“Let No One Ever Come to You without Leaving Better and Happier” Mother Teresa I cant think of a better example of someone who has done this consistently and made their life about doing this…leaving every person that came to her better and happier! What if we did this?
In today’s society we are all so caught up in our own lives that we don’t think about how our actions or words...

It’s hard to believe that a year ago my life changed…in more than one way. Not only did I find out that I’m an abortion survivor, but I realized that God had different plans than I had for my life. It was for the better, don’t get me wrong, but I could NEVER have planned for it.
It has given me a voice for my twin and the millions of babies that have been silenced. The things in my...

Its funny how God has called me to go into so many places to share His story of love and graciousness through my birth and survival of two attempted abortions (one that successfully took the life of my twin) but I more often than not leave more impacted than my listeners/audience.
My example and the time that I have been most impacted happened this week while I spent my entire week in Denver,...

Why be appreciative of a Birth Mother?
I dont know about you but I think there is a lot to appreciate about a birth mother.
A birth mother gives a child LIFE and a chance to have a happy, successful time on this earth. A birth mother puts the life and future of her unborn child before her own future. A birth mother gives a child a chance to have a mom and a dad and a steady family thats READY and...

I spent the weekend with my best friend, Abby Johnson. We worked on my talk alot. I learned how to put someone/anyone in my birth mothers shoes when she was...

A couple weeks ago as I was interviewing with a radio station, something struck me…
Although my personality/way I respond to things is partially from genetics…it mainly has to do with how I was raised. The 2 people who raised me; Warren and Barbara, taught me to embrace every situation as an opportunity to TRUST God and show people his love and mercy…although my parents are not...

Did you know…God created each one of us for a reason?
“Before you were born, I knew you…every day of your life was written in my book.” -Jeremiah 1
I love being able to tell my story…it helps all people affected by abortion or adoption in some way…it’s really humbling because I DID NOTHING, I was just born when I really should have been dead..and so I...

This past weekend I shared my story at the Hope For Life Conference in Dallas, TX. The conference was filled with men and women who help in saving so many babies lives…many of these men and women have been affected by abortion and use their own stories to help others who have been affected by abortion or who are considering abortion.
One woman who I met really stuck out to me…I will...

I’m sure many of you know who Abby Johnson is…She was the director of Planned Parenthood (the largest abortion clinic company in the country) and worked with them for 8 years. She had a change of heart after seeing a baby fight for it’s life on a ultrasound guided abortion procedure. Abby left the abortion industry and now speaks up for the unborn and the women who have no idea...

Tuesday I was sidewalk counseling at the College Station clinic. I talked to a young hispanic girl who was curious why were out there. I got to share my whole story with her and give her some information on other places to go inlcuding my flyer with my story of being an abortion survivor/adopted. I feel very confident that she will go somewhere else for birth control (thats why she was there)...
