I have went back and forth about writing about the abortion insurance that Obama is trying to pass. If everything goes well for him, it will be effective in 2014. If this happens, we will not only be legalizing but promoting murder. As a Christian, I find the thought of this bill disgusting. I get that some people feel backed in a corner when they find out they are pregnant, and feel like it's easier to have an abortion than to carry this living and breathing child to full term. Pregnancy is hard. But murder is murder. I believe before every abortion, even today, the "mother" should have to listen to their child's heart beat for a good hour or so before being allowed to go through with the abortion. Most women don't hear this powerful sound before they let the doctor suck the baby out with a tube. I don't care how early you have an abortion, 99% of the time, when you get to that point, your baby has a heartbeat.
What I find amazing about all of this is the fact that Adoption Agencies charge sometimes up to 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS for adoption. And we are entertaining the thought of giving a woman the right to murder their child for a $25.00 copay. How am I the only one who see's how incredibly screwed up this is? If every child that was aborted or will be aborted was placed for adoption, we would NEVER have a waiting list for forever families. Every woman who had dreamed of being called mom, would have that opportunity. These are good people, who want to love these babies that women are killing DAILY! Every minute babies are being murdered. Perhaps Obama, you should consider making adoption more desirable for the birth mothers, instead of making it easier to murder their infants. Mr. President, you give tax credits for EVERYTHING. Try giving a tax credit to the abortion clinics for decreasing their work by 50%. They are only out to make money anyway. I'm sure they will jump on board.
Mr. President. You talked about change during your election. Boy have you brought it. Nothing is the same anymore. I've never seen so many people scared and worried about their future. I've never seen so many Christian's pray for the rapture. We don't want our children to grow up in a world that is corrupted, and leaning on value's that aren't God's commandments. You are allowing God to be taken out of the school's, and wondering whey have school shootings weekly around the world. You are allowing this to happen!! You like to place blame on anyone that can hold it. But the truth of the matter is, when you give God's rights to human's, you are pleasing God. And in return, he will show you that He is bigger than anything you can dish out.
I pray for our president daily. I believe he needs it more than ever. I pray that he sees that the only way this country will prosper is to let God be the leader. I ask that all of you do the same. This world CAN be like it was when we were young. We just have to fight for it.

Forgive
This little word is very hard for me to do. When someone hurts me, I often push it down deep inside and years later, it will still make me just as angry as it did the day it happened. I read this piece of advice somewhere and copied and pasted it to a notepad. I read it often, hoping I can find the best way I can let go of the bitterness.
Christian forgiveness also encompasses action. Our confession with God involves us seeing our sins as He sees it, bringing God’s forgiveness. When we sin against others, we sin against God. For this reason, we ask God to forgive us of our sins, but we must also forgive our fellow man.
“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong” (1 John 1:9).
What guides Christian forgiveness if an offender is not willing to repent, when the victim has done nothing wrong? The Lord commands us to forgive, releasing the offense and the offender to Him. This is done in prayer to the Lord. God recognizes these situations with this Scripture.
“Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God. For it is written, ‘I will take vengeance; I will repay those who deserve it,’ says the Lord” (Romans 12:19).
Powerful huh? It was to me.
For years, I was so bitter against an ex of mine. He hurt me. Deeply. I loved him with everything I had, and he took my heart and stomped on it like it meant nothing to him. I held it in. I hated him. I realized I was giving more of myself to the anger against him, than I did my incredible husband. I remembered all the times that he hurt me, lied to me, and cheated on me instead of seeing, that I have an amazing man who loves me, treats me like a queen, and would never cheat me. I have a husband who goes out of his way NOT to hurt me. I have a man who hates to see me cry. A man that I may not always agree with, but a man who I love very deeply.
I never thought I could forgive this person. But I did. And I realized along the way that God is bigger than anything that could hurt me. In fact, God is my neosporin. Except he heals all wounds, regardless of how deep they are.
Two quotes I love dearly... and have helped me throughout this process....
* Each experience is your life was absolutely necessary in order to have gotten you to the next place, and the next, and the next, up until this very moment.
* I release the past with ease, and I trust the process of life. I do not use yesterday's mental garbage to create tomorrow's experiences. I create fresh new thought and a fresh new life.

Hair Line Gender Predictor
Some will say this doesn't work. But so far I haven't found anyone that can disprove this. Remember, it is strictly an old wives tale. Some hair lines are harder to read than others. But my boys so far have been correct. All my friends children's have proven it right as well. Keep in mind, this only really works if the children are from the same parents as their siblings. :) Enjoy!
Straight Across Hair Line- same gender next child.
Point or "Rat Tail" hair line- opposite gender.
Here are my boys....
Zachary:
Zachary is my first born son, and his hair line is straight across... meaning... another boy...
Brennon:
Tripp has a point or rat tail hair line. Which mean... next baby should be a little girl. Not sure if I'll ever find out if this is true or not... (haven't decided if we will have another one)
Like I said before... I've tested this on pretty much all of my friends and family members, and all of them have proven this theory correct. Interested in seeing if I can find someone who can prove it wrong. :)
Here is Me. Mine is one of the one's that is kinda hard to tell because it doesn't go straight across but doesn't have JUST the one point. The key points to look at is the middle.. does the point come down longer than the other side points? If so, it should be considered a point. :)

I also have a baby brother. :)

UPDATE:
I proved this gender prediction wrong with the birth of my 4th beautiful son who based on the hair line should have been a girl. I assure you, he is 100% boy.
