Speaking Up for the Unborn Girly Girls


Life is precious. The biggest argument today between those who are pro-choice and those who are pro-life is when life actually begins after a woman becomes pregnant. I don't believe that the majority of pro-choice people truly want to kill, they just don't know they're killing because of what they've been taught - they're victims too but we're all obligated to educate ourselves, especially when it's about something as important as human life. Many abortion doctors and nurses have given their life to Jesus and found grace and forgiveness in Him when their eyes were opened to the truth and praise God for that! Check out this link about one of the famous converts: Abby Johnson What's interesting is the false teaching about unborn babies is fairly new, that if you abort a child in a womb within a certain time then it's ok because it's not alive yet - this teaching is about 50 years old. But how did we decide that a baby is not alive in the womb based on its size? With technology breakthroughs, we're able to see the baby in the womb - to the day of its conception now. Look at the picture of this 9 week old unborn baby. Do we kill it because of its size? And yet millions of babies are aborted in America in the name of choice every year.  As a woman and as a former unborn baby, I want to speak up for the choice of that unborn girly girl who won't get a chance to voice her opinion because a fully grown woman says that this little unborn girly girl doesn't have a say due to her miniature size and dwelling. My dear friends, if you've committed abortion, there is forgiveness and hope and love - you are also a victim. There are support groups available. And if you're not sure what to do, remember that choosing life will always be the right thing, God will help you and will send people your way. Here's some information for you: You Are Not Alone  Just as the great and and inspiring man, Martin Luther King Jr, had a dream for rights for all people, I also have a dream for rights for all people, including those dwelling in a womb.

13 
Psalm 139: 13-16
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]Marvelous are Your works,And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You,When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.And in Your book they all were written,The days fashioned for me,When as yet there were none of them.

You will never find me talking about celebrities since I'm not a fan of gossip magazines and I don't really follow any actresses, though you won't find me bashing them either since they are just people with the same insecurities that we all have. However, since Hollywood women have such a huge influence on how we girly girls view ourselves in the mirror, I thought this picture was worth posting: a Hollywood actress who looks healthy and beautiful and doesn't look like she's size double 00. I hope this inspires you to appreciate the woman/girl that you are when you look in the mirror. May you walk in God-confidence instead of self-confidence today. We can't trust self, since we are inconsistent but we can trust God and He is always constant. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13. Girly girl, you are gorgeous!

My Chocolate...Chocolate...


If you ask any of my friends or my family members what I love to eat they'll mention chocolate right away. It's a serious addiction and sometimes I'll go for a chocolate run in the middle of the night and I'm ever so thankful that my grocery store is open 24/seven. I'm a big milk chocolate fan but I'm also counting my calories and chocolate is loaded with them. So I found a solution that has worked wonderfully thus far. I buy organic dark chocolate with toffee and satisfy my cravings by just eating a couple of squares each day. You see, I'm not a dark chocolate fan, but I discovered that organic dark chocolate tastes better than the non-organic ones. So it's a win-win all around. Dark chocolate is healthier for me, I get my daily, delicious sweets, and I can still fit into my jeans. Now my love for caramel...well...that will be a blog for another day. I hope that you have something that brings you this kind of delicious, guilt-free joy. 

Dangers of my Imaginations


As a woman, I tend to overthink and overanalyze things. And in some cases I over imagine things and as a result I psych myself out and create imaginary problems that feel very real in my wayward heart. I write this out because I know that I am not alone. Wouldn't it be amazing to follow God's loving commandments perfectly and as a result save ourselves a lot of self-inflicted troubles? For example, what if we took God's commandment literally and we took no thought for tomorrow when it came to us worrying about things (Mark 6:34)? And what if we took every thought captive to make it obedient to Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5)? If God is telling us to do these things that means He gave us the ability to do them.
