If you’re visiting for the first time and you don’t know my story (God’s Story), you may want to check it on the left-hand side bar under “My Secret Sin.” I was one of those human beings who needed a heart change. If you have had an abortion, I want you to know you will find no condemnation here, but you will find Truth wrapped in grace and mercy. God has brought you here because He doesn’t want you to hurt and feel ashamed anymore, but what He does want from you is to trust Him with your pain. Will you do that? I hope so. If you need to talk or need prayer, click on ‘profile’ for email.I can’t seem to get Father’s Day out of my mind, even though the official celebration is over. I keep thinking about the young man (I shared in post wk 14 and 15) who faced an unplanned pregnancy, then made the decision to support his girlfriend with the choice to have an abortion. Repeatedly, since yesterday, the question has been “What was he feelings on Father’s Day?”
My mind filled with thoughts, as I sat in church on Father’s Day of how many men were sitting in the pews with this “secret sin.” Questions kept popping up in my little brain like.... Do they feel the same lost as the woman who physical carried the child, then went through with the abortion? Do they think about the child's birth date? Maybe they too wonder if the child would have looked like them. Could they be thinking, what it would’ve sounded like to hear “Daddy, I love you.”
That's when I thought about young man, who would be anticipating the birth of his child, if he had only trusted God. I wanted to call him on the phone to see how he was doing. To ask those very questions that earlier in the day had been swimming around in my head. But I couldn’t… so I prayed.
Father God,
I know that nothing goes unseen; You see it all. You see the hearts of so many whom everyday chooses to hide from You. Lord, I wish that I could request, on behalf of this young man, for You to forgive him of this sin, but I can’t, only he can.
So, Lord, I pray for his heart to soften along with anyone else who has been touched by abortion, so they will know of the amazing Grace and Mercy that awaits them. I ask for this one heart to be changed… In Jesus Precious Name, Amen!
Here a video of one heart that has been changed who spoke out for the Silent No More

A powerful video and I too wonder how many men are affected by abortion- I still wonder if my ex who has 2 children thinks about ours. Thank you Tammy for your boldness and wisdom! You have been God's instrument in my journey-
Much Love,

Dropping by to let you know that you are in my prayers and may the Lord continue to strengthen you in this powerful ministry you are in. It is sad and I think that's true for most of us that we tend to hide things, forgetting that the Lord sees them all. I'm glad that our Father in heaven is always forgiving and that may He always direct these young men to choose to do the right thing. Blessings to you sister.
The other side of the coin... one that isn't given much thought when considering the abortion issue. Thank you for bringing it up and allowing my mind to go there... to give consideration to the men affected by the death of their children.
And yes, keep to the road, my friend. You are making a difference. Kingdom difference... one little seed at a time. I will endeavor to plant a few today.
