Adoption Awareness Month
A Praise to God
My Daughter-in-law
Abortions happen every day by women who are at seven weeks and further along. Tell me that aborting a fetus that has a heartbeat is not murder.
Witness the Miracle of Life
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's
womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works
are wonderful, I know that full well." -- Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV)
When Does Life Begin
"Eleven years ago while giving an anesthetic for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy (at 8 weeks gestation), I was handed what I believe was the smallest living human ever seen. The embryonic sac was intact and transparent. Within the sac was a tiny human male swimming extremely vigorously in the amniotic fluid, while attached to the wall by the umbilical cord. This tiny human was perfectly developed, with long, tapering fingers, feet and toes. It was almost transparent, as regards the skin, and the delicate arteries and veins were prominent to the ends of the fingers."

MISSIONS
1. If you know of someone who is considering an abortion, stop them. They will not only be taking a human life, which is murder, they will also ruin their life. Young girls don't realize the emotional problems that come, even later in life, from having an abortion.
2. If you have any information that you feel will be helpful to add to this site, please e-mail them to me at yahwehsistermail@aol.com
3. Pray diligently that people will start to realize that "Abortion is Murder" in any stage of a pregnancy.
4. Speak out about pro-life options as often as you can.
WELCOME!
The bible is very direct about life in the mother's womb:
Lu:1:42 says: "And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art
thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Babies are a
gift from God. Blessed are the babies that are the fruit of thy womb!
Eccles:11:15 says: "Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the
mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things." It is an awesome and wonderful mystery as a tiny baby grows inside the womb of it's mother. God made all things wonderful and many of them we cannot understand.
Jeremiah:1:15says: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb... God knew YOU before He formed you in your mother's womb. Your soul was alive before your flesh was planted in your mother's womb.
