Fetus
This word is often used by Pro-choice people who long to depersonlize the human in a mother's womb. Wether they know it or not when they use it, I am sure that the young women they are talking to who has no idea what to do, has no what that word means. Fetus is the Latin word for little child. So when someone says that there is a fetus in a young woman, pro-life or pro-choice, they are saying that there is a little child in them. A living, breathing, heart beating baby. And at some point in your life, you were there too! At three weeks a baby has a heart beat that you can hear, and at six it has measurable brain waves. Many women are told that all they are "terminating," in other words killing, is a blob of tissue. In the book that I am reading, Pro-Life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments, the author, Randy Alcorn says that another prolem is that there is no window into the womb. If a mother could see what is in her womb, that it really looks like a baby, that it is breathing, with a heart beat, blood flowing, and every organ developed by the time an abortion would take place, so many of them would not do it! If only they could see and hear. May God use us to help these young women see and hear the gift that God has given them.
God Bless,
Leah-Joy.

Basil (Pronounced Baa sil)
In the Roman Empire a baby was not considered a human until it was literally raised up by it's father and he declared it so! But, up until then, it was fair game. A Roman mother did not HAVE a child, she TOOK a child. During this time there was NO law that protected babies or children. There was child sacrificing, abortion and walls for you put your babies on for them to be exposed to death. Basil knew he had to end this. He knew that it was not going to be just a battle, but a war! He took action. He realized that those who had abortions were poor girls with no man to stand by their side. So, he started a school to educate men on how to be fathers, that they got themselves in this mess and they are the only ones who can get themselves out of it, he taught them that they have the responsibility of being a father. He started hospitals for these girls. He preached about the sanctity of life, would read a Psalm and say "Hey, Sagae, this ones for you!" He was bold! He went to the officials and asked them if all these acts of child killing were legal, they said they were and even though they did not like them either, if they did anything to the Sagae, they were so wealthy the society would crumble! The reason why the Sagae were so rich was because of their trade. Once the women took the herbs that would kill the baby in her womb (maybe even her), when the baby was out of the womb, the harvested them and sold them to Egyptian traders. These people would take the knee caps and such and make beauty products out of them. Basil fought this. He hated it!
Even though in our society babies aren't killed with offered sacrifices to some god in olympus, or left on a wall to die from exposure, it is the same thing guys! When are we going to wake up and quit walking around with blinders on our eyes! We have to take off our masks and soar on the wings of eagles and do hard things like Basil and fight this! Lets do a little comparison here:
- They killed their babies with herbs-we do basically the same things.
- They offered them as sacrifices-we do the same thing. We sacrifice them to ourselves. We think that it will make us happy, but, it never does.
- They would leave their babes on a wall to be exposed to death-in post birth abortions a babies lungs cannot stand our air but it could survive with the proper medical help, but they are left in a soiled utility room to suffocate.
- I don't see much a difference.
Then, oneday after a service, Basil and a group of faithful deacons went down to the exposure wall and DEMOLISHED it!!! They tore it DOWN! After hearing about this amazing act the Emperor set a law that abortion, child sacrificing and the building exposure walls was illegal! Another law was made that all parents are to support their children. This was the first law, in history, to of ever been made that protected children. Basil has been such an encouragement to me. I hope that he has been to you. He was ready. And we need to be too! He had been waiting on his moment to come and when it did, he knew it and he was ready for it. He had been preparing all his life, God had been getting him ready. He didn't know what for, and I bet that at times he didn't want to do whatever it was God had for him in order to get ready, but, when the time, came he was fully equipped. He changed the course of history. It didn't just happen, he had to fight. He knew that their were no disposable children, that God IS the only giver and taker of life! He knew that there are two worldviews in our world: those who will take life without reserve and those who will fight for lfe without reserve.
God Bless,
Joy.

My Mission
- In our history lecture our teacher talked about the sanctity of life.
- I have seen the director of our Crisis Pregnancy Center' name twice this week.
- I am reading a book called "Just Do Something" and in it the author talked about Esther saving her people; last year I wrote a paper about Esther saving her people and how the babes of abortion are our people we need to save them.
- I was able to talk about Abort73 (a website who's mission s to raise aware in teens about abortion) on Wednesday night at church and it felt so awesome and I was thankful for that opportunity!
- Matthew 8:10,13 says, " As assuredly as I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel... 13Go your way and as you have believed, so let it be done for you."
- Before I read this I was very afraid, Matthew 8:26 says, "But He said to them, 'Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?' And there was a great calm"
- In the book I am reading for school the author talked about what miracles babies are!
- In "Just Do Something" the author sad that if you want a career in medicine, then do something that will honor God, "to not perform abortions." (talk about feeling like you were feeling being hit up side the head with words!)
- And just now my sister told me that our cousins ran a marathon to help stop abortions.
So, yes, there it all is! I am so thankful for all the girls that listened to me tonight at Small Groups and all the girls who got so excited and wanted to join me! God is so awesome!!! As I was talking with them and as I have been writing this I have realized that I will not be doing this alone, that even if I am physically alone, HE IS with me!!
So, we hope that maybe we can start by volunteering at our local Crisis Pregnancy Center. And just a shout out to ny other girl who may read this and have a passion for innocent lives, please leave a comment and I would love to pray for you and would appreciate if you would pray for me. Thanks to all who took the time to read this. Please pray that God will guide so that I will do what need to do, one step at a time.
Thank you all so much for your support, encouragement and if you know anyone who wants to help fight this injustice and speak for those with no voice, please send this way and I would love to encourage them if I can, pray for, just form an online community of ACTIVE pro-life young women, for we are either a child or an adult and God has called us to be adults and act as adults, so we need to do something adults would do.
Again thank you all so much for listening!
God Bless you!!
Joy.

REMEMBERING Memorial Day
But But, others did make it home. Like my Grandpa and the man above and many more. But there are more who didn't make it home. I have written the song below for those who did make it home. If any service man happens to read this, thank you so much for your sacrifice. You re in my prayers everyday and I pray that God's hedge of protection will be with you.
God Bless,
Joy.
As I stepped on the train with my Bible in hand
The first thing I saw was a soldier man
Sittin' all alone
I took a seat as we started along,
and asked if he'd been gone long
And he looked at me and said,
Chorus
My Mama loved me to death
But to my Daddy my ears were deaf
Ever since I was eighteen I been gone
Joined the Army and never been back home
He looked at me with tears in his eyes
and said, "I told 'em I wasn't comin' back after I said my goodbyes
I wrote my Daddy and asked if he could forgive and forget
So I'm headin' home but I hadn't heard from 'em yet.
But I said if he had to tie a yellow flag
To my Mama's apple tree that always sags.
But I'm nervous as a shakin' leaf,
cause,
Chorus
Now we're nearin' home and
I'm afraid I still might be alone
This is my home town here all about
Around the bend is the apple tree and I can't bear to look out
Sir, would you look at the tree,
And see if my Daddy has forgave me
I leaned out the window and saw a sight
And I grinned like a kid flyin' a kite
And looked at the soldier man and said
"Everyone is welcoming you home lad,
And it's not just a rag
On your Mama's apple tree that sags,
That tree is completely yellow
Surrounded by folks by folks full of love for a fella
Cause...
Your Mama loves you to death
And your Daddy has forgave and forgot
You won't be gone and alone anymore
You can stop running in those boots
Everyone in town is ready for you to return to your roots!

Revolutionary
Here is a song by Bethany Dillon that has been a real encouragement to me!
Many have traveled this road before
I see their tracks in the dirt
But maybe I don’t agree
With where they are leading
And who am I, just a youth
But why has that become the excuse
A monotone voice
In my head saying
Dreaming all the time
It’s so foolish
Your flood of empty words
Will drown you in ruin
So we listen
Should we listen.
They shake their heads
As they drive away in the bandwagon
Didn’t feel like hitching a ride
Oh, but I’ll be fine
Some nights it’s hard to be aloneI want some kind of kinship
But the finish line
It drives me on
When they say.
Dreaming all the time
It’s so foolish
Your flood of empty words
Will drown you in ruin
So we listen
Should we listen
Come with me
They’ll call us revolutionaries
Come with me
They’ll call us revolutionaries
Revolutionaries
Revolutionaries
Dreaming all the time
It’s not foolish
Your flood of life giving words
They will refresh, they will refresh
Dreaming all the time
It’s not foolish
Your flood of life giving words
They will refresh
Should we listen
Revolutionaries
