Camp Joshua North Carolina!

A couple weeks ago, I received an email from the Assistant Director of North Carolina Right to Life. She had read my story on LifeSiteNews and happened to notice in my bio that I live in Raleigh, NC. She contacted me and we got together over coffee. She's super sweet and has wonderful passion for LIFE! I really enjoyed our time together. :)

Anyways, I am excited to be getting involved in pro-life ministry around the state I live in! I had just been praying recently about getting involved locally, rather than just traveling to other states. Well, now God has answered that prayer.

Camp Joshua is a pro-life camp that inspires and equips high-school students to be leaders in building up the Culture of LIFE! It is already around the country, but is coming to North Carolina this summer!

So, NC high-school students and parents of high-school students who are interested:

The camp will be over the weekend of July 19-21 in Smithfield, NC.

I will be speaking and sharing my story, and will also be a counselor there.

If you know of anyone else who might be interested in this, please share it with them! Let's get lots of high-schoolers to Camp Joshua this first year in NC!

For more information, visit Camp Joshua NC's website: www.CampJoshuaNC.org (If you live in another state, you might like to search and see if Camp Joshua is coming to your community).

I'm very excited about this amazing camp and hope to see you there! :)

OCTOBER BABY!

The new Pro-Life movie, OCTOBER BABY, comes out TODAY!! It is very powerful! Lives will be saved, hearts will be changed, and hurting people healed. The storyline is similar to the real-life story of two precious friends of mine.

In order for films like OCTOBER BABY to continue being made, audiences need to be willing to see it in theaters. Movie industry success is based on how well a movie does on its Opening Weekend. For OCTOBER BABY, that means what happens this Friday through Sunday, March 23-25, will determine if the movie has an extended run in the theaters where it's opening and if it will expand to other theaters around the country.

I ask that if you have time this weekend, take your friends and family to see this in theatres. And be sure to stay through the credits, which include the real-life testimony of actress Shari Rigby. Also, share it on your own pages and blogs. You can purchase your tickets early at www.octoberbabymovie.net You will be blessed by it!! Thank you :-)

Blog Giveaway in honor of Lily's 2nd Birthday

In honor of Lily Katherine's 2nd Heavenly birthday, I am hosting a blog giveaway. The prize is a copy of the Pro-Life movie, Sarah's Choice. This movie has been such a blessing to me and I am sure it will bless you too. Whether you win or not, it is a movie worth purchasing. It came out in November 2009, when I was around five months pregnant. I literally got it the day it came out. It's a movie that echoes much of what I was experiencing in my own life at that very time. One of the first posts I wrote on this blog was about this movie. You can read that by clicking here.

One of my all-time favorite songs is from this movie. It is called Little One by Rebecca St. James. My roommate at Ellerslie, Bonnie, and I would listen to it on repeat. Faith liked it too and had it memorized in no time :) I actually hadn't heard it in a long time because it wasn't available for purchase on iTunes until recently. Bonnie played it and right away the tears came. It reminded me of the time I carried her and all the dreams I had for her life. It reminded me that she will never grow up. It made me wonder if she might be a voice for unborn life had she lived. The Lord has gently reminded me that she is a voice for the voiceless, even without speaking a word or taking a breath. What a legacy. I first heard it at the end of the movie and my heart was gripped by the words. I would just weep and weep. The one particular line that got me the most was: I can't believe that I could ever think that you were not to be. I had an appointment at Planned Parenthood set up to abort Lily. Then God radically transformed my life and placed a love within me for my tiny babe that I never dreamed possible...

Here is a trailer:
