Last week was incredible. I had the opportunity, actually three opportunities, to share God’s amazing grace. When giving my testimony, it’s bittersweet when I think of my child, Christian, who lost his life through abortion. My choice stopped his heartbeat. The unplanned pregnancy had blocked his precious face. My disobedience pushed the truth of God far from my heart. Yet, God didn’t give up on me. He sent His words to change my heart and someone’s testimony to see His unfailing love.
That’s why I do what I do, not for me, but for someone who might be sitting out in the audience, thinking they are the only one with this secret sin.
As I scan the faces that are staring back at me, my eyes meet hers and she knows this message is finding a place in her heart, which she has guarded for many years. It’s a message of forgiveness. Its time that she too experiences the freedom that comes from trusting God and the freedom to wonder if her baby would have had…her eyes.
Revelation 12:11LORD,
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb
and by their testimony.
And they did not love their lives so much
that they were afraid to die.
You are Worthy of all Praise and Honor. So, we lifted our eyes and we lift our hands to praise You. It seems like this a battle to save the lives of the unborn is becoming harder and harder. We praying for great favor to those who will stand in the gap for the unborn. There were those who once lost but are now living in Your Truth, we ask that they would have the courage to give their testimony on how Great You are! Give us wise and strength to oppose the enemy.
Jesus, You alone give hope to hopeless. Oh Lord, draw nearer to the women who are contemplating an abortion and restore those who have been affected by an abortion(s). In Jesus Mighty Name...Amen!

Praising God that you had so many opportunities this week to share the truth and make a difference!
Still praying...
(p.s. I think you have a typo in the last paragraph of your prayer. Should it say "Lord, draw near (or nearer)" instead of "Lord, draw never"? Just wanted to give you a heads up...)
Thank you for sharing that video... wow! So touching... Praying.

To our God be all the glory for using your life and your story (and mine with my little Precious and your little Christian) to touch the lives of others....your message brings me to tears and I'm thankful of the GOD of MERCY we all belong to.
I love you friend.
That is an incredibly powerful video. It really brings home the message. Praying with you my dear friend. I'm so glad God introduced us.
When I listened to the song-I found myself still grieving for my daughter Donna-I'm sure she would have been blue-eyed and blonde-
I know I'm repeating myself, but you speak for me and have such insight! Once again thank you for sharing and your ministry to us.
Much Love and Birthday Greetings!!
This song beautifully puts voice to the questions of the heart for the one who has made the decision to abort. Beautiful and grace-filled. Thank you for sharing it with me today.

Your message is a powerful one!

This song is just beautiful Tammy, and it reminds me again to keep you in prayer... this work is so important, and your voice is being heard by so many who need to see abortion from the other side. Keep going, even on the days when it challenges and stretches your own faith. These are His babies. He is using your voice.
Love you, Happy Mothers Day!
