 3, 2009 - Saving Lives - One Baby at a Time
40 Days for Life has been extremely successful. It's day 38 and 325 babies have been saved. So many women have changed their minds and decided to keep their precious gifts from God instead of destroying them. Our Heavenly Father must be dancing for joy. There are 2 more days. Sunday is the last day. Teams in some cities are going to continue longer. Please lift up the volunteers that are finishing out these 40 days and the ones who are going to keep on praying in front of the clinics. It's working! Let's pray for strength and wisdom and revelation knowledge to pour through the volunteers to the women who think they really have no choice.
Pray for these women to see the Truth that the Giver of Life will give each of them the ability to take care of her baby. Pray that each woman will have the courage to stand up to the ones who are pressuring her and to society's low standards and expectations. That she will bring that baby that God gave her into this world and into her arms and her heart to enrich her life in a way that she never dreamed possible. Pray that each woman will value and love her baby from the moment of conception.
For anyone facing this situation, I have a word for you. We don't know what God may do. Things may look impossible. It may look like another child will just be too much. Maybe circumstances are really bad, and you feel all alone. But God will never leave you nor forsake you. You are never alone. God is always there for you. I know what people say, but they're wrong. Children are not expensive. They are a gift from God. God supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory. He gives us these gifts and He provides for their care. I see so many people treating their pets like people these days. If they can afford to pamper their pets like that, why can't they afford to have more children. If God only gave them a few children, that's one thing. But to intentionally cut off your ability to produce children because you don't think you can afford them, or to destroy a life that has been planted in your womb by our Creator in the name of being a responsible global citizen or wanting more stuff for your existing children or whatever reason you could have for doing such a thing is unconscionable.
We need to ask our Creator what His will is in these matters. Creating people is His business, not ours. He's the only One Who can do it. I can't decide to have a child and make it happen any more than I can decide I need another arm and just grow another one. I put that whole area in His hands long ago. I trust Him to give me the children I am supposed to have, the people that are supposed to be in my family that will complete our family and make us who we're supposed to be. How could I reject a gift that God wants to give to me?
I didn't know that He would give me 10 children when I committed my womb to Him. He has expanded my heart since the time I had 3 children. Maybe I couldn't have handled 10 children back then. But obviously, I can now. A lot of things have changed in that time. My husband has been encountered by the Lord and shown that he needs to help me a lot since we have so many children and we always have at least one baby, usually two at a time. The older kids have grown up and become very helpful and capable of doing most of the housekeeping and some of the baby and child care. I have changed immensely in ways that I'm probably not even aware of. I feel totally and completely blessed. I don't feel any more stressed than anybody else I know. I believe I feel less stressed than most, but I don't get out much, so I can't say that for sure! 
I know that we are a happy family that lives our lives together. We know each other and love each other, and we're discipling each other. Young and old have relationships with God and are encouraged to share what the Lord is saying to them. We pray together. We pray for each other, and we get healed. We talk about conflicts and pray together about them, and God gives us resolution.
I know I made the right decision when I decided to let Him have His way in our reproductive life. My husband has been in agreement with me, though at times the money has been a concern for him. He believes that we can trust God to take care of us when we honor and obey Him. So he prays and gives this area to the Lord and opens his heart to each little child that God blesses us with. We make more money now and live in a nicer home than we ever have before. God is taking us from glory to glory. You don't know today what God has planned for you tomorrow. But you can be sure it's good. Because He is good.
I pray that each woman who considers abortion can find someone who will tell her this. God will take care of you for the sake of your children. Draw near to the One who can help you. Don't turn from Him and reject the gift that He is offering you.

Mar. 11, 2009 - Update on 40 Days for Life
The total lives saved so far is up to 99!!!
I am very pro-life. My family size is my pro-life statement. I am so glad that people are standing up for the unborn babies. Even as plans are being made by our government leaders to make abortion more accessible and to use our tax dollars to fund it, it seems that people on the street are showing that they know that abortion is bad news for everyone. Please go to http://40daysforlife.com and see the reports that are coming in. It looks to me like God is changing the hearts and minds of Americans just like we have been praying that He would.

Mar. 3, 2009 - 39 Babies Saved So Far
40 Days for Life is making an impact and making the news. In many different cities in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Northern Ireland, groups of people are gathering in front of abortion clinics and praying for a change in abortion laws. They're holding prayer vigils, not protesting. They're talking with people who want to talk to them, but the main objective is to pray.
An amazing part of this is that they are getting favorable coverage from the media. Newspapers and TV stations have run stories that show this event in a positive light. One newspaper reported about a woman who changed her mind about getting an abortion while the reporter was there interviewing one of the counselors. The reporter then interviewed the woman who changed her mind, and the paper actually ran the story. This is a big change from the way the media has handled pro-life coverage in the past! This is so exciting!
For more information about this event go to 40daysforlife.com
You can see updates on how many lives have been saved so far during this campaign at the top right corner of their home page.

This video is powerful. The message comes through loud and clear. May God turn the hearts of the fathers to the children through media and through the love of His people.
