Day 1

Ok I will try to make this as short as possible and not ramble too much. Sunday at church the message was about chasing your lions. Stepping through the fear to achieve your greatest potential. Going after something that you are passionate about. The message focused on the action of Benaiah in 2 Samuel 23:20, “He…went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.” His attack on the fierce feline was not a defensive move, not a necessary protective act. He took the offensive by going into the crater where the vicious animal was trapped and confronting it. His courage is unmistakable. Craig pointed out that often real faith requires actually going after our lions, those God breathed dreams that keep us up at night or cause our hearts to flutter when they pass through our thoughts. Right away God put on my hear abortion. Ever since I can remember I've had a pro-life passion, but it really showed itself in college when my roommate's friend got an abortion, and again when working a close friend that I worked with was thisclose to getting an abortion, made it all the way to the clinic, God showed up in a big way, and to this day she will tell you that her little boy is the best thing that has ever happened to her. I digress, so God has put this on my heart, to do SOMETHING that deals with stopping abortions. I'm not sure what that looks like, I have no idea what outlets are even available. No idea. What I do know is that the thought of doing anything like this hurts, a lot. I cried in church when God put this on my heart, I cried telling David about this yesterday, and I'm crying just typing this out. I'm not the most optimistic person, so I'm afraid that I will focus on the ones lost vs. the ones saved. I'm afraid this will change me, consume me. Back to the reason I'm writing: I need help. I'm trying to figure out what'sout there for me to do. What CAN Christians do to stop abortions fromhappening? Any ideas? **SLIGHT UPDATE-I've emailed a few friends who have friends in similar line of work and they directed me to some great websites. Both ladies suggested I get in contact with the local Crisis Pregnancy Center and possibly do some volunteer work. I was on the website last night and the contact name is Michelle Bowers. This name sounds so familiar to me...anyone know this lady? Please pray that God would show me exact where He wants me. Also check this out and sign the petition: http://www.fightfoca.com/
