I know I've used that title before, but man I just love it. ANGLES. ANGLES. ANGLES. You're welcome Reagan :) So life is good!!! I've learned new ways to deal with some anxiety I've had, had several doctor appts to get back on allergy shots and get my shots to africa, and am just so blessed by my efforts to raise the money for that trip!!! I am at the point of $3600 out of $4000!! God is so good and He DOES and WILL provide :) Following my trip to galveston (lowercase for a reason), Lauren and I got in a discussion about abortion. She asked my thoughts on it... I do NOT have a good argument on this, and in this discussion I got very defensive. I whipped out the normal christian response that 'it's murder no matter what age'. I STILL believe this as a life is a life, but Lauren presented this idea of women in India who are forced to submit to their husbands sexually due to their social status, and therefore have many kids as they also don't believe in contraception. So when a woman finds out she is pregnant and her family is already dirt poor- they have the option to get an abortion before 8 wks. I still believe this is wrong, but I will continue. So the question is, when that child starves and dies due to lack of food, is it better to abort or to allow the baby to suffer? My response to this is who are we to say that babies don't feel abortion? Yeah their brains aren't developed, but no one remembers being in the womb and how they were at that point. Science isn't always teh definite answer. Also, when people say 'give the baby a chance', what about the babies that die every day in these situations? I tried to use the 'God will provide' answer, but with the death of those babies... is that Him providing? And these women aren't Christians, does He still provide to them?
Anyway- I lost my argument and got angry and reacted terribly, and my loving best friend understood. She simply asked the hard questions and I need to be able to have good answers. So I send this question to you guys- I need your help with my argument! I want to hear your thoughts- so if you can't post on here, post on my facebook or send me a message :)
SOOOOO back to life, life is GREAT. I've been pursuing relationships and community and have gotten that back ten-fold. I met with my prayer teamer, Ashley Scarbrough, and y'all. She is awesome. So in tune with her faith and her position as prayer teamer and just so understanding and loving... and she likes crepes. Basically my meeting with her was so blessed and fun and I appreciated everything she said and just loved our time together. Thank you Ashley for being legit, and for taking time to meet with me :) Zebulun, alpha Zebulun :) I also got to attend Madison Kerner's wedding and had a BLAST. Most beautiful, simple, and fun wedding I've ever been to. I got to spend time with Lauren Kerner and Paxton and just love on them and be loved on. I adore this girl, y'all. seriously. forever and ever :) I thank God for these people every day!! I am so loved and I am reminded that by the note on my desk from my big that says 'YOU ARE SO LOVED!'. I am so lucky!! My froomz are ballers y'all. We finally got a house and we are all so excited :) I am surrounded by the most godly, strong, christian women I know. I will be changed during my time with them and I am totally pumped about that. These girls are patient, loving, and kind and will love me despite my faults :) Thank you Polly, Reagan, and Jen :) Y'all are so amazing as you are right now and I already look up to y'all!! God has thrown these awesome opportunities to grow closer to Him these past few months and I'm taking them and I hope using them to the best of my ability!! More later :)
Vaya con Dios,
Molly
