be lovely

Maaaajor heartbreak today for those choosing death instead of life.

Saw a photo this morning on Facebook asking for prayer of a young woman choosing to abort her twins.  That God would pierce her heart.  Seeing that made me so heartbroken.  Especially when I think about how many parents are waiting to adopt twins.  Instead, a doctor is going to pull those babies out and leave them to die.  Completely devastated and heartbroken.  The world we live in is sick.

And then I think about how it would be if that was what Trey's birthmother had chosen....death instead of life.  And how hard that would be today...whether I had known about him or not.  Whether I knew it was him or not.  To think about how horrible it would be to think that that sweet baby could have had a chance.  He could have lived his entire life.  And (thank you Jesus!) that was what she chose.  But others didn't.  And will continue to choose death.

"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." (1 Peter 2:9)

Heartbroken today for those that choose death instead of life.  Heartbroken for that sweet mother whose twins will be gone this afternoon.  Heartbroken that she thinks this is her only choice.  God is the creator of all life.  God chose those sweet babies to be inside of her today.  God did.  And there's a plan.  Every life is beautiful.  

(read this post.  Love their words: "We pray that Sam’s story is to each of you, a vivid reminder that your prayers for LIFE count. Your prayers matter. I hope that one day each of you who stood in intercession for LIFE will get to meet this one precious LIFE that was spared.")
