If you haven't read the beginning of my son, Dylan's birth story or my decision to follow Christ, please do so.
If you cannot tell, abortion is something that I feel a passion AGAINST! My whole adult life (from as young as 19 yo) has been in complete refute of abortion.
I cannot tell you how many times I heard and I am still hearing that I should have had an abortion. How can you even stand to look at him? Isn't he just a reminder? Doesn't it hurt?
My answers answered with questions:
- How can I not look at him? He is beautiful. He is part of me and in my opinion, his other half is the Lord's. How could he not be? He is amazing. He is all I yearn to be. He has changed lives.
- How could I not be glad that he is a reminder? He is NOT a reminder of being violated but a reminder of my transformation into a Christ-follower, mother, wife and friend. Dylan saved my life. God used him in a way that no one else could. He is a reminder that God is always good and faithful even when we don't understand. He is a reminder that God shows love and mercy in a physical form. He is a wonderful reminder...
- Doesn't it hurt? Somedays... but not like you'd think. I don't hurt about what happend that much anymore, I hurt for those who made the choice to terminate pregnancy. I yearn to hold them and pray with them. I know they hurt also... I know they hurt more.
Today I ask you... Would you stand for what you believed in even if it meant losing friends or fans or blog readers?
And today I can tell you.. Yes I will stand for what I believe in and for what is good and right in God's eyes. I will stand!

Amen, sister. So glad that precious little Dylan is my brother-in-Christ! What a testimony to God's saving grace that not only can you look at Dylan, but you love and cherish him so much for what he stands for: a life changed by God!
Amen, amen, amen! Love your blog, haven't commented in awhile, but I'm still reading and loving every honest truth you share! Keep it up, sister!
