Dia de Las Madres

Today is a very special day.  It is Mother's Day.  No matter who you are or where you came from- everyone has a mother.  No matter what the situation may be between your mother and yourself, today is a day that you must be thankful for the great gift of life that she gave you. Unselfishly chosing to give you life, carrying you in her womb for 9 months, and going through a painful delivery to bring you into existence.  What a gift.  No matter if you were an accident, or a miracle there is a purpose for your life and your mom chose to have you.

As I was sitting in my car today, I was overcame with emotion.  My mind wondered how those women who have had abortions handle a day like today.  Today is probably a very hard day for those women.  It is a probably a day of great saddness, a day of questioning, and a day of what ifs. Imagining a life that could have been, imagining a life of possibilities.  I can't imagine what it must be like to go to Sunday brunch with your mom and see a mother walk in with a child that would be around the same age as the child that is aborted. 

So today, I am praying for all those women.  That God would show them a life of fulfillness in Him, forgiveness through Him, and the mercy that only Jesus gives.  Secondly, I am praying that God would use their voices to speak out against the atrocity that kills 3,700 babies daily in the US and that these women's voices would change our legislation and keep other women from suffering the way that these women have.

Last and finally, I must thank my mother for chosing life.  For giving birth to me and allowing me to live.

Joshua 6: Alive and well in El Paso- and my prayer for this Nation

I have been talking with my friend Gabriela in El Paso and the El Paso crew is doing a Wall of Jericho around the abortion mills in El Paso for the last week of 40 Days for Life.  Let us continue to pray that God will move in the hearts and lives of those who are going to these clinics for services.  Also let's continue to pray that our lawmakers will see the atrocity that is occuring in our Nation daily all for "women's health".

I believe that God can overturn Roe V. Wade in this nation because in 2 Chronicles 7:14 it says:

"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land."

My daily prayer:

Lord, I am praying for the restoration of our Nation that one day all, born and pre-born, will be entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Lord, I am praying for those who cannot have their voices heard.  In Your word it says (Proverbs 31:8):

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute."

Lord, I believe that this injustice can be overturned.  Use me in whatever way You seem fit.
