Banquet Night!!

 

So very proud of my wife Carla Stream for continuing to tell her story of hope and healing after abortion. She has been doing it since 2008. Last night was at the Options for Women Menomonie Room to Breath Banquet. Well done babe! Continue to proclaim the good news of Jesus!

It Isn't Enough

Dear silent brothers and sisters in Christ,

It isn't enough that the abortion industry is founded in the racist and eugenic beliefs of Margaret Sanger. It isn't enough for you to cry out.

It isn't enough that the greatest killer of innocent preborn black lives made in the image of God is abortion. It isn't enough for you to cry out. 

It isn't enough that a rapist's best friend is abortion.  Abort that innocent human being made in the image of God and send that survivor back to her rapist. It isn't enough for you to cry out.

It isn't enough that millions of women have been physically, emotionally and spiritually harmed by their abortions. It isn't enough for you to cry out.

It isn't enough that innocent human beings made in the image of God are brutally murdered by the thousands each day.  It isn't enough for you to cry out.

It isn't enough that aborted fetal cell lines from innocent human beings made in the image of God are used to manufacture certain vaccines.  It isn't enough for you to cry out.

It isn't enough that innocent human beings made in the image of God are aborted alive.  With beating hearts they are dismembered and their intact body parts sold to the highest bidder. It isn't enough for you to cry out. 

It isn't enough that the greatest human rights abuse in terms of numbers is abortion. More 62 million innocent human beings made in the image of God have perished since 1973 in the United States. 

Their innocent blood cries out.  

Will you?

Caroling for Life

Singing carols about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ outside of an abortion mill is truly an amazing experience!!   We proclaimed the Good News to those who were going in and coming out and to the Planned Parenthood escorts! There was a mom and a daughter there near the driveway with a bullhorn. They held signs about how Abortion is Fine!  As we sang they screamed and shrieked lyrics to Taylor Swift songs.  Sounded more like a choir of demons.  And here's the thing......they were causing so much commotion which DETERS women from driving in!!
Thank you Lord!! 

On the Sidewalk

 

Aubrey

32 years ago today. I chose abortion in total fear.

I named that precious baby Aubrey. She will always be my daughter. I will always be her mother. I will take the time today to feel what I am feeling.

The grief. The loss.

I will cling to the God who forgives and saves and redeems.

The joy. The hope.

I would not be who I am today without going through all that I have been through.

There are babies that have been saved because I tell our story and women who have found forgiveness and freedom in Christ after their abortions because I facilitate a post abortive Bible study.

He has been so very good to me!!

I remember the days of old;

I meditate on all that you have done;

I ponder the work of your hands. Psalm 143:5

I am one year closer to our reunion sweet girl.

I love you,

Mommy

Law of the Land?? HA!

THE SUPREME COURT HAS SPOKEN!!
ROE V WADE HAS BEEN OVERTURNED!!  
And now states will decide what they would like to do with the issue of child murder.  

Our prayers have been answered!!

BUT Please do not believe the lies and the fear mongering from those that are proabortion. I'm really not sure WHY they carry on so. It is all they have. Lies and deception.

Removal of an ectopic pregnancy is NOT an abortion.

Early induction to save the life of a mother is NOT an abortion.

Medical intervention in the case of a miscarriage is NOT an abortion.

The INTENT of those interventions is to SAVE.

The INTENT of an abortion is to brutally KILL an innocent fully alive and growing innocent human being.

Intent is everything.

Love Them Both

This precious little girl turns 1 year old today!!  Her mommy was 14 weeks along and messaged me from Kenya.  She had found an illegal abortionist at the same time she found my story of abortion regret.  We talked back and forth. I offered her everything I wanted before my abortion. Help. Hope. Support. She chose life and Jasmine is growing so fast!!

Speaking the Truth!

 So grateful to God for the opportunity to tell my story of abortion and forgiveness at Celebration Community Church in Celebration, FL.  My former pastor was instrumental in helping me begin the journey of healing after abortion.  He BOLDLY declared the truth about the intentional killing of innocent human beings made in the image of God via abortion.  He also spoke of God's forgiveness. No one is beyond the saving grace of Jesus Christ.  

Hi Mel!!

This is my friend Melissa Ohden.

She survived the abortion attempt meant to end her life.(When the baby isn't killed it is called a "failed abortion." Because the intent of an abortion is to kill)

BUT GOD......is a God of hope and healing.

I have read her book You Carried Me at least 3 times. She is not alone btw. There are MANY abortion survivors and THAT is what Melissa's next book is about! Can't wait to read it!

Keep going girl! Keep telling your story. That the world made put a face to the evil that is abortion!!

Tactics

 Disclaimer

These are my thoughts and observations. I will not argue with you. You are free to disagree with me.

There are tactics being used. To get people to take the jab. And I now see the parallels between that and how women are treated before an abortion. Hear me out. Hear what I am saying. Read it again. I am not equating the jab with abortion. But someone will absolutely say that I am. And as a woman who has had an abortion...I do know the difference.

There is a narrative of a brighter outcome.

It's just a simple procedure. It's easy. Quick. Painless. Safe. You can get on with your life. Think about the life you want in the future. Think about the lives of others. For the good of them.

There is the narrative of fear. A scenario to rush.

Do this soon. Do this now. Don't wait. It will be worse if you wait.

Just do it. Today. Right now.

There is a narrative of coercion. You will never finish college. You won't be a good mother. Think of your future. Your future children. You will lose your job. Your income. Your livelihood.

There is no informed consent with abortion. There are flat out LIES told to women. Lies of omission. And I have tried to do research into all of the jabs, side effects, long term outcomes.......my head spins at what I know and don't know.

Some scenarios sound eerily familiar to me. Nurses sobbing while submitting to the jab they don't want. Women on the table sobbing, submitting to the abortion they don't want. The anger from those who disagree!! We are flipped off and sworn at as we stand against abortion outside on the sidewalk. Just as we are as we stand against mandates with signs that say Consent Not Coercion or Unmask Our Kids. One man called a group of women and a little girl the C WORD! As parents were walking their children into an elementary school!

And maybe all of the above is why I feel so uneasy. So sickened by what is happening, how this is all playing out. And how dark and evil it feels. And why my voice raises and I feel it in my whole being when discussing this with my husband.

Some of us want to be discerning. Some of us want and need the time to use wisdom. For ourselves and for our children.

There are narratives being used. What are the reasons?

Why the fear? Why the rush? Why the coercion? The incentives?

TO WHAT END??

Hello Jasmine!!

 One year ago I received a message on facebook. A desperate mother in Kenya who had found an abortionist but also found my story of abortion regret. She didn't want an abortion. She wanted help and hope and support. I offered that and her beautiful Jasmine is now 7 months old!! Look at that precious little face!! I messaged back and forth with that mother yesterday.

September 5th. 31 years ago to the day that I made the worst decision of my life by aborting my first child. She thanked me and thanked God for me that I was there for her in a "really confusing time."

I spent much of my day doing the things I had on my list of things to do. But I knew what was coming. Feel what I was feeling. I finished reading the book Tilly which paints a glorious picture of the reunion God has planned for me. I brought some flowers to the baby stone in the backyard. I prayed. I cried. I spoke aloud to Aubrey. I love you. I miss you. I will see you soon. You are my girl.

And I remembered what God has done in my life since September 5th, 1990. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Him.

Abortion is lifelong. To those of us who have found healing in Jesus after abortion, we carry our burden of regret together. We grieve together and face the future together. We do what God calls us to do. Tell others of what He has done. Speak the truth to counter the lies of the abortion industry. Lead others to the hope and healing that we have found.

I will give God all of the glory and honor and praise due Him as He has delivered me from the darkness. My story is really His story of rescue, redemption and restoration.

I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

I will consider all your works

and meditate on all your mighty deeds.

Psalm77:11-12

Babygirl

This is Mary who was contemplating abortion and found an abortionist even though it is illegal in Kenya. She found my abortion story of regret online and messaged me when she was 14 weeks along. AND HERE IS HER PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL!! Thank you Lord!! Baby girl is named Jasmine to go along with siblings Jeremy, Jude and Joy and daddy Justus. Thank you for praying!!

And thank you to those who gave yesterday!! Mary said to thank you too!!

I will never shut up about the death and destruction abortion brings. becauseTHIS

TRUTH

 If abortion DIDN'T brutally end the life of an innocent human being, I wouldn't care. But it does. And I do. -Carla Stream

SFL

When we decided to homeschool this year I ordered curriculum and opened boxes like Christmas. Nathan's American History book arrived and as I glanced through it, this was the first picture I saw. Students for Life of America at the March for Life! Of course the tears started and I thanked God that we chose wisely in education and books full of TRUTH.

My Mary

Mary, my new friend from Kenya who chose life is 20 WEEKS!!

We try to message each other everyday. My morning is her evening.

Choose Life

 

My son and his friends saw these Prolife Across America signs. Real Men Love Babies. Life begins at conception. Defend Life. Life begins at conception. You can see what someone with hate(murderous rage) in their hearts did to the signs. Spray painting over a baby's face.

My son and his friends had a prolife sign, talked to the man of the house and placed their sign underneath.

PROLIFE VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS!!

The date will come like it always does. My body remembers the trauma long before I acknowledge it. September 5th, 1990.

Tomorrow marks 30 years since the abortion of my precious daughter, Aubrey. The grief never goes but I do not grieve as those with no hope. (1 Thess 4:13)

Before I could even ask God to help me through the day I received a facebook message from Kenya. A young, pregnant mom with 3 children had been contemplating abortion. Even though abortion is illegal in Kenya, she made an appointment with someone who could do it. She found my story of abortion regret online and messaged me. I messaged her back and offered her support, encouragement, help and hope. She gave me all of her reasons for seeking to end her child's life. I countered with truth. I prayed and prayed and God heard and answered. She chose life!! She messaged, "I am so happy!!" I have received photos of her beautiful family and her growing baby, now 17 weeks!!

And THAT is what my God does. He RESCUES, REDEEMS and RESTORES!! THAT is how God uses my deepest regret. Amen.

Please pray for Mary, her husband Justus, and children Jeremy, Jude and Joy. With her permission(we message each other everyday)I am sharing pictures of her beautiful family!!

I will be away from this place for a couple of days.

Pondering. Feeling what I feel.

How I could possibly love God MORE and when can I get to Kenya?? 

 

Standing for Life

At one point there were 14 of us out there!! Praying against the evil, asking God to save!!

A young man brought his sister. She had lied to him about her appointment. She was going in for an abortion and he was trying to call her. Praying that God saved the life of his niece or nephew.

I am grateful for those that stand with me. And grateful that my God saves. Saves those that chose life yesterday that we don't even know about

Choose Life!

I had a dream the other night that I chose LIFE instead of abortion. LIFE instead of DEATH! I was given what I was denied at the abortion mill. I got to see the ultrasound of my baby! I got to hear that little heartbeat! I yellled, "NO NO NO!" at the staff and left. I felt the same fear and anxiety and uncertainty turn to RELIEF and JOY as people wanted to help me and come alongside of me! They offered me EVERYTHING I needed. EVERYTHING I wanted.
This dream was truly a gift to me as I got a glimpse of what it feels like to be surrounded by strangers when in great need. Turning from the darkness to light. Choosing the best for myself and my daughter. A glimpse of what it must feel like for those that do indeed choose life!
There are women choosing life today!
I know that in eternity I will be made whole. NO MORE grief or pain or tears forever and ever. Amen. Thank you Lord!

29

The grief after abortion never goes.
Not on this side of heaven. And I accept that.
My daughter would be here had I made the best decision I could have made. I could have let her live.
By the end of April there is always the sadness. I have to stop and remember that my girl would have been born sometime in April. The tears shall fall today in sorrow and gratitude for what God has done.
My Aubrey would have been 29 years old this month.

Sweetheart,
Another year closer to you. The longing for you grows. I am so grateful to God that He has you with Him. And that one day we will be together for eternity. Until then I will honor your life and your memory by continuing to share our story.
I love you so much,
Mommy
