Abortion




Month 1
Mommy, I am only 8 inches long, but I
have all my organs. I love the sound
of your voice. Every time I hear it, I
wave my arms and legs. The sound of
your heart beat is my favorite lullaby.

Month 2
Mommy, today I learned how to suck my
thumb. If you could see me, you could
definitely tell that I am a baby. I'm
not big enough to survive outside my
home though. It is so nice and warm in
here.

Month 3
You know what Mommy, I'm a girl!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad. It makes me sad too,
and I cry with you,
even though you can't hear me.

Month 4
Mommy, my hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine, but I will
have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my
time exercising. I can turn my head
and curl my fingers and toes, and
stretch my arms and legs. I am
becoming quite good at it too.

Month 5
You went to the doctor today. Mommy,
he lied to you. He said that I'm not a
baby. I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?

Month 6
I can hear that doctor again. I don't
like him. He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it?
It burns! Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it! Mommy!!
HELP me!!

Month 7
Mommy, I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.

Why didn't you want me, Mommy?

Shine for you....






The entire week has been a string of challenges, but as each day in the last week is recollected upon, its clear that each challenge was surmounted,by leaning on His strength. All glory belongs to Him and Him alone.

Truly, i am in awe. For the second time - i am alive because of a miracle, by His grace upon my life.


Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you

One thing I know
Is that you've changed my life
I give you my all
All you are is good
Give you my heart
God it's only you I seek
Give you my praise
'Cause I believe in you

Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you, O God

All that I know
Is that you've changed my life
I give you my all
And all you are is good
Carry the lost
Make my prayer in this life real
Carry my cross
Hold on 'til I see you

Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you, O God

And I want to live
I want to love you more
I want to be used
Father in all of the world

May your word be heard
May it stay on my lips
To live what I speak
Until your kingdom come

Look across the world
And let us shine for you
And let us shine for you
Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord

The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you
Look across the world
And let us shine for you, Lord
The whole world is yours
And I want to live for you
And I want to live for you
And I want to live for you

yesterday...today...tomorrow




I’m having a ‘moment’. Not just any moment – but one of those moments where your feeling so inspired you can literally feel it flowing within your veins…..with every heartbeat it slowly unveils leaving perfect, crystal clear clarity. I love moments like these…..i could loose myself for hours in such inspirations writing poem after poem or sometimes, just sometimes maybe even a prose or two.

I know I’m not alone when I say that there’s been much thought and planning for the future lately. There’s also been a lot of analyzing of the past – the last 9 months in particular. There’s been anxiety over mistakes that were made in these last months and further anxiety over its potential impact on the future…

That’s probably why this particular excerpt from Stormie Omaritan’s Just Enough Light for the Step I’m on ( I know I quote this book a lot – I call it my dinner book. Dinner is the one time I make sure its just me with a good book and some simple food.) was appreciate ever so dearly. I’ve read this book over several times over, somehow each time something new – always stands out.

I know I’m not going to be the only one to appreciate the below:

“Don’t worry about seeing or understanding what the future holds. God wants you to trust Him as he leads you, even though you can’t see clearly ahead. And don’t be overly concerned about fully comprehending the past. Only He knows the whole truth about it anyway. You have Him. He is your light. And that’s all that matters.”

That served as a lil reminder to me….


Consuming Fire (by Hillsongs) is playing in the background at the moment…and somehow more that ever before this song seems to strumming at my heartstrings…


There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.

Fill us anew we pray,
Fill us anew we pray.

(Chorus)
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,

Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.

Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.

Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
A passion for Your Name.


Till my next post, God bless !

where the love last forever

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever
Yours I'll stand.

In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.

So I throw my life upon all You are,
Cause I know You gave it all for me,
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.

And forever I will sing,
Lord forever I will sing,
Of how You gave
Your life away,
Just to save me,
Lord You saved me.
With You, where the love lasts forever.

Kiss of Heaven

I'm walking a new walk
I'll never be the same again
Dancing a new dance in
Your Holy Spirit Rain
Your breath of life has overwhelmed me
and set my spirit free
I'm living a new life,underneath Your morning star
Running a new race,in the shadow of Your love
Your love is immeasurable,too deep to comprehend

My Jesus,dream-maker
My Jesus, live-giver
I'm living under the Kiss of Heaven,
and I'll never ever be the same again

I'm singing a new song in the presence of The King
Giving You my heart
That is all that I can bring
You lit a fire inside of me
That I thought would never burn again
I thank You,my Father, for all You've done
And all You're going to do
My past behind me and You before me
I press on for more
Im living in the embrace of Heaven
And I'll never ever be the same again
