Wow. A month has already come and passed in 2009. I realize I am only 23, but time is really flying faster and faster. I am not trying to be morbid, but before I realize I will be done with this part of life. If one month, even one year can slip by so easily, it really challenges me to think. It can either be a good thing in that I spent the year wisely and can be grateful for what I did with it, or I can look back and think, "Wow, what did I do with this year?"
I mean really, what am I doing with my time?!
Does it have purpose?
I believe my life, thus, the time I have in it, does serve a purpose... But am I fulfilling it? It is designed to have purpose, but I am doing with it what I was designed to do...
I am trying my best. I do have regret, but I also have gratitude in the power God has allowed to me to walk in His design. I am definitely feeling my way through alot of dark times, but His Word is a lamp unto my feet and with it and His voice calling me forward, I will not give up the journey and I will not let it be a waste.
Thank You for grace- my sin erased -You called me as Your son
For I did rebel into the grip of hell- yet You give me what You've won
Life
Yes, a life to live that death will give as I join You in the tomb
I die to sin, am raised again as I emerge from eternity's womb
Come quickly

2- What you need to know about the FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT
As one of the bill’s co-sponsors, Senator Barack Obama promised the abortion lobby that this will be the first piece of legislation he will sign into law as president of the United States of America.
The Freedom of Choice Act overturns virtually all federal and state pro-life laws. FOCA would also overturn all restrictions on public funding of abortion and require we the taxpayers to pay for elective abortions.
What FOCA does:
* Creates a new federal right to abortion and would repeal the Hyde Amendment allowing unlimited federal funding for abortion.
* Removes all safeguards (“interferences”) currently in place at the state or federal level. These include:
* Full disclosure to the patient (ultrasound images of the unborn child, details about pain inflicted on the baby, any information about long-term complications for the mother)
* Parental notification for minors seeking abortion
* Waiting periods
* Restrictions based on fetal viability allowing for abortion on demand through the ninth month of pregnancy
* Protections for doctors and nurses who refuse to perform or assist in an abortion
* Protections for religiously affiliated hospitals as well as public hospitals that currently do not perform abortions
* Exclusions for abortion coverage from health care plans of federal employees
* Overturns the partial-birth abortion ban, a gruesome late-term procedure involving the forced extraction of the infant from the mother’s womb, insertion of a device to suction the brains from the baby’s skull allowing for the skull to be crushed facilitating its removal from the birth canal.
The majority of Americans support these common-sense protections. The Freedom of Choice Act is extreme even for many who identify themselves as "Pro-Choice."
