“Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” John 21:25 NIV

As I contemplate what to say to my readers today, I cannot help but reflect on America’s election results. I must admit that, although I prayed that America would reject the woke agenda, I was fearful that she would choose it. And then what? Would God give us over to our delusions and sinful ways?
“and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10 NIV
But, America rejected abortion through all months of pregnancy. She rejected the lie of transgenderism which supports the mutilation of our children. She rejected the abandonment of Israel. She rejected many kinds of evil. For this, I am eternally grateful because I love America and could not imagine how I would endure her complete rejection of life and truth.
So I am thankful today and filled with joy. Please believe me when I say, my hope is not in any man. My hope is in God. However, God allows us to make choices. And choices have consequences, as you know.
“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NIV
I believe God answered the prayers of many Christians. He has given us more time to enjoy freedom and use it to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has given us more time to speak the Truth in God’s Word.
Many Christians around the world are severely persecuted. For the time being at least, America will not become part of that group. So we must recognize that we have been given a reprieve and take advantage of the fact that we can continue to freely gather in our churches and preach the Gospel with all boldness and unafraid. For the time being, there will be no “misinformation police” to stop the preaching of the Gospel. Be thankful.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:16-20 NIV
Dear Lord, We thank you for your mercy and love. We thank you for all our many blessings. Help us to be doers of the Word. Help us to do everything You want us to do. Give us boldness and wisdom as we interact with the lost. Teach us to walk in love. Give us a deep love for Your Word and a hunger to know it well. Give us discernment, that we might walk in Truth. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
In His Love, Cindy

Jesus said to His disciples, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:26-28 NIV Read full chapter
My thoughts: Do we want to be honored and praised for our ministry or do we seek to serve? To seek exaltation is a snare.

Many, if not most women are traumatized after having an abortion. But you will never hear about that because Pro-Abortion proponents don’t want you to know the heart-breaking, hidden side of abortion.
The following quotes are just a few testimonies from real women who had abortions and what they want other women to know.
It’s been 50 years, but I am still grieved. Only through the forgiveness of Jesus have I been able to live with what I did.
Nobody will ever understand what you will go through after it’s all done. Abortion doesn’t make a baby go away, it just makes a dead baby.”
I pray God forgives me and that someday I’ll see my baby in heaven. It’s been 26 years and I will never forget.”
I’m 51 and had my abortion when I was 18. I think about my baby every day.”
I am 70 years old; I had an abortion 30 years ago. I still regret my abortion every day of my life. I think about the baby that I aborted.…
I killed my baby, it has been 33 years, please don’t kill your baby it will change your life forever…”
I made the biggest mistake of my life and didn’t see it, until it was too late. I regret going through with the abortion. I’m lost, hurt, and the guilt is eating me alive.
We are told as women we have a choice but no one explains what we are choosing. I doubt many would choose to feel the way I have for 10 years so that is why I am SILENT NO MORE.
There is no safety net at Planned Parenthood to protect women who may be at risk for traumatization. They don’t care.
A textbook of the National Abortion Federation has identified many “negative reactions” (p.28-29) that some women have after abortion; some are trauma symptoms: nightmares about babies, insomnia, negative emotions of
guilt, anger, worthlessness, and shame, “blocking out the experience,” avoiding things that trigger memories about the abortion, “engaging in self-punishing behaviors such as substance abuse . . . and relationships with abusive partners,” suicidal thoughts, “relentless thoughts of
being a bad person,” and various self-destructive behaviors (Baker, Beresford, Halvorson-Boyd, & Garrity, 1999 pp.28-29).
Current Data on Side Effects of Abortion
In Rue et al. (2004), 30% of the American women reported nightmares associated with their abortion.
Intrusion symptoms reported after abortion include nightmares, flashbacks, and memories that “seemed to intrude despite trying to forget” (Dykes, Slade, & Haywood, 2010).
In a study comparing 331 Russian and 217 American women, 48% of the Russians and 65% of the Americans reported one or more intrusion symptoms
specifically related to a past abortion (Rue, Coleman, Rue, & Reardon, 2004).
There is a lot more data. You can read the article by Martha Shuping, M.D., M.A. at Counterpoint: Long-Lasting Distress after Abortion to access more studies.
Did You Know?
“Abortion is known as a main cause of maternal mortality, life-threatening complications such as hemorrhage, fever, and infection on the one hand, and psychological disorders such as regret, guilt, smoking, alcoholism, self-destructive behaviors, and even suicide on the other.” NIH (National Institutes of Health)
You probably haven’t heard about these studies and for obvious reasons. The abortion industry doesn’t want you to know! They want women to believe that pro-life groups want to take away their right to health care. They want women to believe that their pregnancy isn’t a baby. It’s a clump of cells. This is all propaganda. If they really sought the welfare of the woman as they purport to do, they would show her an ultrasound and make sure she had all the facts. But, well, they would lose a lot of money if they did that!
“Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,” Romans 1:18 NIV Read full chapter
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
