I'm typing this from hotel room in Lousiville, Kentucky. We are here for the Southern Baptist Convention.
This morning we went to a church that we knew nothing about. When we arrived at the church this morning, we found out that Dr. Frank Page was their guest speaker. Dr. Page is the former President of the SBC and is now on the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. During his sermon, Dr. Page mentioned this committee and the fact that he never dreamed he would have this kind of opportunity. He also made this statement, (it's not an exact quote but it's pretty close),
"I know that I am the 'right-wing fundamentalist' on this committee but I will unashamedly stand and be voice for the Pro-Life movement and the unborn child."
To which the congregation gave resounding applause and lots of AMENS, myself included.

After the service, Steven and I got to meet Dr. Page and share with him that we live in Millen, he used to pastor in Augusta so he was very familiar with Millen. I then shared with him that I am part of a group of bloggers whose purpose to pray and ask God to change President Obama's heart on abortion. Dr. Page was so encouraged and asked us to keep praying. He said that he has a very good relationship with President Obama but that it gets "pretty tense" when it comes to the issue of abortion.

I was so excited about this. It's so easy to get discouraged when you're praying and not seeing any change. But God really used this to encourage me and to renew my passion about praying for our President.

So my challenge to you is, as we pray for our President, lets lift up Dr. Page as well. God has placed him in a key position for a reason.

Love y'all dearly!

If you're like me, you've been wondering about the results of Red Envelope Day. Here is a link to an article to do some praising over!

The White House mail office has confirmed it received a "deluge" of as many as 2.25 million red envelopes symbolizing the empty promise of lives snuffed out in abortion in a massive campaign that was larger than most White House mailing movements in the last 35 years.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.John 3:16

****************************************************************

On another note, I went for my final check up today. Everything looks great, Asher is still in the proper position, thank you Jesus! When my Dr. examined me, she said that she could have easily broken my water, so she didn't do a full exam because she really wants me to hold out until the 16th. But she also said that I could go at any time. Personally, I'm hoping for anytime before the 16th! But God's timing will be perfect!

The kids are on spring break this week, so I probably won't post again for a while unless......

well, you know!

Love y'all!

Did you know this?

Norma McCorvey - "Jane Roe" - a woman whose personal quest for a legal abortion set into motion the deaths of over 50 million U.S. babies, had an encounter with God that changed her heart forever. She's now able to use her incredible history and testimony to speak for LIFE. Why? Because she's been forgiven, changed...healed.

Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom." Matthew 18:2-4 MSG

Love Y'all,

Our focus in prayer today is not only praying for our President but also for the men who affected by abortion.

OUR SCRIPTURE FOCUS:

3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.

5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5

Here is today's prayer focus as we pray for President Obama and Michelle.

Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death.
Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.
Proverbs 24:11-12 NLT
