Considering Abortion?

I read this story about abortion. This might help you make the big decision. This story made me cry.

"I had been dating Bob for 6 months when I found out I was pregnant. Bob didn't want me to have a baby considering we were only 18 and 19, and he thought that this is just a second chance. I didn't want to give up the life was inside of me. I didn't know who to turn to. My family is Catholic and against abortions, and the people I usually turn to were also against abortions. The only person I could tell was Bob and a few friends who I knew had abortions in the past. They all encouraged me to have an abortion and no matter my view on it, I felt highly pressured to have one. I looked on the Internet and found a clinic in Ohio. I was so scared. I had the abortion October of 2000.I don't remember much of it because they gave me something to relax, through an IV. I do remember telling them that it hurt, even if I can't remember the pain it must have been very painful because if I am saying it hurt when I had something to relax me, it must have been horrible. When the abortion was finished they took me into the recovery room where several girls were. Bob was unable to come in with me because it would be uncomfortable for the other girls in there. The nurse asked me if I wanted to see what they took out and I said yes. It didn't look like much, but I felt emptiness. I was in pain for weeks afterwards, bad cramping and spotting. I called to make sure it was normal and they said as long as I don't have a fever it was.
Since the abortion my periods were on time. This past year I missed 3 months, and had to go on a hormone to get it started. I just missed another 2 months and decided it was time to get checked out. I went to the gynecologist for my annual check up and found out that I have cysts on my ovaries and have scar tissue on the lining of my uterus. He told me that the scaring is from the abortion, and I will probably not be able to have kids. For some of you this may sound good now, but think ahead in life. When you get married don't you want a family? My abortion has caused me so many problems in my life. From depression to eating disorders, to guilt and regret. I have a hard time being around babies who would be the same age as my baby had I decided to have it. I am no longer with Bob, after 2.5 years I realized how much I was been verbally abused and manipulated. I look back and can only learn from the mistakes I have made.
With every experience you have you grow. I can only share my story, because I am unable to go back and change the decision I made."

Nothing to Do With This

So I know this next post has nothing to do with Christianity, God or music, but I just thought this was a must to post.
Not even 5 minutes ago I called a friend because she had called me back because I had called her in the first place. confusing, isn't it. Anyways.... their answering message came up because they "didn't get to the phone", whatever that means.
Their message was hilarious. It was so funny that I still cant stop laughing. It went something like this:

Hi. You've reached the ________ residence. We cant get to the phone right now. Please leave your name and phone number at the Bleeeeeeeeeep sound (Bleeep doesn't stand for a swear word. It stands for the sound the machine makes) and we'll get back to you if we feel like it.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha


hope it was as funny for you as it was for me.

Signs From God

I saw this billboard on the internet today and i thought i should share it because it was very very true

Smacksy... and God

I follow this blog called smacksy and the lady who writes the posts talks about her kindergarden son named bob. He is the first one speaking in the dialogue that follows. 

This was todays post. 

"You know what's good about the sky, Mom?"

"Tell me."

"It never goes away."

"That's true."

"And it holds us all here so that we don't float up to the galaxy... but floating up might be fun too."

I was thinking, that's also very true with God.

Mad? Annoyed?

Have you received a game board made by the company North Star? Were some of the pieces missing. Then you can go to this page:

http://www.northstargames.com/North_Star_Games/Contact_Us.html

And learn how to contact them for new pieces. I had missing cards for my "Say Anything" game and they sent me the cards within a week, free charge and shipping with a twizzler candy to say sorry. They also sent me a wits and Wagers game cards (4 of them) accidentally- i feel sorry for the kid whos missing them.

So i  decided to give you guys some info on that. !!!

Shuffle

I pressed shuffle on my ipod and these were the first ten songs (honestly). Check them out!

1. Somewhere in the  middle------ Casting Crowns
2. Pass it on--------------------------- Tommy Walker
3. Lifesong---------------------------- Absolute All Time Favourites For Kids
4. Stay My Baby--------------------- Miranda Cosgrove

New Fm static Cover

The original "what are you waiting for" Cd by fm static looks like this.  

I wasn't very satisfied by this since it didn't have the band name on it or the Cd title.
So i made a new Cd cover. 
Here it is for your use. Do you like it? Have you made any album covers on your own?

How to Get a Friend to....

come to a christian club?
come to church?
Join a youth group?
Well the answer is to NAG.
As bad and annoying as that sounds, it actually works. Plus the lord tells us to do that in the bible. I did that to a friend. and today i decided to invite the few kids i eat lunch with to the christian club at my school. The few kids were somewhat related to Christianity and christians. Whether they are believers, i don't know. So the one friend of mine, who never wants to go to anything to do with christianity had nothing to do but come. We even prayed there together. It was a blast. Thank the lord. So all in all, NAG not in a mean way but in a friendly, "you'll have fun" way.

I take a family studies class @ school and somehow we always end up talking about religion one way or another. Now i don't go to a christian/catholic school. So today we were talking about things that shape our families and one of the things was religion. Now my teacher, a non christian, made a good point. He said that back then people needed to believe in something so they turned to christianity. But nowadays they have science. So basically as time goes on science will continue to replace christianity more and more.

Watch out! Don't fall for the trick! Save your friends!

First Person To Name All These Artists...

If We are The Body

In the first verse of "If We are the Body" talks about a girl that isn't very popular that visits church. The other girls notice and tease her and laugh at her, not making her feel welcome. A traveler from far away 
visits the church and all he gets is judgemental glances from others . So he decides he would rather not go to church there. 
After each verse the chorus asks, "If we are the body, why aren't his arms reaching? Why aren't his hands healing? Why aren't his words teaching? If we are the body why aren't his feet going? Why is his love not showing them there is a way?". Often times at church we treat others like an outcast for dumb reasons. Churches should be a place where everyone is welcome. God would never turn anybody away. As his body we should welcome people to the church with open arms. We should reach out to those who aren't popular. We should go out of our way to include others. We should be there for them, teach them, and we should show them God's love. 


IS YOUR CHURCH WELCOMING? ARE YOU WELCOMING TO PEOPLE EVEN IF THEY AREN'T POPULAR OR IF THEY'RE DIFFERENT?


We all deserve the Lord.
