Changed Attitude

As recently as five years ago, I had kind of a flippant attitude about abortion. I didn't really care one way or the other about it. When people would ask me about my feelings on the subject my answer would always be "it's the woman's body. She can do what she wants with it." If she wanted to abort the baby or give birth I really didn't care. Did not affect me in anyway. I could have not been more wrong on this.

About five months after my wife and I started dating, the church we atteneded had a religious confrence there. It was called the Eagles Wings Confrence. It went from Thursday night all the way through to Sunday's service. We both worked during the day, so we decided to attend the Thursday night service. The special speaker that night was Lou Engle. He stepped up to the microphone and changed my life forever!

He told us that he had this whole sermon layed out ready to go and then God changed his plans. He was told that he was going to speak on abortion instead. I thought "great, here we go again. Another politcal agenda." Could not be any further from the truth. He spoke from his heart and was very passionate about the message. He made me look at abortion in a very different way. I saw a baby in a mothers womb much differently now. He made me realize that a fetus was a real live person. Growing and breathing, you know 'ALIVE'. WOW. That was powerful. My attitude changed in a moment of time.

I now champion against abortions. I am 100% for life. My wife and I attend banquets and support a local center for this exact cause. I can not believe the way that I used to think about this. Almost unfathamable. Then I read in the Bible how Jesus knew us before we were even born.
Psalm 139: ¹³ You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Praise God for our children. They are a gift from Him! I pray that the woman out there who are thinking about doing this to their child, well get the correct and true information. I pray that they choose LIFE!!
