Killing Babies

I’m gonna just venture out here and say something quite out of the ordinary. What I’m about to say is something that was put on my heart after quite some time of the Lord dealing with me about it. Last night I was at church and the message was about caring for orphans, widows, and aliens. That’s God’s heart.

Of course, as most of you have been aware, I’m strongly against murdering babies. I think if everyone used that wording, rather than the nice term that our world has given it, then maybe people would really see what’s happening. Will and I have been watching different documentaries on the elite of the world who have one concern… to gain power. These people, either government officials or strong business leaders, want to gain power by reducing the world’s population to about half a billion people. Now, we have about 6 billion people on the earth now… don’t ya think that’s a little unreasonable? Yeahhhh, me too. So here’s the reality of it, these people don’t want me or you here. Unless you own some big company or you have been to harvard and now make millions of dollars, then they would rather us not still keep reproducing. It’s a simple way of thinking for evolutionists, kill off anyone who is of a lesser being (or so they think). This was all Hitler’s views. He was a believer in evolution and the reason why he did the things he did was to make the world a “better” place by getting rid of the people that haven’t evolved as far (or so he thought). It’s messed up.

Anyway, our world hasn’t changed that much since then. We have people still to this day, probably more than ever before, who want the world to be this amazing place with tons of money and power (basically selfishness). It’s written in the Bible, the last days really won’t be pretty. All people looking to themselves for happiness and wealth. Not caring about anyone else. It’s the opposite of what Jesus would do in the Earth.

Margaret Sanger, the creator of Planned Parenthood and of birth control, was a huge supporter of Eugenics and, no surprise, evolution. Another example of someone who supported the thought that humans should be killed in order to control population.

I don’t know what all this hulabuloo about over-population is. Seriously. Drive around in Kansas or Illinois for a while and you’ll know what I’m talking about. There’s plenty of room for us.

God created a world that would continue to flourish. A world where His people would keep multiplying so that He could spend time with them. However, Satan’s got another plan. It’s obvious to me that Satan’s main plan is to kill as many people as he can in order to ruin what God had originally planned. Think about it, 20% of the earth’s population has been killed off just in killing babies alone. Our nation makes a huge deal about Sept. 11 (which was, indeed, an awful thing)… but what about the people that are being killed day by day? 3030 people died that tragic day, while 4500 people are being killed without even a word being said about it. What is wrong with this picture?

God has been bringing so many things to the light to me about what’s really going on in the world. Try asking Him about it and really listening, if you haven’t already, because He’s eager to tell the people that want to hear. It’s sad and it’s breaking my heart, but mostly God’s.

Have you ever wondered why the killing of babies has ever been ok? Really think about it. It doesn’t make sense. Satan has blinded so many people into thinking that it’s a choice. When has life ever been a choice? The Christians are made out to be these awful people by using terms negative terms such as “anti-abortionist” while they get the term “pro-choice”. Pro anything sounds so much more loving and accepting. We are battling a war here… not just any war but one against spirits. Satan so wants this to keep going under cover so that people don’t really realize what’s going on. The longer he can go with people being distracted with other issues such as rape, incest, or women’s rights… the better for him. He’s got so many people tricked.

My goal is to bring his nasty lies to the light. That’s exactly what he doesn’t want. Wake people up! Killing babies is wrong. Period. Evil is always done in the darkness… good is done in plain daylight for people to see. Have we ever considered that maybe killing babies is done on purpose for a specific end cause? That it’s not, in fact, supporting “women’s rights”. If we were for the cause of supporting women’s rights, we would do everything in our power to support women who are hurting and in need and confused on where to go and what to do. It’s not ever a person’s “right” to kill another person. Will always says, “if I were somehow in your body, would it be ok for you to kill me?” of course not! The baby is not the woman’s body. It’s a separate life. It deserves a chance. Even the argument that says that it’s not alive because it can’t live on it’s own doesn’t make sense. If you or I were out in the arctic with nothing, no clothes no food, would that give anyone the right to kill us because we can’t live on our own? No. Many people have survived botched abortions. Isn’t that proof that it is alive?

I just don’t understand the debate… why there is even a debate. There shouldn’t be.

So… after all that ranting and rambling (ha!)… I will say this.

If anyone is considering an abortion or knows someone that is, tell them the truth. I would also like to say that if you are considering an abortion, I will find someone that would be happy to take your baby and give it a loving home or support you during your pregnancy (even if it’s me). One life is a BIG DEAL… and I’m willing to do anything to help.

Comment me and let me know.

Thanks for reading this. I know it was a lot of words… but, let’s be honest, it’s a lot of truth too. I don’t want to be shut up about this issue. That’s what satan wants. Let’s bring this whole thing to the light and do something about it.

Eyelash Tinting and Hospital

There’s been a lot of excitement around here. And when I say excitement, I don’t mean the kind that’s fun and all smiles.

I’ve been at home today with red, itchy, puffed up eyes. Let me give you the low down.

On Wednesday last week, I was at school doing what we always do… practice services on each other. We usually just do facials and things like that, but my teacher wanted us to practice eyelash tinting this time. I already have the blackest eyelashes already, but she wanted me to try it so that the other girls could practice. Without thinking, I budged. Stupid, Laura, stupid! By the looks of my eyes, I’m regretting it.

Things were fine for the first couple days. On Friday I was at school and suddenly my eyes started to itch and itch to high heaven. I had to give one of my clients away because it was so bothersome for me and I couldn’t concentrate. It got worse and worse as time progressed, and Saturday night I was fed up. I was at church trying to pay attention, but my dang eyeballs kept tearing and itching that it got to the point that I couldn’t even open them. It hurt to blink. It hurt to just keep my eyes open.

So, Will and I came home that night and I went straight to the computer and looked up eyelash tinting and tried to find some answers. Apparently, every site we went tostressed that it is highly important to do a patch test on your skin 2 days before since so many people are allergic. Also, it’s been turned into an illegal service for salons in a lot of states because it’s so dangerous. There is one case of a woman going completely blind and another woman that DIED. Say what? Yes, died. One girl wrote about her symptoms saying that her eyes were itchy, red, and in pain. After 3 weeks of thinking it would go away, she was blinded for 3 days. She described the same symptoms I had been having… and there was no way in heck that I was about to risk my eyesight for some tinting that didn’t even do anything.

So, I said to Will, “I think I need to go to the Emergency Room” and, right after, he said “Yeah. I know. God has been telling me to take you all day”.

If you know Will well, then you know that he’s not big on doctors or hospitals. He’s never even been to the emergency room. But God was telling both of us that this was a big deal and could turn bad quickly. With the eyes being so close to the brain, we wanted to move fast.

So, I went to the hospital and endured one of the most painful experiences of my life of them flushing each eye out with an entire bottle for each eye of fluid. My eyes were already agitated, so this did not feel good. I couldn’t open my eyes for the next hour or so until she put numbing drops in. I seriously looked like I was on drugs or something. It was pretty bad. The eye doctor gave me a prescription for some steroid ointment that I have to rub on my eyes every 6 hours. I’m also on a high dosage of Benadryl. I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow for a follow up. For now, I’m missing 2 days of school and just trying to sit this out. My eyes seem to be gradually getting better. I think it’s because every time I rub them, Will smacks my hand away :) ha ha. What a good husband.

We got home at about 1:00 am from the hospital and had to get up at 6:00 am for O’Fallon church. Although I still felt bad and looked awful, I threw on a hat and my glasses and headed to church with him. I even helped lead worship. Ha. I’m still thankful I didn’t faint due to the way the Benadryl was making me feel. My outlook was, Will was there for me all those hours at the hospital, and I wanted to be there for him. We’re a team now.

So… moral of the story, ladies and gents… (well, moreso ladies)

Don’t touch eyelash dye.

We will be leaving for Florida on Sunday this week and can’t wait to just relax from all the craziness that’s been taking place.
