The month of November is well known as Thankfulness month as we celebrate Thanksgiving, but did you know it is also Adoption Awareness Month? And what a way we have kicked the month off!! We started November with the blessing of a young lady who chose life for her child, also chose to place her child in a two parent Christian home.
I can’t help but to think of how that relates to my relationship with Jesus. Read the rest of this entry »
Recently I was invited to celebrate with a family the 1st birthday of one of their little boys. They have adopted twice from our agency. I came to know the family with the first adoption and grew to love them, but over the years, God brought our families closer together and developed a friendship that is very dear to my heart.
The birthday celebration was underway and children running all over the place as if they were in a world created just for them. Read the rest of this entry »
PRAISING THE LORD FOR……
THE MIRACLE OF ADOPTION
Yesterday, July 6, 2011 marked the 7th year anniversary since ABBA Adoption, LLC officially became an organization. As you can imagine, it is not only exciting to celebrate this day as an establishment; I am at complete awe at all that God has used ABBA for thus far. Over the last months and specifically last few weeks and days, I have been reflecting on these last seven years having been brought to mind the many journeys that God has taken us on. They have not always been easy, but they have brought much joy and fulfillment in knowing that we continuously just trust in the Lord, even when we don’t understand.
I first remember when I sat across from the AT&T rep that was helping me with our ad campaign for the yellow pages. Of course, I wanted my scripture (Romans 8:15) listed in the ads. I was instructed that having my scripture in our ad might deter some people who otherwise would call and maybe it was a little too narrow for the people we were trying to reach. I sat in amazement that this was the council I was getting, especially when I have been very clear about our vision and the call that God was giving. My response was simple; Read the rest of this entry »

And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too. I will demand the accounting for the life of his fellow man. Whoever sheds the blood of man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man. Genesis 9:5-6
40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:
With God’s help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion throughout America.
As a woman who has been affected by the devastation of abortion, I am thrilled to know there is a pioneering movement in the Christian community to come together and turn our hearts to God to end abortion. What a work we could see God do in our country when we get on our knees before a holy God and repent for being complacent while the travesty of abortion has come like a thief to destroy and devour the very souls that cry out in crisis and ends the life of an innocent child.

The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. Then I called upon the name of the Lord: “O Lord, save me!” ………Psalm 116:3-4
Recently, I had the wonderful privilege of working with a woman the same age as myself who found herself in a crisis pregnancy. I remember the call that came in as if it were just yesterday. The voice on the other end was one stricken with sorrow, fear, anguish and confusion about what the future held. As we talked, I was glad to hear that she was calling me from a local pregnancy resource center and had already started the process of choosing life for her baby.
I remember being in a constant state of prayer throughout our time of speaking with one another; her phone kept going dead as she was on her cell phone, but God was so good to keep us connected throughout the day and soon allowed us to meet. As I began working with her on a plan for this child, I soon came to the understanding that this was a divine appointment and God had something big planned for her life.
Today marked a very important time in my life. For several years I along with many of my pro-life friends have been in prayer for a memorial to be placed at our state Capitol . This memorial would be a place where men and women of this state could go and give honor to their child that was lost due to the effects of abortion, miscarriage, still birth and neonatal/infant death. The presentation was given today to the Arts and Grounds Commission. I ask that you keep this cause in your prayers as this has the potential to help so many men and women of our great state as they grieve their loss.
Look for more information to come on this issue in the months ahead. And if you are someone who has lost a child and need help, we would love the opportunity to talk with you and point you in the direction for healing.
