An abortion gone wrong story...the baby didn't DIE!

-






Can you imagine that?  Going to the abortion doctor to have your baby murdered, but it didn't die! Talk about mind-boggling!

There's one thing we must all remember, and that is, "God is the author and finisher of life."  I don't care what we plan or what we do, if God the giver of our life is not ready for us to die, we are not going to die and it is as plain and simple as that.

In mouthing those words I'm reminded of the story of Kristen.  I'm about to get off of the abortion story for a minute because I want to share very briefly the story of a girl who was 17 and fed up with her life.

What did Kristen do in the midst of her pain?  Oh well, she only went and laid her body over some train tracks for a train to run over her. Did the train run over her?  It did indeed.  Was she killed?  Nope.

God wasn't ready for her to die. I will put a link at the end of this post for you to get her book and find out more about her.  I love her testimony!

Okay, now, getting back to the abortion gone wrong story... the video in this post is told from the mouth of the baby who didn't die. I hope you are moved enough by these two testimonies to thank God for your life today.  However bad or good you feel that it is, thank Him.

I know I do. If you were to ask me how things were going in my life, if I surveyed exactly what I see... oh Lord I would be fit for pill popping, would probably be considered as a candidate for bipolar and no telling what else.  I've come to the conclusion that my life is my life, and it is a good life in spite of.  It is certainly a gift from God and I see that, sense that and know that.

One thing I know now.  I know this like I know my name and I accept it finally.  I know that God is love and that God loves me.  And that come what may... I am going to be alright. Period.


So if you're hating on your life right now.  I say, "Stop it!"  Appreciate where you are, who you are, what you are and what you have.  Period.  Love you and your life and learn to make the best of where you are, who you are, and what you have!

Glorify God in your life, right now, just the way it is.

The picture above of the young girl is Kristen and here's the link to her book: Life in spite of me.  Kristen's ministry Reaching You

These stories are more proof that anything if given to God can become our gateway to joy!  Sometimes the gateway to our joy is what we consider the ugly.  Just look at the cross.

Who would have conceived that so much love and the very essences of life itself would come through the horrific pain, suffering, anguish and ugliness as the cross?  But life did come from such pain and so did love  my friend.  Life for all of us came from the suffering, pain and shame that Jesus experienced from the death and humiliation of dying on the cross.

That is why we can't always measure the goodness of our life by our feelings or the ugliness that God allows us to experience because many of joys came through the gateway of pain.


For those of you who have been following me for a while, if you're saying, "She's talked about them before."  You are right I have.  I find these stories worth repeating.  God bless.

 FYI: ' Walter & Valerie Shepard  As many of you know, I love Elisabeth Elliot.  It is through Elisabeth Elliot, my mentor, that I came to accept and learned how to accept God's will for my life.  Last year, Valerie, Elisabeth and Jim Elliot's daughter honored me by letting me interview her.  She was vague because she has plans on sharing her family story in some manner in the near future, but knowing how I felt about her mother and how much this interview would mean to so many of you she spoke with me via email.   How does your family celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas? We had company often for Thanksgiving, and we always had a " Pilgrim reading " and saying what we each were thankful for around the table. For Christmas we were not often inviting people for dinner because our older children wanted " just family ". We always opened stockings around 7-8 AM, had a Breakfast of baked apples, and either a sweet bread or their favorite "s...

Many of you have inquired about injuries that Lars Gren and his wife Elisabeth Elliot Gren sustained in their car accident.  As of June 14, 2012: Lars is in Ma., staying with friends since he is not able to drive til Aug. per Valerie.  He fractured a c-2 in his neck and had surgery for a screw to be fused to the bone, and is not getting as well, as quickly as he'd liked. Lars and Valerie had to make the decision to put Elisabeth in a facility because Val could no longer care for her. Elisabeth's stay in the facility will be brief, as Val plans on taking her back to Ma, once she returns from the UK {Val is helping her daughter Elisabeth with her 4th baby}. For those of you who would like to send Elisabeth well wishes, I have her mailing address, just e-mail me and I will give it to you. Many have asked if you could download the picture of E.E & Val.  I'm afraid that you can't.  I really do appreciate you asking before taking the liberty to do s...

I n January 1956 the world was shocked when learning that five American missionaries had been speared to death in the Equardorian jungles by the Auca Indians who were reported, at that time, to be the most savage tribe on earth.  "What seemed to all the world like a tragic ending of the missionaries' dream to reach this isolated tribe was only the first chapter of one of the most breathtaking missionary stories of the twentieth century" In the video below the wives of the five men speak of their husbands. Below are some pictures of Jim & Elisabeth Elliot's daughter Valerie Elliot Shepard and her family.  For any of you who have Elisabeth's book The Savage My Kinsman , she's the little blond haired darling who is all grown up now with not only children of her own, but grandchildren too.  Valerie gave me access to these pictures to share about a year and a half-ago now.  I had them up on one of my blogs, but took them down because folks were dow...
