Out of the Blue

I did some out-of-the-blue YouTube viewing last night produced by abortion survivors.  And today when I picked up my Journey, guess what it was about? Here’s a line from it:

that He is waiting to cleanse and heal the devastation of all poor choices, including abortion.” 
And the guided prayer was this:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Willingness to forgive the ugliest sins. Embrace those who are still haunted by the shame of abortion, and draw them to seek the healing that only You can provide.

I’ve known JESUS too long to think this is a coincidence.
He cares about this.
He cares that women are being demoralized.
He cares that babies are being murdered.
Even as He receives those precious little lives into His Arms when they are per-meditatively and brutally torn from the wombs of their mothers, so He desires to forgive, comfort and restore their mothers; and yes, the Physicians, too, who actually do these legalized murders.

Twenty-five to thirty years ago I had a calling to fight for the pre-born.  Sin side-tracked me.  When we lay a torch down, often another will pick it up. I’m so glad others picked up this one. But perhaps there is still a match for me to strike.

We cannot pray too much for the overturning of Roe v Wade.
We cannot go over-board with Godly love for women who have for whatever reason paid an abortion mill to snuffed out the lives of their pre-born babies.
No longer can we afford to give less of ourselves than JESUS commands, individually and collectively, to stem the tide of  the murder of children and the ruining of women; and not just through abortion but also with modern slave trade. (Part Two) [Be patient with these two videos – they are this generation.]

What does this mean for me? I don’t know.
What does this mean for you? I don’t know.

But we can ask ABBA.

Luke 11: 9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.
11 Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!

I would be so pleased if you would click HERE and view a couple relative YouTubes. And more can be found HERE. As well as Tim Tebow’s mother’s story.

Me Too! Really!

2:17! Where has the day gone?? And I still have a trip to the store to make.

Journey. Journey Magazine that is.  If you don’t have access to one and you can, I highly recommend them.  It was asking me questions today.  May I ask the same of you? And will you answer?

In what ways does media influence you?
What do you believe about yourself or others that is a direct result of marketing?

Journey went on to say renewal of the mind is a process of transformation. The media want to transform us from who we are to who ‘they’ desire us to be: People who buy their products so we can be beautiful, skinny, smarter, healthier, enlightened, and so on. And the news media what do they want us to be? Just like them – politically correct.  You know what? I’ve just about had it up to here with politically correct. But that is not where I want to go with this, not today . :)

So tell me. How many of those ‘to be-s’ do you wish to be?

Beautiful?
Me too!  I’ve always wanted to be beautiful, but have never believed (except for one day) I am.  Media helped convince me I am not. Shame on them! Shame on me for believing them. Here’s what I should believe.

Song of Solomon 6:4 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
4 “You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, As lovely as Jerusalem, As awesome as an army with banners.

via Song of Solomon 6:4 NASB – You are as beautiful as Tirzah my – Bible Gateway.

So should you.

Smarter?
Me too!  But let us get real here! Are we really going to allow this sin saturated, money-grubbing, reprobate-minded media to continue to ‘transform’ us or are we going to believe the CREATOR of THE UNIVERSE?! Really!

1 Corinthians 2:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.

Philippians 4:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

via Philippians 4:7 KJV – And the peace of God which passeth all – Bible Gateway.

And now for the one you have been expecting, the one you can quote and the one we better start acting on. Really!

Romans 12:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

So! How will you answer Journey’s questions?

Remember my So Be It post?
In case you missed it, click HERE.
As I was catching up on some reading in my Journey Magazine for last Friday, I read these words: “When you really care for someone you speak the truth, even when it’s difficult.”
Would y’all consider that a reminder and more confirmation?
I’m still praying for those who said yes for prayer in this regard.

It has been Monday all day! :)

I really do like the new lay out of The White Stone.  If you read by email, you don’t get the benefit of seeing the web page.  But you can! Just click the title of today’s post near the top in the body of your email and that will direct you to the website.  :)

Tonight’s  supper is vegetable beef soup — just some Thompson trivia!

Truthfully, I’m not in much of a writing mood today; but I’m trying to get computer time done before my beloved gets home – not that he minds but just thinking it’s not too late in this new year to practice some good habits.  The FlyLady would be proud! Yep! still hanging out with the FlyLady. Some days I fly better than others. But my sink’s shiny before I go to bed each night. :)

One more word and this one is from ABBA I am sure. It would do us well to meditate upon it this Tuesday or any day:

James 1:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

A ‘Carry-on’ for the Day.

Just a word from the Word for you to carry with you through this day.

Deuteronomy 4:31 For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.
via Deut 4 NASB – Israel Urged to Obey Gods Law Now O – Bible Gateway.

Deuteronomy 4:39 Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
40 So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time.”
via Deut 4 NASB – Israel Urged to Obey Gods Law Now O – Bible Gateway.

For the LORD your GOD is a compassionate God.
He will not fail you today.
Take these words to heart, write them on the walls of your mind, and they will grow for you a bountiful harvest of peace.

Prayer is breathing for the Christian.

Just As I Am,
Kathie
