There was wind, and no rain!! Not having the rain made it seem much more pleasant. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This was the first Saturday of the month so folks from my church came out to minister to the abortion bound men and women.</span> </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jonathan and I got there and joined the normal, faithful crowd of Sidewalk Counselors. We hung out in the back for a bit with Kim and tried to offer info to people coming in. Kim was letting a woman know about the lawsuit filed against the abortionist. The woman's response was, "Everyone's got a lawsuit." Later on, some kids and I ventured in the back again and that woman was still there sitting in her car. Kim asked the kids if they would stand in front of her car and sing. They gladly walked up to her car and began singing. The woman turned her music on and the volume up to drown out the sound of the Truth being sung by the little ones.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Jonathan and I made our way up front as we saw people from church start to pile in. They were so excited to hold signs towards the traffic and wave! They took a break from holding signs to sing a couple songs: A song based on Psalm 139, He's got the Whole World in His Hands and Jesus Loves the Little Children. Those kids LOVE to sing! They sing from their hearts because they know what is going on behind that glass door just a few feet in front of them. They want the people to hear the message of HOPE and LIFE!</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The children's boldness grew as they stood on the sidewalk. They kept thinking of one-liners to say in unison. "Okay, one, two, three- PLEASE DON'T HURT YOUR BABY!"</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Steve took some time to share the Gospel, I called out to the ladies asking them to look at all these people on the sidewalk. We are all here for them! We are ready and willing to help if they will please come out and talk with us.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We did have one turn away!!</span><br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple drove in the back parking lot, Kim offered the guy some info and asked what they were here for. They were there for a pregnancy test. She told them about WCC and the malpractice lawsuit against the abortionist and that the other abortionist is a convicted child molester (<a href="http://abortiondocs.org/clinic/abortionist/454/thomas-william-michaelis/" target="_blank">documentaion here</a>). They were both taken aback by that and eventually followed Kim down to WCC. Praise the Lord!! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometimes I'm so surprised how callous people are... I mean, who would want to bring in someone they love (NUMBER ONE) to have an abortion (NUMBER TWO) by a convicted child molester???We do not just throw out that information as a scare tactic... we honestly care about the well being of these women and want to warn them about the shady characters of the people inside the building. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Despite the fact that no one chose life for their babies, the children singing and being a light for Christ was truly encouraging. They stormed the gates of hell like David facing Goliath. Boldly fighting for God's Kingdom. It may seem like the children were defeated, but you can't always look at what you can see, "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">God's Kingdom and His Church WILL prevail!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so thankful for the witness of one family that came who has adopted 5 of their 9 children! The last two were born addicted to drugs and had to spend time in the hospital to wean off the drugs. The first three they rescued out of some bad situations in foster care. These children's situations and how they came into this world are reasons why women have abortions. I hear men and women say they don't want to have a child that's deformed because of the drugs the mom or dad was on. The world is over populated and the foster system is overloaded with children, why would we (advocates for the unborn) want to perpetuate that? I am thankful the Lord has blessed me with knowing this family because I have had the opportunity to see a real live defense to these arguments. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, it is possible to get discouraged and think that you have to rescue every single orphan in your city, in Africa, in Russia- there are orphans everywhere. That's not the point. The point is <i>there are people who are willing and waiting</i> to adopt children!! The reason they wait is because <i>people would rather kill their children than put them into a loving home</i> with parents who can give that child a life they feel they cannot.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I just want to shout out to all those families who have Adopted or are Foster Parents. THANK YOU for taking in "the least of these"; the orphans, the unwanted. PLEASE share your stories with others!! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I think adoption and foster care should be a priority in every Christian family. The Bible is quite clear that we need to speak up for the defenseless, rescue those being lead to the slaughter, help the orphans. Jonathan and I hope to adopt one day, Lord willing, it can happen more than once. :)</span></div>

The high was 38 degrees. It was also windy with lots of rain. I, of course, forgot to bring my umbrella (it wasn't raining at the time). Thankfully, some other SWC graciously shared with us. We still got drenched.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
The weather definitely affected our ability to talk to people. Cars driving by on the wet road were so loud it was hard for people to hear us. We did get to hear a couple people's stories. One Indian couple with their beautiful baby girl came in. The driver spoke with Jonathan. He said she was having chest pain and this was were his insurance company said they were covered under. He explained this place is not going to help with that and this is an abortion facility. They said they didn't know that, but stayed inside. An Asian couple came up and told Jonathan that parents on both sides were opposed to them getting an abortion, but they were here just for a consultation. They said they would go and check out WCC down the road. Jonathan told them this place is biased, they only have one option to offer you.<br />
<br />
Jonathan spent some time sharing the Gospel and calling out to the people in the waiting room. Unfortunately I didn't think to record it.<br />
<br />
I tried to talk to a couple coming up. The girl was nearly in tears, gently saying no thank you. The man she was with told me he didn't want to hear my "b.s.". I pleaded with them in earnest, "Please, we are truly hear to help you! This is not a safe place for her or your baby. Please let us help you!"<br />
I warned people of the malpractice lawsuit that was filed against the abortionist.<br />
<br />

<br />
There was a man and woman walking up and the man put his hand up and said in a firm tone "Thank you, I don't want to hear what you have to say." Later, he and another man came out and went over to the next building to smoke. I walked over to where they were and asked if they considered adoption. That no woman ever regretted giving her child up for adoption, but nearly every woman has regretted getting an abortion. The man again firmly said he didn't want to hear what I had to say, that he was helping his friend. I told him I know you think you are helping your friend, but you're really not and I wish you could see that. I continued to plead and he would firmly try to shut me up. Eventually I just felt stuck and became so angry I started to cry. My loving husband was there to hold me in his arms and comfort me.<br />
<br />
It is so unbelievably frustrating when you are pleading for lives of unborn babies with such earnest and sincerity and you want to offer help and hope to people and they just shut you out. I know it is because they are blind. I was blind once, too. But Oh , Dear Jesus!! So many babies were killed today. So many consciouses seared.<br />
<br />
I watched a recent video of John Barros speaking to a man who has adopted the belief of a false Jesus. It's amazing to me how someone can know the Scripture, talk the talk... and yet bring a "friend" to an abortion facility to murder her baby, all because it's "her choice". The person filming ran out of "tape". John said on Facebook the guy came out trembling and tried to get his friend to come out.<br />
" <span style="color: #9fc5e8;">The people come here believing that Jesus "understands" their situation and is taking their baby back till the time is right..... It is insanity..... Jay's camera ran out of tape.... This young man actually began to tremble and said he would try and get her out... Later he came out crying on the porch talking to her.... Later he came out to get her a blanket with his head hanging not saying a word.... It is absolutely miserable down here watching these things happen... This is what you do to people when churches preach a false gospel..... People end up believing in a false Jesus... An idol they have created.... So Thankful for my Pastors and Elders that preach the truth</span>"<br />

I, too, am thankful for my Pastor, Elders, Deacons, brother and sisters in Christ who know God's truth, who live it out in their day to day lives, and love others enough to tell them when they have erred.<br />

<br />
We had sunshine, <i>and</i> wind. I have determined I just need to dress for Winter until the temperature gets above 55 degrees.<br />

Coverage for this Saturday looked like it would be spread pretty thin when Jonathan, Elizabeth and I got there. Only Kim and Jeremy were there. Praise the Lord we had more folks come out a bit later!<br />
Praise the Lord for a turn away!! Kim took a married couple over to Kinder Women's Care Center (WCC). She was told there were complications with her baby and were referred to Founders. Who knows why that would have happened. Kim said the woman was crying and definitely did not want to be there. Kim told her WCC could get her in touch with a specialist that could help her with whatever she's facing with her baby.<br />
<br />
I just don't understand why doctors are so quick to refer an abortion. March 21st was National Downs Syndrome Day. Did you know that <b style="font-size: x-large;">90%</b><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>of babies that have a prenatal diagnosis of Downs Syndrome will be aborted???<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There was a family that attended my church for a while who had a daughter with Downs Syndrome. I think she was 19 when they left. I made a point to talk to her every Sunday. I don't know much about the challenges people with Downs Syndrome face. I have seen different levels of severity and this young woman seemed pretty independent. She was home schooled and I think that probably was a huge advantage to her. She would tell me about books she was reading and different things she was interested in. She loved hugs! I was thankful for the interactions I had with her. I remember as a young child if I saw someone that was "different" than me (some type of disability or deformity), I felt very uncomfortable and didn't really know what to do around them. I hope I can teach my children that regardless of our abilities or disadvantages, we have value because every human being is made in the image of God. God doesn't say that only healthy children are a blessing... <i>Children</i>, no distinction, are a blessing.<br />

R.C. Sproul, Jr. said it best when he speaks of his daughter (who has been with the Lord for over a year now) Shannon:<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I look at Shannon again and I can’t believe the God of the universe would give me this opportunity to minister to Him…every day. That he would tell us <em>‘Unless you become like little children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven’,</em> and here, Shannon is so innocent–she is my spiritual better, constantly showing me so much about the Kingdom. I beg the Lord, <em>“Please, please don’t take her.”</em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, off my soap box and back to the sidewalk. :)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kim has noticed a blond haired woman maybe in her late 40's- early 50's who has brought several women to the Mill. Immediately when she gets out of the car, she yells profanities to keep the girl she's escorting from hearing what the SWC are saying. Well, she showed up again. Yelling and cussing at us. She revved her engine after she had left. We think it's a little fishy that she has brought several women in. We're keeping our eyes open and plan to bring it to the attention of the Police Officer that is on duty there. Who knows what's going on, but I pray we can help if there is any sex trafficking going on.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is another young, married couple that we have been getting to know the past couple months. They have been a great encouragement to us. They speak to women about the Hope we have in Christ, His Redeeming Love. I really appreciate them being out there.</span></div>

The Lord blessed us with a sunny and warm morning! There was a catholic womens conference going on this weekend, so we were spread a bit thin with SWC. We had 1.5 turn aways! I have the ".5" because Mark took the couple down to Kinder and by the time he was coming back, they were trailing behind him. This was only their consultation.<br />
An account from a SWC regarding the turn away:<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">The young lady and her mother where on the side of the building. A first, I thought they were workers but shortly after that she came out with her Mother. The young lady was crying and talking with someone on the phone.. she told them she couldn't do this.. Abortion!!. They approached me and said now what... what are our options. We spoke for a little while and I sent them down to WCC. Praise God for the move of the Holy Spirit!</span><br />
<br />
Praise the Lord!!<br />
<br />
My husband and another SWC had a lengthy conversation with a man who was a support person for his friend who was scheduled for an abortion. The topic first started off addressing the immediate issue of his friend having an abortion. Then it moved on to various world view topics. My husband was trying to gage whether the man was just arguing for the heck of it, but it seemed he really wanted his questions answered. Jonathan shared the Gospel with him and said toward the end of their conversation the man really seemed to ponder what it was Jonathan was sharing with him. Unfortunately, as far as we know, his friend did not have mercy on her child. We do pray that Jonathan was able to plant seeds on fertile ground. I really appreciate my husband out there on the sidewalk. He is so knowledgeable in God's Word and has a solid biblical worldview; he is fantastic with squashing people's worldly arguments (even if they don't know it) and does so while treating the other person with respect.<br />
You just never know the outcome or impact you have out on the sidewalk. You just have to stay faithful to the calling and trust God with the rest.<br />
<br />
I shared this with my husband on our way to the mill that morning:<br />
While we were engaged, I think we only made it out to the mill twice. I got out of the routine because wedding planning kept me so busy. When we started getting back in the routine of going after we got married, I realized my fire went out. I didn't really want to go, I didn't want to talk to people going in to have abortions. The reality of the depth of sorrow that was going on inside that building didn't sink in, the desperation to try and rescue these babies and their mamas just wasn't there.<br />
I didn't tell anybody about what I was feeling (well, lack thereof). I asked God what was wrong with me and to change my heart. My husband quotes from C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity ( I think this is the right one)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.</span><br />
He paraphrases it by saying to act in faith and the emotions or drive will eventually come. God is faithful. I can say the passion and desperation is returning.<br />
For those of you who sidewalk counsel, stay faithful and ask the Lord to give you the compassion and urgency that is necessary for out on the sidewalk.<br />
For those of you who "just don't feel it"- Go out to your local abortion mill anyway. Practice "True Religion" ( James 1:27). The Lord will equip you. Babies are being murdered in your town, will you not speak up for these precious, defenseless babies?? These babies have been abandoned by their mothers and fathers and they NEED YOU to plead for their lives. Will you not go?<br />
<br />
If you are interested in Sidewalk Counseling, feel free to leave me a comment and I'd be glad to help you out.<br />
<br />
Onward Christian Soldiers!!<br />

I got married!!!<br />
<div>
Jonathan and I entered into holy matrimony on September 14, 2013! </div>
<div>
My life moved into hyper drive upon meeting Jonathan. Now it's 4 months later and I still can't believe I have a husband. A godly one at that!! :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because of wedding planning, I didn't make it out on the sidewalk much during our 3 month engagement. About 3 weeks after being married, Jonathan joined my side on the sidewalk and we have been going to the Aborion Mill almost every Saturday since then.<br />
<br />

Still the same group of faithful sidewalk soldiers, plus some more new faces. There has been a new church group coming out a couple Saturdays a month. Hope City House of Prayer. Those people are filled with the Joy of the Lord! The first week they come out, they use that time to stand around the building and quietly pray. Their second time out they usually bring some instruments to play and sing songs. They are a blessing!!<br />

BIG NEWS: Harvey Blank, the main abortionist at Founders (He's been killing babies for over 40 years now) had a mal practice lawsuit filed against him. You can read the reports <a href="http://www.gcrtl.org/uploads/4/7/1/2/4712557/blank_redacted_lawsuit.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.weebly.com/uploads/4/7/1/2/4712557/founders_inspection_2013.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.( the second one is more specifically Dpt. of Health violations)<br />
<br />
The 40 Days for Life campaign was held at Founders this past Fall. How wonderful to think that for almost 40 days straight, there were people out on the sidewalk praying for aborion to end in that building! The next 40 D4L will be back at Complete Healthcare for Women on Cleveland Ave. It will be March 5- April 13 from 7am-7pm. You can click <a href="http://40daysforlife.com/columbus.html" target="_blank">here</a> for more info on how to get involved.<br />
<br />
Another great documentary is out on the subject of The Church and Abortion!!! It has some of my favorite Pro Life warriors: RC Sproul, Jr., Patte Smith and John Barros.<br />

<br />
It's an hour long. I think they could have done more with it, but it's still fantastic. It's basically encouraging The Church at large to get involved with the greatest evil of our day, right on the Front Lines. Please watch and share. :)<br />
<br />
In other related news: Foundation Church had another "abortion mill outreach day" this past Saturday!<br />
Due to weather, sickness and people being out of town, we didn't have quite the turn out as last time. But it was still glorious. We had kids out there singing and holding signs!<br />

You never know what is going to happen while out on the sidewalk. Most of the morning was fairly "normal"- not a lot of response out of people, getting ignored. There was an outburst from a mother trying to get her 14 year old daughter to come in to murder her grandchild. The daughter refused to go in, Praise the Lord! The mother was LIVID. She screamed at Pastor Mark to shut the F*** up, and threw that four letter word around quite a few more times. Some children were troubled by her outburst, others giggled to themselves saying what a nasty woman. I talked to some of the children and asked if they knew why that woman was so angry. They shook their heads in affirmation as I said she knows what she is trying to do is wrong, we're calling her out on it and she doesn't like it.<br />
Please be in prayer for this young mama, that she can withstand the opposition she faces at home. Pray that the 14 year old's mother will have joy in her heart for a grandbaby.<br />
A beautiful latino woman walked up with another woman. She has an interpretting business and was there to be an interpreter. She didn't know her client was going to get an abortion. She was so upset over it. My heart broke for her. She talked to us and went in several times to try and get her client out of there.<br />
Before we wrapped up, Pastor Mark wanted to leave with a militant song. So we sang A Mighty Fortress is our God. Once we finished with that we sang a few more. Those kids just love to SING!<br />
<br />

<br />
My church is hosting our denomination's annual <a href="http://foundationfellowshipchurch.org/presbytery-2014/" target="_blank">Presbytery and Family Camp</a>. Jonathan and I will be putting together a table/booth presenting our church's involvment in the anti-abortion movement and what we do while out on the sidewalk. We also hope to organize a group to go out to one of the surrounding abortion mills that Saturday. Please be a prayer about that.<br />
<br />
Well, I think that's all I got for now, it's good to be back! I hope to keep this up on a regular basis. Being a Keeper of the Home, things like this can be difficult to make time for. :)<br />

When the sun isn't out, and there is a slight breeze and mist, 55 degrees seems a lot colder... But the Lord sustained us through it!!<br />

There was quite a bit of excitement out front on the sidewalk this morning.<br />
Some folks held a press confrence for Personhood amendment and tried to collect signatures. Basically, Personhood would just give babies in the womb, the same rights we all enjoy outside of the womb. It's a great petition to get behind and encourage others to persue as well. You can learn more about Personhood <a href="http://www.personhoodohio.com/about" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
Dr. Patrick Johnston, "Coach", Pastor Bill Dunfee and Sarah Cleveland all spoke for a few minutes about various topics concerning Personhood, abolition, church involvement, etc. I videoed most of them, but Pastor Bill Dunfee's came in the most clear, so take a listen. *WARNING*, there is a poster in front of him that has the head of a 3rd trimester aborted baby. Just so you know.<br />
<br />
Oh rats, it won't work. Okay, maybe later...<br />

Quite a few children were out there, lots of people passionate about fighting for the unborn. They brought quite a few graphic signs with them. I still don't know how I feel about graphic images in front of a Mill. I suppose one, I would be okay with. There was a LOT. But, they seeded the culture and every person that walked or drove by got the opportunity to see how devastating abortion is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I noticed a black man looking at the signs and said hello to him. I asked him what he thought of abortion. He is from Africa and is a pastor over there doing the same as we are to fight abortion. He said here in the United States, abortion is more civil. Over in Africa, he said you wouldn't believe what goes on there. He was just driving by and noticed the signs and wanted to check it out and take a couple pictures. </div>

Well, because of all the "ruckus" we pro-lifers were making out front, the employees were escorting women thru the back door to avoid us. It was busy today. :( </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did get to talk to one woman coming in. "J" said she was here for an ultrasound. I told her Kinder does ultrasounds for free. But she said she had already made up her mind. I asked her why she felt she needed to have an abortion. She already had 3 kids and didn't want another one. I told her about adoption, and I knew several people who have adopted children from mothers who did not want another child. I reminded her tomorrow is Mother's Day, and could she live the rest of her life knowing she killed her baby? She looked a little teary-eyed. I gave her a ministry packet as she went inside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few hours later she came back out, and had a band-aid on the inside of her elbow. She didn't want to talk to us at all when I asked her if she found out how far along she was. </div>
That's what happens. You get a chance to talk to someone, then they go in, get re-affirmed that they are making a "good decision", and they don't want to talk to us when they come back out.<br />

I appreciated Pastor Dunfee being out there. He admonishes the men to stand up and be men, to protect the lives of the weak and defenseless. He gives them pictures of what life may be like down the road post abortion. He said he and a friend of his are going to come out the second Saturday of every month.<br />

I read Psalm 139 again and also read a gospel tract aloud to those in the waiting room.<br />

This morning before going out to the Mill, I posted on Facebook what I was geting ready to do, just like every Saturday I go to the Mill.<br />
<br />
I came under some fire and a debate got started because of my post.<br />
Here's the post in it's entirety, if you care to read:<br />

You are not the God, who will judge these women for their "mistakes"... If you're Christian, you're going against many scripts in the bible. "Thou shall NOT judge.". Believe in your own ways, but it's not up to you. You can have your opinions, believe in what you want. But going to protest and judge, is going against everything you're trying to be about. God gave WILL to all to make their own choices, right from wrong. God will judge these people. NOT YOU. Why don't you worry about starvation, the homeless, people who are truly in need. Not people that GOD gave their own right to make their own mistakes. HE will deal with them. Plus, if God really wanted to stop these women from doing these things, he has the power to do so, right? So, just leave it up to him.. smh.</span></span></span></div>

Those babies, will go and be with their lord. The Lord wouldn't bring them to him, if they weren't supposed to go. God will stop things, if he wants to. He lets us make our own decisions.

(What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? James 2:14) Yes, He can stop things in His own way if He chooses to, but who's to say that Ashley or anyone else who goes to an Abortion Mill to counsel and pray for those who go inside are not being used by Him?

Consider Psalm 37:30: "The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment." Here, judgement by a righteous man is in the same vein with wisdom. Leviticus 19:15-17 says, "Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him." This text suggests we are supposed to judge and rebuke our neighbors when the situation demands it. </span><br id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28784986}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[1]" /><span id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28784986}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[2]">No man has any right to define what is right and wrong, but God has already done it. He says "You shall not murder". Therefore, with that command in mind, we have the Biblical right to defend the rights of the unborn in this context.</span></span></span></div>

Of course you don't agree with that. I'm just painting a different picture with the same concept. No one goes there so that they can judge them and give them a piece of their mind. It's to speak up for the babies who are about to be sucked out of their mother's womb and thrown away. If that's already taken place, the women are often in need of serious healing, and certainly forgiveness. Ashley and the others offer resources for them to find those things. </span><br id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28785187}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[1]" /><span id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28785187}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[2]">If the men and women walking into the building were carrying their babies in their arms instead of in the mother's womb, I imagine this conversation would not be taking place at all.</span></span></span></div>

You are lashing out based on your misperception. Ashley is not there to judge these women. She is there to offer them truth and to defend the lives of the children they are carrying. If a man attacks a child in a public place, no one calls the person who jumps in to defend that child a hypocrite. The unborn child is just that, a child, in need of defense. Abortion is wrong, it is murder. And you are right, God will judge. Do you not think that the God who could stop abortion if He wanted is equally capable of ending hunger or providing homes for the homeless? Defending the weak and providing for the needy are both commanded in scripture.</span></span></span></div>

The people like Ashley who go there are doing so to offer help to these women and their babies. They even offer the same compassion to these women after they come out of the clinic after having an abortion. Perhaps you did not realize that.</span></span></span></div>

I'm not going to keep saying what I know is right. All gay people are damned to hell as well, right? Because that's not right with The Lord? This is truly humorous to me. Of course someone would try to stop a person shooting someone! That's not even relevant to this scenario. You can't make choices for other people. Only god can. It's a woman's choice. Is it a good one? No! But you can't go screaming in someone's face about it. Worry about your own self. You don't know what these women are going through! Rape, molestation? Are they supposed to carry these children? Hell no! What's next? I'm an unwed mother, I'm going to hell right? No. Unless you know the reason why a woman chooses this, you have no right to go and make her feel worse about something she probably already doesn't want to do. Get real.</span></span></span></div>

We've never met, but I help the program that Ashley works with. I think that you point out a very good reminder that all of us must do our work with a loving and humble heart. What we do at the clinics is not protest or condemn or judge (and if we do, it is wrong and we need correction). What we do is try to be there as an affirming voice of love, so that perhaps a woman who feels no love has someone to try to help her. Maybe this forum on Facebook isn't the best place to have a good conversation about what we do and why we do it, but I can see in you an exceptionally strong desire to love your neighbors without regard to their choices. It shows me an inspiring light of goodness inside of you, that I think we can all learn from! I'd happily talk with you about what we do (and I know Ashley would too!), perhaps it would be helpful for both of us. You, or anyone reading this, is welcome to email me at Beth @ Gcrtl.org (remove spaces) or call me at 614-***-****</span></span></span></div>

We know we ought to; others have already quoted Scripture on that point. I'll offer one more--the very same passage that you originally brought up--Matthew 7:1. And now I'd like you to look at the very next few verses, so Matthew 7:1-5. Notice how in verse 5 Jesus makes it clear that his intent was not for us to NEVER judge, but that we judge ourselves first.</span><br id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28786177}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[4]" /><br id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28786177}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[5]" /><span id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28786177}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[6]">To follow what you said about the starving and homeless with your own logic there's no need to reach out to them because we should feel free to assume that they are in their current circumstances due to their own foolishness and sin or that of others, whom we should not be implicitly judging with the offer of our assistance.</span><br id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28786177}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[7]" /><br id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28786177}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[8]" /><span id=".reactRoot[110].[1][4][1]{comment10151650576379524_28786177}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[9]">Ashley is reaching out to those in need--the babies, the mothers, and anyone else with them. Others have tried pointing this out to you, to which you responded by denying a class of victims, insulting those who responded politely to your inflammatory remarks, and changing the subject. Sounds to me like you judge what is right and wrong when it suits you and try to distract and redirect when others clearly outline solid reasons for what they believe. All we've heard from you on that front is one misrepresented verse and, "I'm not going to keep saying what I know is right." You've made no attempt to discuss the issue by respectfully laying out a clear argument for your position. Not only are you judging, it seems to be your sole purpose in commenting.</span></span></span></div>

Noelle makes a good point, that sometimes in our love for life sometimes many of us approach things the wrong way. That point is valid, even if in her passion she is not perfect either. None of us is. What we can all agree on is that Ashley is out doing her best to help women who need help, women who are celebrating Mother's Day weekend by terminating the life of her unborn child. It is no wonder passions are high, but let's not forget the point that truly matters. <span class="emoticon emoticon_smile" style="background-image: url(http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yZ/r/UhMLg0EVnbW.png); background-position: 0px -1211px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;" title=":)"></span></span></span></span></div>

Hey girl.<br />I was just able to read through all the comments.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
I hope this can come across as a civil conversation. I know it's hard to get a feel for a person's tone online. <span class="emoticon emoticon_smile" style="background-image: url(http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yZ/r/UhMLg0EVnbW.png); background-position: 0px -1211px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 16px;" title=":)"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
We live in a free country, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I am thankful we have that freedom here.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
I am a Christian, I believe God's Word entirely and do not believe that the Bible contradicts itself.<br />And I'm not a scholar by any means. But the the Bible has a lot to say about children, protecting the weak, etc.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
So lets just talk facts:<br />Science tells us that life begins at conception. Once the sperm has penetrated the egg, a completely unique human being is being developed. The baby already has their own genetic makeup and even the gender of the baby is determined in those first moments of life.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
What is abortion?<br />It is the termination of a pregnancy. What are women pregnant with? A baby. A human being.<br />So abortion terminates the life of a human being growing and developing in the womb of the mother.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
So when a human life is taken from it by force ( by whatever means), that life has been killed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Abortion kills babies in the womb, thus equating abortion with murder.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
So, now that we established those facts, what is there to say about the legalized killing of defenseless human beings in the womb?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Like I said previously, I am a Christian. Therefore my life is dictated by God's Word. I want to please God in all I do, so I follow what the Bible says to the best of my ability. And this isn't to say I've got it all right either. I sin every day, and fall short of glorifying God every day.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
With that said, I would like to share some Scripture out of the Bible that give some reasoning as to why I go to the Abortion Clinics on Saturdays:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
"Thou shall not murder". Exodus 20:13. That is one of God's commandments.<br />God hates the shedding of innocent blood- Proverbs 6:17.<br />Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. Proverbs 24:11</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.<br />Psalm 82:3<br />Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die.<br />Open your mouth, judge righteously,<br />And plead the cause of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
So, just based on those verses, the Bible has some things to say about standing up for those who cannot defend themselves.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
I will tell you why I go to the Abortion Clinic:<br />These women have a wide variety of situations they are in, and I don't claim to have any idea what they are faced with. BUT, there are SO many other options available to these women who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy! I'm there to offer those resources to them and to help them see they do not have to kill their baby.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
And yes, most people do not want the help I offer them. I have been spit at, cussed out, ignored. I don't go out there for my own enjoyment. I've been out there in 15 degree weather, snow on the ground trying to help these women because abortion kills babies and hurts women. I care about these women, I care about their babies.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
It is so hard to watch a woman come out of the clinic after she has had an abortion. I have seen women in tears. I try to give them information about post abortive healing. I offer to pray with them. It makes me sad to see them devastated, I tried to give them help.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Tell me, how is offering help and hope, in Jesus name, being judgmental?<br />Jesus gave His life on the cross for the sins of the world.<br />These women are hurting, and I want to help them and let them know if they repent of their sins and save the life of their baby, God will take care of them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Noelle, you know being a single mom is a hard job, and I commend you for that! But tell me, could you imagine life without your precious daughter?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Anyway, I guess that's all I will share.<br />I'd be glad to answer any other questions you may have.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Take care Noelle.<br />And, by the way, I love watching your YouTube videos! God has blessed you with a beautiful voice! Keep it up!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Love,<br />Ashley</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
So, I guess I'll end with that.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Keep fighting the fight!</div>

I forgot to take pictures, sorry.<br />
<br />We were spread thin with sidewalk counselors. Kim, Angie, Mary Beth, Greg and Jeremy.<br />
4 or 5 Friars came out with Diane to pray.<br />
<br />
There was more traffic going in and out of the building than had been the past few weeks. :(<br />
<br />
More rejection, more people ignoring us.<br />
<br />
One young lady that was coming out of the building had already had an abortion. This was her follow up appointment. I offered her some post-abortive healing info. She said, "I'm alright, I'll forget about it" and got inside her car.<br />
<br />
One man came out several times to smoke while his girlfriend was inside having their child killed. I walked up to him and started to ask if his baby was inside there. He told me he didn't appreciate me talking to him and judging him. I told him I'm not here to judge, I want to help you. He went on to say, "If this becomes illegal, do you know how many back alley abortions there are going to be? Please don't talk to me." He had his sunglasses on and seemed to be sad.<br />
<br />
I never know how much to press people.<br />
<br />
Probably the most memorable/dramatic part of the day is when a small entourage of people pulled up in a small white car. Out came three adult women, and a young girl with a young boy. What appeared to be the mom, put her arm up against the young girl, blocking her from us. <br />
The girl was pregnant at 13, her boyfriend was 15.As she and her boyfriend walked in I called out to her, telling her about adoption. The mother of the 13 year old was very, very angry. She was screaming, yelling, cussing at us. I knew she wasn't angry with any of us. She has had a horrible life. Got pregnant at 14, 16, 17 and 19 ( or something like that). At 14 she was forced to marry the 19 year old that got her pregnant. He beat her until she was in a coma. She said her daughter's life would be over if she had this baby. And if she wasn't bringing her daughter in, she would be out on the sidewalk "protesting" with us.<br />
Angie took some video of it. I'm unable to put it up yet, but hopefully I will have it up soon.<br />
<br />
The mom went out to her car to smoke. Her daughter and boyfriend came out to the car briefly. As they were walking back up, I handed her a ministry packet ( graciously provided to me by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WhBi80x9ak" target="_blank">Patte Smith</a> ) that included the <a href="http://www.tinyhandsbook.com/" target="_blank">Tiny Hands </a><br />booklet. Her boyfriend was trying to pull her away, but she stopped to take the information. Gah! I was stumped as to what to say to her, the whole situation was so intense! I told her what was in the booklet and to please read the information.<br />
<br />
Oh please pray for this young girl and her family. My heart aches for this girl. Her life will be forever changed and I pray she cries out to Jesus and repents of her sins and finds hope and healing that can only come from Jesus Christ!<br />
<br />
On the up side, I did have the opportunity for a young lady, "K" to follow me down to Kinder Women's Center! She is pregnant, doesn't know how far along she is, has one other child. Kim had talked to her initially. "K" was only there for a consultation. Kim told her to save her money and go down to Kinder, everything there is free and they will <i>truly </i>help her. She said Founders makes its money off of killing babies. "K" looked at her friend and I offered for her to follow me down to Kinder. They both got in their car and followed me down.<br />
The counselors at Kinder were having a parenting class and there were at least 20 women in the class! I was so glad "K" and her friend got to see all the support these women were getting. The counselor, Molly, that greeted us wanted to talk with me privately about "K"'s situation. I told her I wasn't the one primarily talking to her. By the time I got back down to the lobby, another counselor had taken "K" and her friend back to a room. I asked Molly to give my number to her. <br /><br />It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Maybe just because I was only the one that provided the directions. And, I will have no idea what will happen with "K". Kinder likes to protect the privacy of the women they see, so they will not be able to disclose any information to me. Please pray for her. <br />
<br />
After I got back to Founders, I began reading God's Word. I took great comfort knowing that even though these people did not want to talk to me, they were hearing God's Powerful Words being spoken. The angry mom as she smoked in her car, the man that came out several times to smoke, they heard God's Word, and hopefully saw that I was there to love them, and not to judge. But, even if they didn't, I'm not there to appease them.<br />
<br />
I read Psalm 139, then (inspired by the performance of Nathan Clark George at my church the night before) from Isaiah 58-60:<br />

<br />
TODAY, (Tuesday, April 23) I had the opportunity to take part in my FIRST Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) at Columbus State Community College! You can read more about GAP <a href="http://www.abortionno.org/college-campus-outreach-gap/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
My friends Sarah Cleveland and Darius Hardwick were out there. I got to put faces with names among some of my Abolitionist friends on Facebook, and meet some more new people! One included a woman who brought her new baby girl she adopted from an abortion minded mom! It was great to be with a group of people committed to Christ and the work of fighting for pre-born babies.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was a smaller scale than what I had seen online.<br />

<br />
Basically, I passed out brochures regarding abortion that contained a Gospel Tract as well. If people stopped, or were looking at the display, I would ask what they thought about it, what they thought about abortion. I did get the bird, BUT I also had quite a few encouraging conversations! The Lord knew I needed some encouragement, so He brought it to me. :) <br />
<br />
When I first started handing out brochures and trying to talk to people, I had the anxious urgency I normally do when I'm at Founders. After a couple minutes, I realized I'm just here to educate people, I'm not standing between life and death for a preborn baby. So, once I got over that, I had a good time. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D-yaxli-hTs/UXsPQIycqDI/AAAAAAAAAJA/xHuyz9ffrAc/s1600/IMG_6303.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D-yaxli-hTs/UXsPQIycqDI/AAAAAAAAAJA/xHuyz9ffrAc/s1600/IMG_6303.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It was interesting how the people that were obviously for abortion had no interest in engaging in conversation. The people that were "pro-life" or against abortion were very open to talking.<br />
One professor stormed by the display saying, "Don't you have anything else better to do with your time?! Just leave! No one wants to see this!"<br />
Darius talked to a math professor who thinks human beings are just as equal in value as cows....... <br />
<br />
Yea, college campus. You'll have that.<br />
<br />
The first person I engaged with in conversation was a black woman with no top teeth, probably in her late 40's, early 50's. She takes care of her 5 grandchildren (I think that's right. The oldest is 16) and mother who is in diapers. And she's a student at Columbus State. It's hard work, but she says she wouldn't change it for anything. She was horrified by the display. We talked for quite some time. She spoke about all the options and resources out there for moms with unplanned pregnancies. Abortion is never an option in her mind. She said you can drop off your baby to a Police Station without having to worry about anything, so many people can't have children and would love to adopt! We got on the topic of sin and how messed up the world is. THEN, she said something I had never heard anyone say: "You know, so what if this child grows up to be a murderer, give him the opportunity."<br />
That has just stuck so much with me.<br />
I've heard people say, "what if my child grows up to be a criminal?". And of course, we try to throw a positive spin on in, " but your child could grow up to be a brain surgeon!!"<br />
So what if they grow up to be a murderer, give them the opportunity.<br />
<br />

<br />
Okay, moving on to conversation #2:<br />
Alissa walked over to one of the tables in front of the display, cigarette in hand, getting out her laptop. I asked her what she thought about the display. She's pro-life.<br />
She told me she has two children, one 5 1/2, the other 20 months old.<br />
I said, "And you're going to school?"<br />
"Yea, and working full time".<br />
She said she thinks abortion is a cop-out. Her mom was single, worked, went to school. People are just lazy.<br />
I gave her a high five.<br />
<br />
Conversation #3:<br />
I noticed a guy standing and starring at the display, so I walked over and asked what he was thinking.<br />
"I think you need to get a new hobby."<br />
I asked what he thought about abortion.<br />
"It doesn't affect me. I don't have an opinion."<br />
Well, I wasn't really sure how to respond to that, so I just walked away. Apathy...<br />
<br />
Conversation #4:<br />
I think this was my favorite conversation!! I was elated after I talked to these women!<br />
Two black women (probably around my age) were standing by looking at the signs, so I asked them what they thought about it. They said it was awful.<br />
One of them told me she had 2 children. She got pregnant shortly after having her first. She went to an abortion clinic to have an abortion. She didn't want to. There were people out in front praying ( I assume, or sidewalk counseling), and she looked at the people walking in the building. They were yelling at the people on the sidewalk. She was in her car looking at those going in the building and thought, "I'm not like these people." And she left! Her 2nd child is 4 years old now and she is so glad she didn't get an abortion!! I told them I go down to Founders trying to offer help to women and her story just blessed me so much! We then talked about how women have a lot of emotional issues after an abortion. We talked about how we don't have the right to take a life, it's worth it to live with some embarassment in the begining, than a lifetime of regretting an abortion.<br />
It was fantastic.<br />
<br />

Conversation #5<br />
Kim, a beautiful black woman, probably in her late 30's/early 40's. She couldn't get over the pictures! She looked at the aborted baby and said how beautiful she was. We talked about our worth in Christ, we were bought at a high price, these precious babies are made in His image... just another wonderful conversation. I was so encouraged to hear another woman speak about her love for the Lord and how she wants to honor Him in her body. She just recently broke up with her boyfriend because he did not value her like God does. She knows her worth in Christ! She knows she has value, that she is a treasure and no man will take that from her until she is walking down the aisle, waiting to say "I do".<br />
<br />
I was just SO encouraged by all these conversations!! Discouragement began to creep in as I faced constant rejection at the abortion mill on Saturdays. The Lord revived my soul and gave me some fuel to addd to my fire!!<br />
<br />
GAP was awesome! I hope to do more of these type of events whenever possible. The abortion mill is the last and final stop for a woman and her child. Educating on the value of human life and the evil of abortion is a great way to fight for the end of aboriton!!<br />
<br />
Created Equal and Greater Columbus Right to Life will be hosting an (free) Apologetics class on Saturday, June 1st from 8:30-12:30. If you want to learn how to build a strong case against abortion, you should attend the class.<br />
You can contact the director of GCRTL Beth, beth@gcrtl.org.<br />

Woot!<br />

It's past mid April and there were snow flurries!! Windy and cold and miserable out there. The sun would make an appearance from time to time, but mainly hid behind the clouds.<br />
<br />
We had several newbies out there today actively participating! We had the normal seasoned pack of sidewalk counselors there as well.<br />
<br />
Because we're getting more folks out there, we are probably going to be able to have two shifts out on the sidewalk! We haven't really been able to stay for when women come out after their abortions. Occasionally a couple will filter out, but we aren't able to talk to them all. So this is good news!! The Lord is raising up more sidewalk counselors to better serve these men and women!!<br />
<br />
We all had a couple interesting interactions today.<br />

<br />
When I got there, the "fill in" abortionist was already there and he was talking to quite a few of the sidewalk counselors. I had to step back. I'm not ready to face him or talk to him. I heard him quoting Scripture and twisting it to justify his actions. I just stared at him, seeing the innocent blodd dripping from his hands, knowing that once he walks past the door, he will proceed with his normal business of killing babies. It was surreal.<br />
I can't remember if<br />
<br />
Then, one of the newbies, Nikki (?) saw a woman walking in SHE KNEW! The woman worked at the library Nikki goes to. She and her boyfriend (I assume) came out after not being in there very long. She said she was here for a friend. <i>Buuutt...</i> as Nikki and Kim talked to her, it seemed more apparent she was just giving them a story. She had sun glasses on and you could tell she was crying. And, she had on loose fitting pants, flip flops and a couple bags with her.<br />
SO, not entirely sure of the situation, but they did leave. And they weren't inside for any amount of time for anything to happen... turn away?<br />
I told Nikki she has a wonderful opportunity to reach out to this woman and love on her.<br />
<br />
I tried to talk to a mother/daughter when they went in and came out. I'm thinking it was a follow up appoitnment. The mom turned around and tols me it's none of my business and to please leave them alone.<br />
I got spit at, that was a new experience. She was very far away from me, but as I'm asking to speak with her, offering her help, she turns and spits towards me.<br />
<br />
I read Psalm 139 to the people in the waiting room. I told them even while they are in there, God is knitting their child together in their womb and they are still providing nourishment to their baby. We are here to help, God knows their situation.<br />

In closing, I'd like you to watch this video. John Barros who is full time out at Orlando Women's Center got the opportunity to talk with a woman who had aborted her twin babies. She speaks about how it has changed her life and she is so thankful for her beautiful son she now has. She would do anything to take back what she did.<br />
Abortion is real. It hurts women and kills babies.<br />
<br />

<br />
A LOT of my friends/church family came out that Saturday! Pastor Mark, his daughter Elizabeth, Bonnita, Christina and her two year old Christian, Rachel and her dad. Danae told me earlier in the week she would like to come down soon. She and her S-I-L Charity (who came down with her sister Elizabeth a couple months ago) drove down that morning from Canton! They left about 5:30 in the morning!<br />
<br />
Fellow SWC included Mark, Angie, Marybeth, Tracy, Paul was there for a bit, a couple friars came too.<br />

I met a couple new people out there too! When I first got there, I was in the back alley and heard some yelling coming from up front, so I ran up there to see what was going on. Pastor Dunfee was on the sidewalk pleading to those in the waiting room. He was speaking words of life, and calling to mind how much these men and women's lives will change if they murder their baby. I gave him a high five. So excited to have someone out there speaking with urgency!<br />
He is a Pastor in Warsaw. He used to come out to Founders on a regular basis. There is a strip club in his community that he goes to on Friday nights to witness to people out there. Between doing that, then getting up early to come to Founders (it's about an hour drive for him) wore him out. So he's back at it, just once a month now. <br />
<br />
I felt like I was all over the place, trying to keep track of all my friends! Pastor Mark dove right in and everyone he was able to talk to, he told them about his adopted boy, Valiant. <br />
Valiant's biological mom was in law school, already had a child and was abortion minded. She went to a clinic to have an abortion, but someone out on the sidewalk was able to talk with her and tell her about adoption. The day he was born, their family packed up and drove down to South Carolina to get him from the hospital! He has brothers and sisters that love him and he has a good life!<br />
<br />
Charity, Bonnita, Danae were in the back alley trying to talk to the employees. A lot of cold hearted women.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">4 human beings are present in this picture. :)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
I'm not ready to talk to the employees yet, or the abortionist- Harvey Blank. I don't know why, I'm just not ready. Not that they pay attention anyway.<br />
<br />
Mr. Sunshine came back with his wife/girlfriend for an abortion. I pleaded for them to not do this as they walked to the front door. The woman went inside as he stayed out to smoke. I asked him why he came back. He started yelling and cussing at me. He's not pregnant, he's not here for an abortion, why can't I leave him the %^*% alone. I replied, "But your girl is in there, I'm trying to help your girl!". He started to say he was going to come down there (threatening tone). I felt the bear that is my pastor come up behind me and the man stepped back. Love my pastor.<br />
<br />
It is SO hard for me to be gracious with people like that. I bristle up and want to fight back. <br />
<br />
I was thankful for Pastor Mark's sermon that following Sunday. "There but for the grace of God, go I." I think that quote is by John Bunyan.<br />
It really is true!! These people are without the grace and mercy of God in their lives. How my heart should ache for them! How I should reach out to them in love and compassion and offer the only Hope we have in this world: Jesus Christ!!<br />

<br />
Pastor Mark reminded us all we would be going into an abortion mill, we would be on the street corner, we would be at the bar... But by God's AMAZING GRACE He called us out of that darkness! <br />
<br />
SO, the Lord is continually teaching me that as I'm down there on the sidewalk. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
On Monday, the 15th, Bonnita and I attended Greater Columbus Right to Life Celebration of Sidewalk Counselors. <br />
I saw many familiar faces there! We were all laughing because we're not used to seeing each other in normal clothes. We're always in our "sidewalk garb" when we are together.<br />
<br />
Paul and Tamra spoke about their experiences being involved in this ministry. I really appreciated them sharing 1 Corinthians 3:7- So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.<br />
<br />
We had Father Wagner talk to us about getting outside our comfort zones- because being out on the sidewalk will most certainly do that! <br />
<br />
THEN... I was asked to share my experiences. Beth encouraged me that I wasn't giving a speech, but sharing with friends. :) There were maybe 20 ish people in attendance. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. <br />
Anyway, here is what I shared with them:<br />

I am a member of a Reformed, Family Integrated church in
Washington Courthouse. My pastor and his wife encouraged me to see how our
church could get more involved in the fight for the unborn. A lot of research
later, I found out it was called “sidewalk counseling”. After a quick Google
search on SWC, Greater Columbus Right to Life popped up. I checked their
calendar, saw there was a group out at Founders on Saturdays, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>showed up and have been coming since a couple weeks before Christmas!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
How do I wrap up my experiences in a short time frame?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, it really is impossible, but I will do my best. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have really enjoyed talking to folks who are just passing
by. Some think it’s a woman’s right to have an abortion, but most people I have
spoke with are devastated by what goes on in the building. One man in
particular, Mr. Ralph, passes by at least once a day. Last week he asked me how
our praying was going. I told him there are a lot of people praying! He thanked
me for talking with him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the hardest things for me has been seeing women come
out after they had an abortion. The reality sinks in of what just happened. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She was pregnant when she went in there, and
now she’s not.</i> One woman looked sick and could not walk very well as she
came out. Some women are an emotional wreck, but I would say the majority walk
out with their heads hung low in shame and guilt. The reality they murdered
their precious baby is more apparent now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How has being a sidewalk counselor changed me?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has really changed how I look at people in general. I
smile more when interacting with people at the gas station, or grocery store. Everyone
has their own story, their own journey they are on. How can I be a Light, how
can I help them? I have come to believe children are a blessing and a gift from
the Lord, but more so now- what a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">treasure</i>
they truly are. I wonder about these children, and how they came into this
world. Were their parents excited when they found out they were going to have a
child? Did they consider abortion? Were they worried or afraid of being a
parent? Had they been trying to conceive for a while? <br />
I also wonder what the child’s worldview is. Will he or she grow up to value
life? Will they see abortion as an option or an abomination? Will it all be
relative, or something unthinkable?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
About 10 years ago, I took my friend to Planned Parenthood
on East Main St.
We both knew it was wrong, and killing a baby. She couldn’t see any other way. No
one was out on the sidewalk to offer her hope. No one was out there to confront
me of being an accomplice in murder. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But there are now. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Abortion will end when ALL God’s people rise up to defend
those being taken away to the slaughter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We go out to the sidewalk to fight the Lord’s battle against
the seed of the serpent. The Good News is that the gates of hell will NOT
prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ. We need to meet Jesus there, out on
the front lines.</div>

So, unfortunately, this was probably the first time I was under dressed for the sidewalk. Oh well, ya live and ya learn.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">The Hatfields came out, along with Elizabeth (14), my mom (the prayer warrior!), and Shelby (15) came out for the first time.</span><br />

Christina has such a sweet and kind demeanor, and she is aggressive in trying to help these women. Qualities that are much needed out on the sidewalk.</span></span><div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Fellow Sidewalk Counselors this week included: Marybeth, Angie, Tracy, Kim, Susie and Tony was back from maternity leave (his wife just had a baby :) ). A couple Friars came out as well, and Cecile came a little later. </span><br /><br /><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I got a chance to talk to Susie for a bit. She's been out on the sidewalk on a regular basis since the SWC training class. She has told everyone out there she had an abortion.</span><br /><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The first person that arrived she tried to talk to. As they walked away, ignoring her, tears filled her eyes and she said, "I hate this, I don't want to be here!" </span><br /><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">She had an abortion the first year it became legal. Drove out of state to have it done. She just wants these women to understand how difficult life is after an abortion. And, obviously, encourage them not to do it.</span><br /><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I told her she is needed out here. She can identify and relate to these women in a way most of us can not. My mom spent some time talking to and encouraging her.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Traffic going in and out of the building seemed less today. Unfortunately, no lives were sparred. There was a couple I recognized from last week that came for her post abortion follow up. I called out to the man telling him I remembered them and I have some post abortive healing information I would like to give him.

She had a story that as she continued to tell it, was hard for me to believe. She was haughty and very matter a fact that she was here to kill her grandchild. Her daughter had lost 30lbs since the begining of her pregnancy (Grandma said her daughter was 2 weeks pregnant). Her daughter already had $1 million worth of testing, and the docters said her baby was killing the mom. So it was mom or baby. </span><br /><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">She was sad it had to be, she has 8 grand children already, but she's going to have her grandbaby killed and that's just how it's going to be. </span><br /><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">We asked her if she had got second opinions, my mom told her the risks of abortion and her daughter could die from the abortion. My mom went back and forth with this woman (my mom has been an R.N. for over 30 years), but nothing could change her mind. She was going to kill her grandbaby (her own words). </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">My mom asked if she could pray with her. She obliged. As my mom began praying for her, the woman started saying, "yes. yes, yes Jesus, thank you Jesus."</span><br /><span class="yiv144474937Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was going to start praying with her, but once she started that, tears filled my eyes and I had to walk further down the sidewalk. I was so angry, I couldn't speak to her anymore. How can you thank Jesus as your daughter is inside waiting to kill your grandchild?? I didn't have much motivation to stay after that. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Elizabeth and Shelby came to me crying. They could not believe how wicked that woman was, speaking of her grandchild in that way.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>

We must be stirring things up inside. Had an employee (the gal that drives the white truck that always parks in the driveway) come out cussing at all of us out front and out back that we had to keep moving and that we couldn't just stand there. Sorry that the young girls heard some f-bombs. They must have said something to Officer Regina because she called back-up...Detective Roger Dickinson. He assured us that we were doing what we legally could do....which we already knew we were. Apparently the workers need a lesson in the law. He did say that if there is ever a new officer out there, they may not be totally familiar with where all we can go and not much experience with "protestors" and the employees might take advantage of that. He said if the officers ever ask us to do something that we know isn't right....just do it and call him or one of the other detectives and they can come down. Nice to know they have our back. I also noticed someone looking out one of the front windows (not the front door) when I was talking to a lady. Gave her a little wave to let her know I saw her. POWER OF PRAYER!!!!</span></div>

A couple of them I met being out at Founders, the rest I had only met on Facebook. So it was nice to connect with them, hear their stories and get to know all of them a little better.</div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
A lot of people they met at the convention were very encouraged at how active they were in the fight against abortion.</div>

I had my ideas of people who hold signs in public places featuring aborted and dismembered babies, signs with "protesting" words on them. I just always looked at "those people" as hyperactive angry protestors. </div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
At least with this group of AHA folks, that is absolutly not the case. These folks <i>love</i> the Lord and want to obey His word in <i>all</i> areas of their lives. They are passionate about saving the unborn. They do more than just vote every 4 years, go to March for Life, write a check. (not to discount these things, they are a piece of the puzzle) They labor for these babies. </div>
<div style="font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Holding graphic images of aborted babies in public arenas is based on Ephesians 5:11- Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead, expose them. </div>

Honestly, ending abortion needs to be on the hearts and minds of every Christian. Going out to the local abortion Mill is one way to do it. But reaching people waaay before they get to those gates of hell is important too.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><div style="font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

I'm going to be participating (for a few hours) in a Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) at Columbus State Community College. There will be a big display that will correlate Abortion with the Jewish Holocaust. We'll all just stand in front of the signs and talk to people as they walk by. I don't really know what to expect, but it will be another opportunity to learn and add more fuel to my anti-abortion fire. :) I'm excited for this opportunity to seed the culture and expose abortion in hopes people's hearts and minds can be changed.</div>

<br />
Spring is here, and I'm trying to figure out the appropriate attire for being out at the Mill. I don't need my gigantic black down coat anymore, or my gray toboggan with a big fuzzy puff on top. Or my snow boots. I tested out some shoes I bought at Meijer, they didn't suit well for the concrete sidewalk.<br />
<br />
Laura and Elizabeth came out with me today. We also had Kim, Mark, Marybeth, Angie, Tamra and Paul along with Jeremy and a man (sorry, I forgot his name) who had signed up for the SWC training class. This was his second week out observing. He is also involved in Human Trafficking ministry. The abortion industry and human trafficking kind of go hand in hand. :(<br />
<br />
I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but Jeremy RIDES HIS BIKE there from Reynoldsburg. According to Google maps, that's about an hour one way. Sometimes he takes the bus home, today he rode his bike back home.<br />
<br />
It seemed a bit "slower" today. We were able to talk to quite a few people. Unfortunately they all went inside.<br />
<br />
Paul and Tamra stayed primarily in the back. A couple workers came out to smoke. Paul got to talk to one girl for a bit last week. She works in the "sad room". The sad room is where the employee has to piece back and account for all the body parts of the baby after an abortion.<br />
Paul shared the Gospel message to the two women. Offered the one girl the book, "Case for Christ" by Lee Stroble. He told them it was about a man who was an Atheist that researched the account of Christ and converted to Christianity because of it.<br />
The women pretty much ignored him.<br />
<br />
Kim talked to a girl and her friend out front for a minute. She was there for an abortion. Kim told her what happens to the baby during an abortion and the girl was very distraught after that. She and her friend went back to their car and called someone.<br />
The two went inside and a little while later, a woman came up yelling and cussing at us. That woman was more than likely the girl's mother. These are assumptions we're making, but we figure she probably called her mom and told her what we were saying to her, and she came out to reassure her daughter and give us what for. So sad. Paul told her we care more about her daughter and grand daughter more than she does. It's the TRUTH!<br />
<br />
The first couple that came in when I got there, Mark tried to talk to, he followed them all the way up front. The guy was angry and was yelling at Mark to go away.<br />
Mark tried to admonish a man who brought in his daughter for an abortion. He came out, sat in his truck and read a book. Mark was telling him to stand up and be a man, how can he read a book while his grand child is being aborted?<br />
Mark also tried to talk to a man who was with his wife/girlfriend? He said she was raped and he didn't want to raise some psychopath's child. He said he was a Christian (while cussing up a storm) and he was just there to see what their options are. He said he knew about Kinder and was going to go there also. I told him later when they came out to smoke that Kinder would refund any money they spent there if she carries the baby to term. As he pulled out a wad of cash he said he hasn't given anyone his money yet. I'm just letting you know sir, that place down there won't charge you for anything. He had quite an attitude and a sailor's mouth, but I wouldn't have considered him hostile. As weird as that sounds.<br />
<br />
Angie talked with a girl who came in with a friend/sister, and mother? She was told she had some sort of cancer and it was basically "her or the baby". Several people told her to get a second opinion, that these medical diagnosis are often wrong as far as the life of the baby is concerned.<br />
<br />
I'm re posting my sister Laura's experience from her Facebook page:<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Praise God I had a voice so I could talk to one mom.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">She was coming in to find out her options. She's 4 weeks pregnant and has a blood clotting disorder (Protein S deficiency/disorder), and thyroid disorder (I have an under active thyroid disorder as well), and she said the medication she normally takes f</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">or the blood clotting disorder can cause birth defects, BUT she could get shots (heparin injections) during her pregnancy. I shared with her about a mom I knew who had multiple sclerosis and gave birth to a healthy baby (her Doctor was very concerned for her & the baby's health during her pregnancy), I also told her of mom's I knew who were told that they should abort because their baby could have a health problem/birth defect, and they ended up delivering a perfectly healthy baby. I told her that with technology in the hospitals these days there is a lot they can do to help women and babies with complications, and encouraged her to do her research when she got home because the abortion facility might not give her all the facts. She did say that she has another appointment with her "home" doctor, so I took that to mean she was probably getting a second opinion, and we encouraged her TO get a second opinion.<br />There are a lot of routes I could've taken in that conversation, but I just decided to leave it at that. I reassured her that those out on the sidewalk aren't here to harass women, but to help them and give them resources. She seemed to be appreciative of the conversation.<br />The counselor I was standing next to on the sidewalk actually has a sister that had a similar blood-clotting disorder. She had 1 still birth, another miscarriage, and then found out that her blood clotting disorder was the reason she couldn't carry a pregnancy to term, so she started getting the shots, and finally was able to give birth to a boy, who I believe is 3 years old now.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /></span></span>
I was able to talk to a few other people walking by on the street. They all were horrified by what was going on in that building.<br />
I also talked with "Mr. Ralph". I usually see him walking by there on Saturdays. I formally introduced myself. He's probably in his 70's or 80's. He lives at a shelter close by and has been there for about a year and a half. There are three other men he lives with as well. He likes to get out and walk, go to Wendy's about twice a day. I asked him if he had trusted Jesus with his life. He said he didn't really know about that, but he prays. So , I'm sure I'll get to talk with him more. He seems to be a sweet old man.<br />
<br />
I had a chance to talk with a Mexican woman. She rode up in a taxi. She was there for a consultation. Her body language seemed like she was undecided and really didn't want to be going in there. She has two children and their father is in Mexico. She has to work to take care of her children and she can't take care of another one. I told her about Kinder, adoption, the emotional trauma she will experience after an abortion, increased risk of breast cancer. I told her about abortion procedures based on how far along she was in pregnancy, that it is murdering a human life. I offered to walk down to Kinder with her. She thanked me and went inside. I told her I would be out here if she wanted to talk afterwards. When she came back out to get in the taxi she didn't want to talk to me at all.<br />
<br />
<br />
While I was reading a guy came out and walked down to me after I asked if we could talk. He was in there with a friend whose wife was in their for an abortion. I gave him information about Kinder, adoption, I told him abortion is murdering an innocent human being. I explained what happens in an abortion procedure. His eyes got big and he sounded a bit shocked and said something like that is bad. I asked him if he could get his friend out to come talk to me. He did. Neither of them could speak English very well. I tried talking to his friend, they started speaking in Spanish to each other and walked back inside. WE NEED SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO SPEAKS SPANISH WELL!!!<br />
<br />
I began reading aloud from Ephesians 2 and talking about how tomorrow we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, Friday we remembered His death on the cross. It got broken up a few times because of other people coming in and out I tried to talk to.<br />
<br />

It was about noon and we were getting ready to head out and a girl walked out in tears, crying really hard. Marybeth gave her a brochure on post abortive healing. I tried to catch up with them to talk. I asked if I could pray with her, and told her there is hope, healing and forgiveness in Jesus if she repents and trusts in Him. I offered her friend a brochure, she didn't take it.<br />
I burst into tears as I walked back to the group. We prayed for her that she would cry out to Jesus after this experience.<br />
<i>Abortion is murder</i>. It's not a procedure someone gets done and just goes on about their day. Your body has another human being growing and living in your womb. This is a natural process. It is <i>not</i> a natural process to have a baby ripped or vacuumed out of your body. Your body is aware of the trauma. Her tears showed that she was aware of what just happened. That she murdered her baby. That woman will never be the same.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I would be right there with those women, if it weren't for Your grace and mercy. Thank you merciful Father for saving me. Thank You for sending Your Son to die for the sins of Your people. I rejoice that Jesus did not stay in the grave, but He conquered death and reigns on His throne!</span><br />

Rain was in the forecast, but the Lord was gracious and we didn’t
have a drop while out there on the sidewalk! The roads were wet so that posed a
challenge as far as speaking with people and being able to hear them.</div>

We had SO many people out there praying!! Mark counted 55!!!</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
There
was a group praying between 7:45-9. Then there were more folks
stretching across the sidewalk praying. 4 Friars came out to pray as
well. </div>

<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Tim, Christina, Bonnita and Elizabeth came out.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
We also had Kim, Mark, Paul and a couple newbies- Marybeth and Angie. <br />Kim
brought her 14 year old niece. She was doing a presentation on abortion
for school. She couldn't help but call out to people.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
No hostile people this week. A lot of people that didn't want to talk. Most people did not take any literature either. I stayed
up front primarily with Kim.</div>

There were
two couples I recognized from last week. Last week was their consultation. This week was their appointment to kill their baby. </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
The
one couple drove up in a taxi, just like last week. Mark had talked to
them last week, showed them the fetal model, told them they were already
parents.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
I
said as they walked up, " I remember you from last week! I know you
know you're parents and you have a baby growing inside you! I will give
you a ride down to Kinder! Please don't go in there!!" </div>

They went in anyway. The guy came out to smoke later and Kim talked to him. He said "it was just a clump of germ cells." </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Kim
told him the "fetus" is just a stage of development, it does not make
the baby any less human. Her niece asked the guy if she was any less of a
human than Kim
because she was a teenager? </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
BAM! How bout them apples?!</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Sorry. Anyway...<br /><br />Mark,
Kim and a Friar talked to one man (all at separate times) bringing his
girlfriend in. He sarcastically responded to our pleas upon entering. He
parked right in front. He was smoking the whole time. His windows were
down, he heard all of us, every person we called out to.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
After
he talked to Kim, we found out this was his 3rd child to be aborted. I
think they were from different girls. He told his girlfriend he would
take care of the baby. But she wanted to get an abortion. I had more
compassion on him afterwards. I waved to him as I left.<br />AND stupid me, I had literature about post abortive healing and one directed to fathers
of aborted babies... totally slipped my mind to give him that! <br /><br />Learning experience...</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
There
was a couple that came in, the woman was 14 weeks along. We begged her
to not go in. The man she was with came out a bit later. He was her
fiance. <br />Mark talked to him for close to an hour, breaking down every stronghold and excuse the man had for killing his baby. </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
He
said he grew up in poverty, he already has a 2 year old, he and his
wife are both in college. It just wasn't the right time, he said.<br />Mark
asked him if he understood it was a human being, and he would be
killing a human being. The man responded, well, I haven't developed a
relationship with it yet.<br />Mark responded saying so it's okay for me to kill a 2 year old on the street because I have no relationship to the child?</div>

<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
This type of dialogue continued for quite some time. Mark pleaded and pleaded through tears.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
I
interjected for a bit. I grabbed Elizabeth and said to the man, " She
has a little baby brother who was adopted by a woman in your fiance's
situation! She was going to law school, already had another kid. She was
going to abort, but changed her mind. She was able to <i>choose</i>
what family her baby could go to. His name is Valiant and he has a
beautiful life with lots of people that love him!" I showed him Pastor
Mark's Facebook profile picture with Valiant and Gideon on his lap.<br /><br />He said not all kids get so lucky. And, he said he didn't want someone else raising his child.<br /><br />Mark continued on. At one point, they were both on their knees crying.<br />Mark asked him if he had any heroes in his life.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
The man
said not really.<br />Mark continued, A hero is someone who does the right thing even when it's hard. <i>You</i> could be a hero today and save your baby from death!<br /><br />Even <i>after</i>
the man admitted abortion was wrong, even after Mark said he would
raise this man's child, even after Mark broke down every strong hold...
He walked away from the building, as his girlfriend sat in the lobby,
waiting for them to call her name so she could murder her precious
child.<br /><br />Yet another testimony of God's sovereignty, and only He can make a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
There
were a few times where there wasn't any traffic coming in or out of the
building, so I began to call out to the people sitting in the waiting
room.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Again, people moved away from the door.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Remembering Laura's words of "you may have said it 10 times, but it's the first time they're hearing it", I gave a similar plea:</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br />Please
come out and talk to us. We are waiting to help you! You are a mom
already and while you sit in that room, your baby is growing and
receiving nourishment from you. Please don't do this! Have mercy on your
child! You will live a life of guilt, shame and regret. There is a
place down the road that will help you with anything you need! Please
come out!</div>

<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
There
was a Muslim family that was coming in for an appointment (by family, I
mean, husband, wife and two small girls). Kim called out to them saying
that is
no place to bring in children, they do abortions here. The wife was
pregnant and definitely looked too far along to have an abortion. I
don't know what kind of appointment she had, but they cancelled it!!
They didn't know that place did abortions. </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Although
we did not save any babies from slaughter, a worker at the mill came
out to talk to some counselors in the back about quitting!!! PRAISE THE
LORD!!! They gave her information on Hazel's Hope. A place where she can
stay and be paid while she looks for employment elsewhere!!!</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">

<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
We also had some great opportunities "seeding the culture".</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Kim and I had a chance to talk with 4 men walking by on the street about Founders.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
The conversations
usually start like this,</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
"Good morning, how are you today?"</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
"Do you know what this place does?"</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
"They kill babies."</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
"So we're here to pray and try to help these women to change their mind and keep their baby"</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
The first man we talked to got pretty fired up.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
"Why ain't ya'll going in there?!"</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
"We'll get arrested sir."</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
We told him the abortionist has been killing babies for 40 years.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
"Where he at?! Is he in there??!!"</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Kim and I are both getting kind of nervous because he might just actually walk in the building and raise
some hell.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
He started yelling at the people walking in the mill, "Don't go in there! They in there killin babies! Don't go in there!"</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
The
next man was a bit smaller in stature, he had a tool belt slung over
his shoulder, smoking a cigarette. It was hard to understand him at
first.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
He asked why we all were out here. After I told him, he said, "Ain't this legal? Don't these women have a choice?"</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
I said, yes sir, unfortunately it is legal, but that doesn't make it right. </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
He
eventually got into a conversation with a woman standing next to me.
She started telling him about Margret Sanger and Planned Parenthood.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
The
next man that came by Kim asked him how he felt about abortion. He said
it was against his religion. I noticed he has a crucifix coming out of
his sweater. He is homeless for the moment, but he said he was about to
get a place soon. He sold and used drugs for 20 years, but his life
turned around. </div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
He liked what we were doing out there. I told him we're out here every Saturday and he should come join us. He said he would.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
Kim
also gave him some information on a place a friend of his who was
pregnant could stay. They homeless shelter he was at would not accept
her because she was pregnant.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
The
last man that walked by was deeply saddened about the abortions done.
Kim and I told him to let his friends know about this place and to
come out and pray with us some time. He said he would.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
You
never know talking with people if you can expect to see them out on the
sidewalk. I pray we do. It would be wonderful to get more people from
that neighborhood out on the sidewalk!</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
It was a good day!</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
A worker wanted to quit, seeding the culture, LOTS of people out there praying, got to sing some hymns.</div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv562265331MsoNormal">
In
closing, I'm going to link to an article written by a man whose family
goes out to their local Mill on Fridays and Saturdays. His wife, Lisa,
brings all 10 of their children if they are all healthy! </div>

His article (<a href="http://cities4life.org/stories-and-media/2013/02/26/families-on-a-mission/" target="_blank">here</a>) highlights why they bring their

We had some warmth and sunshine even!!!<br />The morning started off pretty cold but warmed up to about 40 degrees by 10:30ish.<br /><br />My mom came along with Rebekah and Elizabeth Robinette.<br /><br />Everyone loved that children were with me. Elizabeth and Rebekah brought hope and life with them. They are the fruit of the womb. They are a blessing.<br /><br />My mom came to wage war with Prayer and God's Word. She prayed for <i>every</i> person she saw walk up. She read Scripture. She had weapons of warfare with her and she used them well!<br /><br />It was a busy day out at the Mill. We had a fantastic coverage with Sidewalk Counselors and others there to observe and pray.<br />Paul and Tamra, Mark, and Kim. Susie and Marybeth that I took the training class with were out there also.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">There is a woman I have seen out there several times with her son and his girlfriend. They come out and pray for an hour or so. I finally was able to formally introduce myself to her. Her name is Monica, she is such a sweet woman and is passionate about helping these women and saving babies.<br /><br />Cecile came with coffee and doughnuts again. Always a pleasure to see her shining face!<br /><br />And we had a couple Friars out there. One had sandals on, the other was barefoot.<br /><br />So, busy day. Most of the counselors were able to engage in conversation with people.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Mark talked to a woman who, as he said, "had not spiritually aborted her child yet." Her heart was not stone. She was in for a consultation to "discuss her options." She had a 2.5 year old and a 9 month old baby. Mark was feeling pretty good about the conversation he had with she and her friend.<br />But, she had the consultation, and once she walked out of the building, didn't want to talk to Mark anymore. She had scheduled an abortion.<br /><br />Mark also had a conversation with a man walking by on the street. He was along the side and I was in front. I could see that he was talking to him for some time. He told him what Founders does, showed him the 12 week fetal and how an abortion is performed. I didn't know that the guy was just walking by, so I gave him literature about abortion. He was looking at the fetal model, looking at Founders and walking solmenly down the street. Who knows what was going on in this man's heart and mind, but it seemed like something Mark said got ahold of him.</span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">We had a few hostile people out there. Monica was praying out front and started to tell this woman about Kinder down the street. The woman got in her face and started yelling at her. Man! I tell you that is hard for me to watch and remain calm. I was ready to start in on that woman, but Mark stepped in and asked if he could talk with her.<br />You have to understand these people are not angry at the Sidewalk Counselors, they are angry with themselves. Simply us being out on the sidewalk is a reminder to them of the wickedness that they are about to do.<br />It's hard for me to not yell back at them when they're yelling at people who are talking peaceably with them, just offering help.<br /><br />It happened again, a husband and wife came escorting their daughter and boyfriend into Founders. The man yelled at Tamra and told her to go away, his wife yelled and told us to leave their daughter alone. Again, I bristled up. They're yelling at my friend! She's just trying to help!<br />I called out to them saying we weren't here to condemn them, we just want to help. The daughter looked up and over at me as she walked closer to the building.<br /><br />I began to wonder if she was under 18, because once her parents went in with her, they left shortly after and the boyfriend stayed. He was looking out the door. He had to get his phone or something from the girl's parents. I kept asking if I could talk to him. He told me he didn't want to talk. I persisted and told him if he didn't want to take responsibility for his child, there are plently of people that would love to raise his child. He had to exit again, I saw him come back with ear plugs in. I cried out to him again saying I know that you're just trying to drown out our pleas, but we truely want to help you!!</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I also need to prepare myself for when people actually <i>do</i> stop for me to talk with them. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">The first was a girl and I assume her mom. She said she didn't know how far along she was. I told them about Kinder down the road and how wonderful adoption is. That was all I could get out. My mind went blank.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Then, there was a guy I noticed who had been in and out a coupe times. I asked if I could talk with him, and he came up to me! I was so shocked that he would give me the time of day I was at a loss of what to say. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I asked him if he was here with a friend, he sad yea, my girlfriend. He was probably early 20's</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I asked him what he thought about abortion, he just shrugged his shoulders.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I asked him why he thought abortion was the answer.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">He just casually responded, "We don't want it"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I said, do you know that is a human life, and that they're going to rip</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">He interjected , and tear it to peices, yea. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I told him about the emotional trauma this could cause her.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">He, again, casually said, She's okay with it, we're both Athiests anyway.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I was at a loss.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Toward the end of our time there, the traffic flow slowed down. My heart swelled and I began calling out to the people in the waiting room. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Please come out and talk to us! There are people 5 blocks down the road that are waiting to help you!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Your child was not a mistake! Your child is a blessing and was given to you by God!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Even as you sit in that waiting room, you are supplying safety and nourishment to that child!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Please come out and talk to us!!</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Rebekah noticed people moved away from the door. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Driving home, I was thinking about my conversation with the young man- thinking about all the things I could or should have said.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">One question that came to mind</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><i>after the fact</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">, " So, say your girlfriend was at home, sleeping, and someone just came in and ripped her arms and legs off. Would that be okay?"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I thought about engaging him in the Gospel, if anyone had told him about Jesus...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I am SO thankful that it is not on my shoulders to change people's hearts. There is so much</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><i>rest</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> in knowing only God has that power. And while I should fight and try as much as I can, I am able to walk away from the Mill at peace, knowing that I have done what God has calld me to do, and I can leave the rest in His hands.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><i>His yolk is easy and His burden is light.</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">You could wear yourself to the ground if you think it's all on you to save these women and babies.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><i>If I would have just said this...</i></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Again, it's like I'm in a different universe when I get back to "normal life" after leaving Founders. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">Saturday, I think I got a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><i>small</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"> glimpse of what it is like for soldiers to come back home from a war. I'm walking into Meijer and there is a car pulled up to the front, someone standing outsde the passenger side, leaning in. I'm flashing back to when the boy got his phone from his girlfriend's parents. A woman asks me if I want to try a sample of food. I'm flashing back to me asking to talk to people as they're walking into the Mill. Even as I'm walking up to her, I have this overwhelming sense if I say no to her, she will start to run away and cry. I wanted to help her. I snapped out of it and realized she just asked if I wanted to eat some bluberries. So, I ate some.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I heard a child scream in the store, I was filled with anxiety. I saw the couple he was with. It appeared the boy had a different mother than the woman his dad was with. I started wondering about their situation. Was the dad excited to be a dad, or did he not want to at first? Was abortion a consideration of theirs?</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">It is a war zone out there. The Enemy is at work at Founders, and while he has no hold on me, he whispers lies to me while I'm there, trying to discourage me. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><i>What do you think you're doing out here? You can't help these people.<br />You've never had an abortion, you don't even have kids- why would anyone listen to you?</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">IN THE NAME OF JESUS GET BEHIND ME SATAN!!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">If you're out there on the sidewalk (well, in anything really), don't listen to his lies. Keep fighting the good fight in what God has called you to do!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;">I am thankful for this time at Founders. I learn so much every week I'm out there!</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">In closing, I'm posting a video about the work that Sarah Cleveland does for the unborn. Her passion for protecting the unborn and helping the least of these is worked out into her every day life.</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">I love the point she makes when she starts talking about foster children. She says a lot of people say these children would have been better off not being born... but they have the opportunity to be <i>rescued</i>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Just beautiful.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Another cold morning out there at Founders! High of 30
degrees. Cloudy, windy and snow at times.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mark was back on the sidewalk after a month of doing
pro-life work elsewhere. It was good to see him. I briefly met a woman who was
at the SWC training class, Susan. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also had fellow saints from my church out there with me
(Tim and Christina, Luke and Laura), along with the lovely Charity and
Elizabeth who came all the way from Akron
to visit and observe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mark was the only seasoned sidewalk counselor there that
day, so Laura, Christina and I got our feet wet for sure! Charity was even
calling out to the people, offering to help.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mark stayed in the back alley with Susan and Tim for a bit.
Laura, Charity, Elizabeth,
Luke and I were up front. Christina switched out with Tim and came up front.
Christina was loosing her voice but still attempted to call out and offer help.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again, a lot of cold hearts. A lot of weak men coming in
with their ( I assume) significant others to slaughter their child. A lot of
weak men not wanting to deal with the consequences/ responsibilities of their
foolishness and sin. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tim called out to one man telling him he should protect his
girl and not go in there. The guy responded, “I am.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mark came out front to see how we were doing for a minute
and talked to a man who was “just there for his friend”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mark started off by asking him if he knew why we were out
here. (also, I’m always impressed when people actually do take time to listen
and talk with us. The guy just had a hoodie on) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mark showed him the fetal model of a 12 week old baby and
explained an abortion procedure to him. He also explained that even though the
guy said he doesn’t really support abortion, he is supporting it by taking his
friend to this place. Mark pressed him further about abortion being murder,
they guy responded with, “well, it’s a social issue and everybody has their own
opinions.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He didn’t take any of the literature we offered to him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We did get literature into quite a few people’s hands, which
that always gives me a glimmer of hope. They’re in the waiting room for at
least an hour, I’m hoping they read it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two women walked up and I saw they had gotten literature
from Mark and Susan in the back. I encouraged them to please read that
information because it talks about thing they may not tell you in there. Later
I found out one of those women had come to Founders for an abortion, but
changed her mind. She even showed Mark pictures of her baby. But she was there
to support her friend. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just because someone chooses life for their child, doesn’t
mean they are pro life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One man came out of the building several times on his phone.
His back was facing me and he was completely ignoring me, but I still called
out to him. I said what a blessing their child could be to another family who
cannot have children. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a gold Chevy Impala that pulled up front and the
couple just sat in their car for a long time. They finally got out and started
walking toward the building. Laura asked what they were coming in for. The guy
said, “Man, I don’t even know why she’s here, what are you comin’ here for?”.
She said an ultrasound. They walked in the door, and walked back out. I don’t
even think the door had time to shut before they walked back out. Laura showed
the guy the brochure about Kinder. She also told him if they get an ultrasound
here, they might pressure her to have an abortion. They walked back to the car
and we thanked him for stopping to talk with us.<br />
Elizabeth said
she felt a warmth come over her. Charity and I both kind of had a similar
sensation. Holy Spirit moving? I think so! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They sat out in their
car again for a long time. Charity and I walked up to their car and asked if we
could talk, if they had any questions. They guy said no.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They sat in their car for a bit longer then drove off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Turn-away?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really don’t know. I hope so. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also met a girl and her boyfriend. She was getting birth
control and said she would be right back to talk to us. It was about 5 minutes
later and she came up to us. She said she is pro life. She just moved here and
she said this was the first place that popped up to get cheap birth control. I
told her she may want to try Franklin County Board of Health to see if she can
get it elsewhere, because by going to Founders for birth control, she’s keeping
them in business and her money is going towards abortions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She told us she had two boys, one died ( yea, she just told
us that like nothing, and I wasn’t really sure if I should ask her about how it
happened and all that.), and her other boy, her mom adopted because at the time
she had an abusive/alcoholic boyfriend.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Charity asked her if she knew Jesus. She said yes, she was a
Christian. She said, “I know I don’t look like one, but I am and go to church.”
She had really short bleach blond hair, a tattoo on her neck and a dog collar. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I told her about the sidewalk counseling training class, and
that it would be helpful to have people out here like her who have given their
babies up for adoption and all that. She said she was interested in the class
and liked what we were doing. I gave her my name, number and email address. I
also gave her the website for GCRTL. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We thanked her for talking with us and she went on her way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was about noon
after we finished talking with her. So we all prayed together and left. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s so funny how bold we think we are until we’re actually
faced head on with the situation. All week I had been praying and thinking of
things to say to people and Scripture to recite. I was READY! I knew the Lord
was going to be with us and I was ready to take on whatever came at me!! <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then I got on the sidewalk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And I’m terrified.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
People are coming in and I’m forgetting what the heck to
say! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was hard for me to not feel like a broken record. But
Laura reminded me that it may be the 10<sup>th</sup> time I’m saying this, but
it’s the first time those people are hearing it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is frustrating being out there and not knowing what
people are coming in for. You can normally tell when a woman is coming in for
an abortion because she’s wearing loose fitting pants and has a bag with her.
Other than that, you don’t know if they’re here for a consultation, or if it’s
a post abortion follow up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a woman that was dressed as if she was coming in
for an abortion. It looked like it could have been her dad taking her in. They
were inside for a couple hours. When they came out, I asked if we could pray
with them. There is forgiveness and hope in Jesus and she wouldn’t have to live
with a lifetime of guilt and regret, that His grace is sufficient. They kept on
walking as if I wasn’t there. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You really do come into contact with people that are
completely opposite of you. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was beautiful to watch my sister talk to a big black man
about Kinder down the road. She stood right next to him, looking him in the
eye. I knew she was out of her comfort zone, and making a deliberate effort to
do so. “… but the righteous are bold as a lion” Prov. 28:1<br />
<br />
I feel like it wasn’t long after that another car pulled up and another sizable
black man got out of the car. Thuggish ruggish he was. His hands were covered
with tattoos, I offered him the literature, he glared at me as he walked
passed, not saying a word. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s hard to look people in the eye out there. You see their
pain, their anger, their hopelessness. Part of me wanted to look at the ground
while he walked by me. But those people need to see my eyes. I want to offer
them help, hope. I pray that is conveyed in my eyes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have to take a moment to commend my friends Charity and
Elizabeth for waging war in the cold. I love that Charity jumped right in,
calling out to people, on her knees praying on the cold sidewalk. Their love
for the Lord and passion for protecting the unborn and those women was obvious
by them simply being out there on a day like that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kudos ladies. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was definitely a good training day. Next week there will
be more seasoned counselors that I will be able to work along side with and not
just observe. I’m looking forward to that!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am so thankful the Lord provided me this opportunity to
serve these women and unborn babies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The victory is already won, and Christ is still reigning on
His throne, but we still have to fight in the battle against the seed of the
serpent.</div>

Basically to sum it up:<br />
You need a tremendous amount of love, humility, compassion, wisdom. <br />
And, know what resources are available to the abortion minded woman. <br />
<br />
They
did some role playing of different people/situations you may come
across, which is helpful. You need a lot of grace! And, the ability to
maintain composure during these situations. :) You have to know they are
upset and you can't respond to their anger/hostility. <br />
<br />
One
thing I would like to say, I am thankful for the Catholic involvement
in the fight for Life. Because, really, if they weren't doing it...
there wouldn't be too many people left fighting the battle. <br />
There were 32 in the class, and those in attendance from Foundation (6) were the only Protestants. <br />
<br />
Again, I am THANKFUL for the Catholic community fighting for life, and I
am happy to work alongside them. I do it every week I'm there at
Founders.<br />
Greater Columbus Right to Life is an established pro-life
community in Columbus, mostly comprised of Catholics. So much so, that
in the email reminding everyone of the class, they mentioned Mass at St.
Mary's is at 4:00 for those who wanted to stick around for that.<br />
<br />
Where are the Protestants in this fight?<br />
<br />
<br />
The week before at the Mill, there was a girl
walking up to go inside and she said sarcastically, "Yeah, I'm going in here, and I'm Catholic!"<br />
Sooo.... I shouted back, "Then you should know better!"<br />
Probably not the <i>best</i> response. <br />
Like Ruth said in the class, "take a breath!" then respond. :)<br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">We had a woman choose LIFE!!! <br /> Please pray
for Sky, she has a supportive family but not a supportive boyfriend.
She went down to Kinder and has another follow up appointment next week.
<br /> <br /> Please pray for Jeff and his wife. They came in today for a
consultation. They have a couple children already and feel they cannot
afford another child. Jeff was crying while we were talking to him. He
feels this <span class="text_exposed_show">is their only choice. They are a part of a Methodist church. <br /> Please pray God turns their hearts and their church will help them with the help they need. <br /> <br />
Please pray for Dekeela (?sp). She had a lot of good/hard/honest
questions. She's scheduled for an abortion on Tuesday. Pray she
remembers the help that was offered to her an changes her mind.</span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show"><br />I will include some thoughts from my sister on her time there:</span></span><br />
<span class="userContent">This was the first time I've ever witnessed a
lengthy conversation with an abortion-minded person (This is only my 3rd
time coming out, there were several other lengthy conversations going
on today, I just wasn't with those people). One good thing about smokers
is that they have to come outside<span class="text_exposed_show"> to smoke at the mill, so that's a great opportunity to talk to people.<br />
Jeff was a father of several kids, his wife is just a few weeks
pregnant and they 'can't afford another one'. During the conversation he
cried a couple times. He knows it's a baby, and he knows it's going to
kill the baby, they just can't see past the current circumstances. He
did say something about how they attend a church - gah!!! This is why
the church needs to be involved in peoples lives and step in and say,
"Wwwwwait a minute! You can't do that!" Give these desperate people
help, encouragement!<br /> <br /> A couple questions I want to start asking people is...<br /> <br />
1. If abortion was ILLEGAL, what would you do if you couldn't afford
"this one"? You'd either HAVE to 'figure it out' or give it up for
adoption. I feel like the 'choice' to abort really makes people feel
like they have NO choice, BUT to abort!!<br /> <br /> 2. If you lose your job and can't afford your current kids, what would you do? Kill them too? (in the most gentle way possible)<br /> <br />
I could totally sense that Jeff and his wife had talked about this,
that this was a sensitive issue, they didn't have this, "Yeah, whatever"
attitude. I just mourn for these people who feel like they can't afford
it, especially when they belong to a church. That's the church's job is
to provide for first of all, the needs of it's congregation! If a
member of your congregation was considering killing their child because
they couldn't afford it, what would you do? We tried to encourage these
people to seek counseling from their Pastor, but the sad thing is, some
Pastors support abortion!! GAH!!!<br /> <br /> Another thing I thought of...<br /> <br />
Jesus was the only perfect man that walked on this earth. He was the
perfect preacher, who said the perfect words - and people rejected His
sermons, and rejected Him. When we speak to people, we have to realize
that no matter what words we say, we can't change someone's heart. BUT -
we need to be there for those people who do have a change of heart, or
really just need some support to do the right thing. Jesus' sermons
weren't directed at everyone listening, He preached to the thirsty, the
hungry - that's why He spoke in parables, to draw the hungry in, to draw
His sheep to Him. His sheep know His voice.<br /> <br /> So that's why I
want to be a sidewalk counselor. I want to be there to help women &
men that feel trapped, that feel like they don't have a choice, to those
that can't see past the box of their current situation, to those that
are hungering and thirsting for righteousness, to expose this evil act,
to pray for changed hearts for the abortion workers, and that God would
execute judgement on this building and shut it down.<br /> <br /> Please
pray for Jeff, that the seeds that were planted would compel him to save
the life of his child, and if he is indeed a member of a church, that
the church would step in and do what's right. Pray for Dakita, she has
an abortion scheduled on Tuesday, but Christina and another woman were
there to sow some good caring, compassionate, but truthful seeds. Pray
for Sky, she turned away from the abortion mill and allowed a sidewalk
counselor to take her down to Kinder Women's Care (Pregnancy Resource Center), where she has a counseling appointment on Wednesday. Her
boyfriend wants the abortion, but her parents are supportive of her
having the child.<br /> <br /> We need more moms that have given babies up
for adoption to be here on the sidewalks, and families that HAVE adopted
to be out here - showing their beautiful adopted children. So many
people seeking abortion seem opposed to adoption, as if that would be
harder to do.<br /> <br /> The Lion is on the move. God is working, but He's called us to do the work!! You will serve the kingdom you see.</span></span><br />

It
was COLD out there on Saturday! I think the high was 21 degrees.
Thank you for the prayers! My toes were slightly numb, but that's
really all the discomfort I felt. I wore two pairs of socks (one being
wool), leggings, jeans, several shirts, a hoodie, neck warmer, scarf,
ear
warmers, mittens, a hat and my big black down coat!<br />
And yes, I could still move just fine!<br />

<br />
Paul,
Kim, Mark and I were the only ones out there Saturday. Some Friars came
to pray the last half hour we were there.
Kim saw the Friars pull up and looked at me with great concern. She
didn't want to look at the Friars in fear they would be shoeless.Not to
worry, the Friars wore SHOES and boots this time. <img src="http://mail.yimg.com/nq/mc/1_0_0/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif" /><br />
<br />
I
had met Paul briefly a few weeks ago ( I keep on calling him John- I
can't get his name correct for some reason), and it was nice to get to
talk with him in between trying to offer help to women coming in. He and
his wife home schooled all 5 of their children. They live in Lancaster,
so it's about a 45 minute drive for them to get out to the Mill.<br />
<br />
It
was a hard day. There were several couples that came in and you could
see in their eyes it wasn't something they wanted to do. But they felt
that was their only option. A man walked out to his car crying. Kim
asked if he could talk. He could barely get out his response. Quietly he
said, "no
ma'am."<br />
<br />
Paul got to talk with an Indian couple for a minute or
two before they went inside. He told them about Kinder down the road and
a few other things. They were not in the building for very long before
they left. I hope and pray they changed their mind. She was dressed as
if she was going in for an abortion. Loose fitting pants, a change of
clothes, a bag... <br />
<br />
A woman brought in her daughter, <i>with her younger son</i>. She dropped off her daughter, left with her younger son, then came back and went inside. I was shocked.<br />
<br />
Right
before we were getting ready to leave, another car pulls up. A woman is
getting out of the car and saying I love you to whomever she was in the
car with. We asked if we could talk to her. A man gets out of the car
and starts yelling and cussing at us, telling us to leave his wife
alone, we're all crazy. Mark and the Friars admonished him to be a man
and protect the child that his wife is carrying. He
yelled back and said he is a man, he's got his daughter in the car that
he takes care of. <br />
That tore me up. How can you look at the precious
face of your child, and kill one, when your first child was in that
same position, however many years plus 9 months ago.<br />
<br />
It was a heavy time out there. I wept when I got in my car. I can't even type without tears welling up. <br />
<br />
I am never
discouraged (heavy-hear ted, yes) when I leave there, just more determined.<br />
<br />
"Sidewalk Counseling", as they call it, is not for everyone. <br />
And that's okay. <br />
BUT, praying daily for the end of abortion, and all that entails, is something everyone <i>should</i> do. :)<br />
<br />
We are at war with the seed of the serpent. Everyone has their battleground to fight on.<br />
Rearing
your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Leading and/or
helping your spouse, your biological and church family. Work.<br />
There isn't one that is any more important than the other. It is all a part of advancing the Kingdom of God. <br />
<br />
Being out of the Mill also makes me see even more so God's sovereignty.
It doesn't matter what I say, how hard I pray... it is God who works in
people's hearts, and if He hasn't already begun to soften these women's
hearts, it doesn't matter what I do. <br />
<br />
Pastor Mark preached about
the life of David Brainerd this past Sunday. What a wonderful story of a
man dedicated to the work of God!<br />
One thing (of many) that stuck out
to me was when David Brainerd found a group of Native Americans who God
was already working in their lives. They ate up the Gospel message
David preached!! <br />
So I began to realize, among all the other things
that need prayed for regarding abortion, I need to be praying daily the
God will go before me and work in the hearts and minds of people I will
come into contact with on Saturdays at the Mill. That the Lord will make
a ready harvest, so that His workers can go to the field and yield much
fruit!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, that's all I got for now. <img src="http://mail.yimg.com/nq/mc/1_0_0/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif" /><br />
<br />
Thanks for reading and praying.<br />
<br />
To the Kingdom!<br />
To the
Restoration!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04289244221700960254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535644986716565765.post-75310277108838617582013-02-25T11:45:00.004-08:002013-02-26T08:58:58.572-08:00January 21, 2013<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, there was another army out at the battlefield Saturday! Mark Wolf
counted 24 people!! That was not including a group from St. Patrick who
were out there at 7:30 that morning praying.<br />
<br />
Another week of meeting some new people! Tamra and Tony (?). I met both of their spouses the week before. <br />
<br />
It's
overwhelming all the support that is out at the Mill. People praying,
counselors calling out to the women, trying to give them help.<br />
<br />
There was a turn away even before I got there!!! <br />
Jessica
is 32 years old. She has two children and her husband just divorced her
and she is pregnant. She didn't know what to do, so she was coming to
the Mill for a consultation. <br />
Kim and Tracey were talking with her,
Jessica was crying. Kim and Tracey drove her down to Kinder Women's
Center to get some help and
encouragement.<br />
Please pray for Jessica
and her situation.<br />
<br />
Laura and Christina accompanied me that day.
Again, such a blessing to be with my sisters on the front lines. As we
were parking, we saw a couple walking up the sidewalk, the girl crying. <br />
We
hung out in the back alley for a bit with some of the counselors, then
made our way up front. There were quite a few women praying the rosary. A
group that was volunteering at Kinder came down and joined the women in
praying. AND- some Franciscan Friars came to pray as well!! The Friars
were also singing, one of them was preaching words of life to the people
in the lobby of the Mill. He was speaking of the Hope we have in
Christ, that Jesus came to overcome death. Man, it was intense. I had to
pull myself together, I was on the verge of loosing it. It's
bittersweet being there every week. It's beautiful to see people of
different backgrounds pulling together to fight for the unborn. It's
terrible standing outside, knowing that the
abortionist is dismembering babies inside. <br />
<br />
Laura, Christina and
I got to talk with an older woman named Cecile. I have known Cecile for
a while, she comes into the office to buy supplements. She noticed my
bracelet one day and commented on how beautiful it was. She said she's
very active in the Pro Life movement. I told her I had been going to a
Mill on Saturdays. She gets wide eyed and exclaims, "You go to
Founders?!!" She goes down to Founders pretty often, but usually takes a
break in the Winter.<br />
<b><i>ANYWAY</i></b>- She was there Saturday.
She brought coffee and donuts for everyone- even offering it to the
people going into the Mill. They didn't want any. <br />
Cecile is just a
big, bubbly ball of joy! She views children as a gift and a blessing. It
was wonderful to get to talk with her. And have coffee and donuts. :)<br />
<br />
There were still a lot of cold hearts at the Mill, and a lot of women who walked in pregnant that came out no longer
pregnant. <br />
<br />
It was interesting to me, this guy I was watching. He
was in the lobby, looking out the window at all of us standing out
there, he was watching the Friars and others who were praying. Then he
stepped outside, just stood there. He didn't look at us, he just stood
there, face forward. His eyes looked a bit red. Kim was asking him to
come and talk to her, she doesn't bite, she just wanted to offer him
some help. She called out to him for quite some time. He just stood
there. Never acknowledged we were there, never responded. He wasn't even
smoking (most people who come back outside are smoking). <br />
As all the
counselors were wrapping up their day, he walked by, holding (I assume)
his girlfriends hand. We found out from another SWC that the girl was
here for a followup, so she had already had an abortion. Who knows why
he watched everyone on the sidewalk, why he just stood outside as Kim
was offering him help... <br />
<br />
I was thinking
about the scene in Amazing Grace:<br />
"William Wilberforce cleverly
traps a sailing excursion of well to do citizens, causing their boat to
be stopped in the bay next to the slave ship Madagascar, which has
recently delivered 200 slaves to the West Indies, although it started
with 600. Standing on the Madagascar, Wilberforce admonishes his
audience offended by the foul stench to remove the handkerchiefs from
their noses saying, 'That smell is the smell of death- slow, painful
death. Breathe it in; breathe deeply... Remember that smell. Remember
the Madagascar. Remember that God made men equal.' (www.bpnews.net Feb
23, 2007).<br />
<br />
I would encourage everyone to go out to the Mill. You
need to see the battlefield. You need to see the hardness of some of
these women's hearts. You need to see the brokenhearted women who feel
they have no other option. You need to see the diversity of the Body of
Christ who are all pulling together to end the wicked works of
Abortion.<br />
<br />
There is an average of 15 abortions a day in Franklin County. That's 105 a week, 420 a month, over 5,000 a year. <i>Just</i> in Franklin County.<br />
<br />
These are <i>babies</i>. <br />
<br />
Not numbers.<br />
<br />
Babies.<br />
<br />
Babies like Lydia, Gideon, Valiant, Grant, Tanner, Grace, Naomi, Keziah, Thomas... <br />
Babies who are made in the Image of God.<br />
<br />
O Church, will you rise up to protect the unborn?<br />
O Church, will you rise up and help these women who feel they have no other option?<br />
O Lord, will you forgive Your church for our sins of neglect?<br />
O Lord will you ignite a fire in our hearts, swell them with compassion for these precious gifts?<br />
O Lord, prepare us for this battle, send out Your warriors!<br />
<br />
Tuesday marks the 40th Anniversary of the Roe v. Wade trial that made murder of the unborn a protected act by the government. <br />
<br />
The
abortionist, Dr. Blank, (who is at Founders that I go to on Saturdays)
will have
been killing babies for 40 years in February. When I'm there on
Saturdays, there's probably anywhere from 7-10 women coming in for
abortions. If you take that number from <i>Saturdays only</i> and do the math for 40 years... 14,560- 20,800 babies aborted... <br />
Say
each abortion he did costs $500 (depending on how far along the woman
is, an abortion can cost upwards of $1000)... Saturdays only, for 40
years... $7,280,000.00 made during his career aborting babies. <br />
It's baffling to me.<br />

In closing, I'm going to share some words my sister, Laura, wrote thinking on her experience at the Mill:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0060bf;"><span class="yiv38574955userContent"><span class="yiv38574955text_exposed_show">I kept
thinking about Joshua and the battle of Jericho as well (Joshua 6). They
marched around Jericho, completely silent, once each day for 6 days,
then on the seventh day, they marched around the city seven times,
completely silent. Then at the end of the seventh time around, they blew
the trumpets and cried with a great shout.<br /> <br /> And the walls<br /> <br /> came<br /> <br /> tumbling<br /> <br /> down.<br /> <br /> But God's people had to be there for that to happen!!!!</span></span><br /><span class="yiv38574955userContent"><span class="yiv38574955text_exposed_show"><span class="yiv38574955userContent"><span class="yiv38574955text_exposed_show"><br /> May the walls of these abortion clinics tumble to the ground.<br />
May the workers of this iniquity come to know Christ and expose the
evils of this industry, as MANY former abortion workers have! May
Christians stop saying, "Oh, somebody else will be there. Somebody else
will do it. I don't have time. I'm so busy. That would be too difficult
or too uncomfortable." What right & noble thing ever came about
without inconvenience, suffering, and difficulty?</span></span></span></span><br /><span class="yiv38574955userContent"><span class="yiv38574955text_exposed_show">And I say this
pointing the finger at myself too. I am so guilty of not taking action
as well. I guess I just had no idea that sidewalk counseling &
praying at abortion mills were even an option. I just assumed that
anyone that stood outside of an abortion mill would just be yelling
hateful things at the women going in there. I thought the only thing I
could do to stop abortion was just to vote for 100% pro-life politicians
and put a bumper sticker on your car. BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE YOU CAN
DO!!</span></span><span class="yiv38574955userContent"><span class="yiv38574955text_exposed_show"> When the
Syrians were coming to seize Elisha, they had all of Israel surrounded
with horses and chariots. His servant was afraid, and Elisha prayed that
his servants eyes would be opened. His servant opened his eyes and saw
the mountains were surrounded with horses and chariots of fire from
Heaven!! Then God struck the Syrians blind, and they continued on to
Samaria because they couldn't see where they were going. (2 King

outside these abortion mills."<br /><br /><span style="color: black;">I pray I live to see the end of Abortion.

Hey all! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Just wanted to let you know how my last visit to the Mill was.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Laura came along with me on Saturday. It was wonderful getting to be on that battleground standing side by side with her.</div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Laura and I on the front lines.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div>
We met some more people who are passionate about saving the unborn.</div>
<div>
Kelly, who is 27 and 7 months pregnant with her second child was
there. I LOVE that there was a pregnant woman there! She and her husband
alternate weeks they are there.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Laura and I also had an opportunity to talk with Ruth Yortson who
was the former director of Greater Columbus Right to Life (GCRTL). </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I had emailed Ruth shortly after my first trip to the Mill. Because
GCRTL is an established Pro Life organization in Columbus, I wanted to
ask how they felt about different methods of ministering at the Mill. I
have come into contact with several people (via Facebook) who do a lot
of preaching at the Mill. They present the Gospel and warn women and men
about the severity of taking innocent life. They usually have a sound
system set up so they can speak and not yell at the people. They are
always kind and gentle when speaking/preaching, but they do not water
down God's Truth by any means. I <i>really</i> like that approach. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So I asked Ruth how they felt about that, and people reading aloud from the Bible.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
She told me what they teach Sidewalk Counselors (SWC) in training
(Laura, Bonnita and I will be doing the training) is to talk about Mom,
Baby, then God. Ruth said it sounds backwards, but she's been doing this
for 20 ish years and has seen this to be the best approach. She said
only God can remove the scales from people's eyes, and when you come to the Mill reading from the Bible, 1. People don't know what you're
talking about and 2. it makes people think you're shoving it down their
throat, or being judgmental. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The baby is safe (at the moment) in mommy's belly. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The workers of the Mill will tell the women coming in there to
ignore the people on the sidewalk, that we're judging them, we lie to
them, we are not there to help them.</div>
<div>
So that is one of the reasons that Ruth says we need to address the
women (moms) and talk to them about what is going on in their lives <i>first</i>, so that we can establish a relationship with the women, gaining their trust, and help them see we <i>truly do</i> want to help them.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
After being out there the few times I have, I get that and can see the effectiveness of it.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
SWC refer women 5 blocks down the road to a pregnancy crisis center
called Kinder Women's Care Center. Laura and I stopped by there to have
a tour.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It is BEAUTIFUL inside!!! It's SO inviting and cozy. The women
there are super nice and friendly. They are deliberate about making it an
inviting atmosphere. The women that come there from the Mill say it is
much more welcoming than the cold stone building they were just at.</div>
<div>
They run on 100% donations!</div>
<div>
The one awesome thing they do, that I find to be beneficial in future visits to the Mill:</div>
<div>
If an abortion minded woman comes to Kinder that was referred there
by a SWC, and carry the baby to full term, Kinder will refund the woman
100% of the money she put down at the abortion mill!!! Anything you go
in for at the Mill is at least $50. And, if you're having an abortion,
they make you pay $100 up front. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Any money you can give to a crisis pregnancy center is well worth it!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
And, Sarah Cleveland also introduced us to the idea of "Drop Cards" </div>
<div>
(link: <a href="http://www.ahagear.com/collections/drop-cards" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ahagear.com/collections/drop-cards</a>)</div>
<div>
She (I'm pretty sure) is the Director of Abolish Human Abortion
(AHA) society in Ohio. One of AHA's slogans is "We will be silent when
abortion is abolished". </div>
<div>
When Sarah is not doing SWC at the Mill, or other various activist type things, she is using these "Drop Cards".</div>
<div>
The idea is to expose the atrocity of abortion, to make people aware of it, in hopes they will join the fight for the unborn. </div>
<div>
So when you're at the store, library, gas station or wherever- slip
a drop card by a bottle of shampoo at the store, or a book at the
library, or put it in the credit card swipey thing at the gas station.</div>
<div>
They're $3 for 50 cards.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
SO, this was a most informative trip!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
WHILE ON THE SIDEWALK:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We had a small army there on Saturday! A catholic family of about 5
were there praying. At least 5 "trained" SWC, a couple others observing
along with Laura and I!!</div>
<div>
It was beautiful so many people out there to help those women!!</div>
<div>
There was a point where a group of us stretched quite a length
along the sidewalk in front of the building. After realizing how many
people we had, they dispersed to the side and back alley.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Laura and I were up at the front entrance for a while by ourselves
(well, aside from the catholic family praying). That's the first time I
had not been with a trained SWC. It was a bit intimidating, but my heart
swelled for those women and the babies they were carrying. Laura and I
were calling out to them, offering the help that is available at Kinder 5
blocks down the road, pleading that they not go in to that place. There
were men dropping off the women, and coming out of the building. Most
of them I didn't feel comfortable talking to, but the Lord gave me
courage to speak out one man. I told him he was a father and it was his
duty to protect his baby. He just kept on walking.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Most people ignored us. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A mom that brought her daughter there, came outside to smoke. She
was looking around, trying to figure out where to go so she didn't have
to hear our cries. Sarah pleaded and pleaded, but then the woman walked
down the street. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
One girl came out of the aborutory and we offered her some
information. She looked at us and said that she didn't "get it done." I
never saw her go in, she went straight to her car- I hope the Lord
changed her heart. But I have no other information, which is why I can't
be 100% on her situation.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There was another woman who came out of the building in the back
yelling at whoever she was on the phone with. She definitely looked
pregnant. It was hard to make out everything she was yelling, but we
think she didn't have all the money to pay for her abortion. I hope she
didn't, I hope she left there, baby still safely in her womb. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There were a lot of hardened hearts that day. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Please continue to pray that the Lord will bring more people to the
Mill to minister to the women and men. Pray for the end of abortion,
that the church will rise up and be an advocate for those who cannot
speak or defend themselves.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*Sidenote*</div>
<div>
Laura had a good idea- There are quite a few Planned Parenthoods in
Ohio, but only 2 do abortions. The rest just provide birth control,
contraception, pregnancy tests and abortion referrals. I just kind of
ignored those and focused on the locations that do the abortions.</div>
<div>
BUT, Laura, being the smart woman she is, found out there was a PP
in Circleville, and it might be worth it to stand outside that location
to try and refer those women to Elizabeth's Hope. Just a thought.</div>
<div>
It looks like they're only open 10-4 on Mondays. I suppose any other time they would be open is by appointment only.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this! I had LOTS to share, and I didn't intend for it to be this long.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
To God be All Glory, Forever!</div>

Hello everyone!!</div>
<div>
Thank you for your prayers today! Two
lives we saved today!! Praise The Lord for softening these ladies hearts
and choosing to spare their baby from death!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It
was a FRIGID day out at the Mill! I was there from about 10-12 today. I
wanted to get there earlier, but didn't plan well. Mark Wolf was there
again, as he is every Saturday. There was a woman playing Away in a
Manger on the flute when I pulled up. I met a very nice woman by the
name of Kim, she is married with 3 children. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
also met a woman named Sarah Cleveland. She is married with two
children, a Christian and she is an Ultrasound Tech (she has trained
women at PDHC). She worked at Riverside Hospital for 9 years in the ER
as well. She saw so many women coming in post abortion with
complications, excessive bleeding, and with incomplete abortions-
meaning, the women still had body parts of the baby still inside them. </div>
<div>
After
9 years, she couldn't take it anymore and decided something had to be
done. With the blessing of her husband, she quit her job. Thus, their
family going down to one income and making all the necessary changes to
adapt to that lifestyle. </div>
<div>
From there, she has become a full
time activist for the unborn. She speaks at churches, is involved with
several other ProLife groups going to college campuses and other public
areas exposing what abortion really is. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After being there today, it never occurred to me that there are people who really do not know what abortion is. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So
anyway, my first experience today was watching Mark Wolf approach a man
and woman about to go into the Mill. The man was very aggressive toward
Mark. Got in his face, mocking him, patting him on the back and telling
him to walk on. He told Mark the next time he touched him, his back was
going to be on the ground. Mark told the police officer about he man
and he went over and talked to him. The officers are off duty and hired
by the Mill, so they're driving their personal cars.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One girl cussed us out. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The
an Indian couple came in. They were such sweet people. They are both
carriers for a genetic disease and have two daughters that are severely
disabled and can Not walk. The mom was six weeks pregnant. She said she
couldn't bare to have another child suffer like her two daughters do.
Sarah pleaded and talked with them for several minutes, but the couple
thought it best to kill their baby. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then came
along a girl Amy. Kim talked with her a long time while Amy was still in
her car. Amy left to get some food. She came back and went inside the
Mill. But she came out a few minutes later!! You could tell she didn't
want to do it. Kim did not get a chance to talk to her more, as she was
on her phone walking down the street. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then
there was Renee. Renee was dropped off by her boyfriend to have an
abortion. She was 4 months along! (The Mill does abortions up to 5
months. If the women are past that time, they refer them to another
place that will do later term abortions- one is in Toledo) </div>
<div>
She
went in, then came out looking very sad. She walked up to Sarah and
Sarah shared with her what abortion is and what they would do to her
baby. Renee had no idea what abortion actually was. But after that
conversation with Sarah, she changed her mind. She wasn't feeling well
and wanted to go somewhere to make sure she and her baby were okay.
Sarah drove her to OSU East. Renee couldn't believe that Sarah wanted to
give her a ride. Renee wasn't going to call her boyfriend yet. She
didn't want him to know she didn't get the abortion. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
asked Mark if he knew of any sound permits that's were needed or if
people used equipment like a loud speaker or something to that effect.
He said given the area and that everything is so close together, it
probably would t be we'll received. </div>
<div>
BUT the from door is the
entrance to the lobby. So you can see the people in there waiting. I
don't know it they could hear you if you were outside talking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
can tell ya you look at children differently after going there. You see
just how much of a precious gift they are from The Lord. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm
going to do my best to be there every Saturday morning. You're welcome
to tag along. Kim told me there was a family there for a little bit
before I got there. </div>
<div>
The people there (sidewalk counselors)are very kind and welcoming.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I ended up going to the Mill on Saturday. I went to Founders
Women's Health Center on East Broad St. That is the only one (there are 3
in Columbus) that is open on Saturdays.</div>
<div>
They are open Tuesday-Saturday. </div>
<div>
Dr. Blank was the first doctor in Ohio to perform the first legal
abortion. He has been performing abortions there since it opened in
1973. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
40 years of abortions.... </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
If you want, here is their website below. They state on the website
their main service is abortions, but they also mention they give
adoption referrals, std testing, annual exams and other various women's
health type things. People go there for abortions. More than likely,
their clientele have some other doctor they go to for the other stuff.</div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.founderswhc.com/?page_id=67" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.founderswhc.com/?page_id=67</a></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
ANYWAY-</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I shared my experience with some of you , but I just thought I'd send it out to everyone.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I was there from about 9:15-11:30 Saturday morning. </div>
<div>
There were several "groups" out there. There were some from
"Immaculate Conception" (Catholic group), there was a youth group from
that place too for a bit. Then there was Columbus Right to Life (they
are also Catholic). </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I spent time observing people "sidewalk counseling" from Columbus
Right to Life. A man named Mark ( he was probably in his 50's), a woman,
Tracey, and a younger girl about 20ish named Katelyn. They were all
very kind and welcoming of me. They were telling me about some of their
experiences talking with the employees of the Mill, and people they talk
to coming in as a client to the Mill.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There is parking in the front and back of the building. The
sidewalk is close to the front entrance. They have people out front
praying and in the back trying to talk to people before going into the
building. So there is good coverage and several places to interact with
people. The back alley and sidewalks are public property. You cannot
step onto the parking lot or the facility grounds or else you will get
in trouble for trespassing. </div>
<div>
Founders has a highered Columbus Police Officer there at all times
for the protection of everyone there (except the unborn babies).</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
What I observed as the approach of the people I was observing was:</div>
<div>
There is a Women's Health Center that is prolife 5 blocks down on East Broad that gives free ultrasounds/pregnancy test, ect. </div>
<div>
At Founders, regardless of what you're getting done, it's going to be at least $50. </div>
<div>
So they tell the women about that place down the road as a better option. They tell the women it is something they will regret.<br />

</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My thoughts on what I observed:</div>
<div>
I commend what they are doing. Prayer is an important thing to
do, simply our presence there stirs up something in the people coming
in. They definitely try to avoid us.</div>
<div>
However, the Word of God needs to be preached to the employees and
the people coming in for abortions. They have darkened hearts, and the
only way the scales can be removed is if God regenerates their hearts...</div>

<span class="yiv988598406text yiv988598406Rom-10-14">I think the
Scriptures need to be read aloud there ( I think Psalm 139 would be a
good place to start), and I think that men, women and children need to
be there as well. </span></div>

encourage you all to pray, make an effort to come out to the Mill this
Saturday ( I am hoping to start going there every Saturday morning). At
least to pray and read from God's Word if you do not yet fell
comfortable talking to the women.</span></div>

<span class="yiv988598406text yiv988598406Rom-10-14">** For the
most part, the women were pleasant to us when they were going into the
Mill, but there was one woman bringing her young daughter in that cussed
us out. Just want to warn you all if you do bring your children. I
still think it's a good idea for you to bring them even if there is a
chance of being cussed out. The world is full of sin and it is our job
as Christians to bring for the Light of Christ, but not everyone will
receive it well.</span></div>

about it, there is only a door separating them from life and death. What
would I do or say if they want to take the time and talk to me? I
honestly have no idea. Trusting in the Lord to guide my words. I know I
would tell them the Bible says that children are a blessing and are made
in the image of God just like they are. I would tell them about Valiant
and the Goldsmith boys. I hope to purchase some literature soon to hand
to them.</span></div>
