Pro-Choice Is Not Freedom

I have not touched this blog for quite some time… in the midst of my absence, my father, who I've cared for for 14 consecutive years, passed away peacefully at our home August of 2010 followed with four back surgeries for my husband… it's been quite a ride.

Since then, I am happy to say that my family has happily relocated to South Florida this May of 2012. With all that has happened, I find myself visiting my blog at yet another election year… ha, isn't that what inspired this blog a little over 4 years ago… lol…

My views on things then remain the same today - I feel that this election is vital for our nation yet I am not sure if it will matter as things seem different.

Different how?

Well, I no longer am as concerned with Democratic vs Republican - we know 'the club' will choose our next President anyway but, I am convinced that we are in the biggest fight of good vs evil that has occurred and how we handle this 'fight' will determine the future of our nation and world. This evening my heart is heavy with what has always been a concern with me: abortion. But now we have 'gender abortion' to deal with as well…

As a woman, and a mom, I can't, for the life of me, understand how abortion could be freedom for any woman or, for that matter, how abortion could be a choice… Are we really that self absorbed? If a woman is given a choice, shouldn't the unborn child be given a choice? oh, I forgot, most don't believe the unborn is a child… Well, that perhaps is the biggest lie anyone has been told or fooled into believing and we have no right to terminate a pregnancy under any circumstances - that, my friends, is strictly 'a God thing'.

I believe that this election is crucial to the point that all God-fearing Christians stand firm in solidarity and do not vote 'luke-warm' or we will feel the wrath from our own decisions. I am witnessing too many Christians follow leaders who give empty promises willing to sacrifice core values.

This year get informed; get educated and do not rely on political gibberish to sway you - we are all being lied by our leaders and those lies will not lead to a better America, however, if we look above to He who we removed for our country, we will get the wisdom and guidance on what to do. The first thing on our agenda, in my viewpoint, is to get rid of all leaders who back abortion so we can get it straight with God… abortion is murder and nothing justifies eliminating the life of a child… God help us now and always!

America's Transformation From “God-Lessness” To “God-Fullness”

I am neither a prophet nor a pundit. I am a simple woman who jots down thoughts while living "this I call my life."

In eight days, President-elect Obama will be sworn into office as our 44th President of the United States and I’ve never been more concerned for our America than now.

Is this personal?

Maybe.

For starters, his administration stands for so many things that I am against beginning with the Freedom of Choice Act.

I don’t believe that under any circumstances does anyone have to right to terminate a pregnancy regardless of the circumstances.

Even in cases of rape?

Yes, even in cases of rape.

I speak as a woman who had conceived from being raped and still believes in life. It’s not our job to decide the fate of the unborn; it’s God’s job.

Is it too late for America to be healed?

I don’t think so but I believe America’s turmoil is a significant call for renewal and genuine repentance in our land. We, as Christ followers, need to earnestly seek God first and open our hearts up to the Holy Spirit so that our Nation can experience “the transformation from God-lessness to God-fullness.”

As Christ followers, we need to detach from our own needs and focus on the main message of humanity. Only when we accept its main message can we find true peace and all that we are asking Him for. In our modern world, I believe there is a fundamental mistake in asking for things instead of seeking God first.

Someone who is looking for things is not seeking God.

Jesus said, “Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and the rest will be given to you.” We cannot go into the depth of the Gospel if we do not seek this fundamental message.

Before God begins to take notice of our problems, we must first be concerned with the problem of God: what does God want of us.

The world, and our America, will not heal if it does not undergo a spiritual conversion. We, as Christ followers, must always walk the path of conversion or we will not progress in our spiritual lives and will never understand the power of the Resurrection.

We are all called to live life to its fullness and that only can occur with God. Remember when Peter said to Jesus, “Look, we have left everything and followed you and what do we receive?” And Jesus replied, “You will receive a hundred times more on earth and will be given eternal life.”

Beginning individually, if we start to live out the Gospel with love, we will soon discover that to live with the Lord is joy and, in this way we, will be able to bring the Gospel to others thus bringing about peace and healing to our land and to our world.
