Lindsey Graham, Being Pro-Life Is Protecting All Life

02/03/201602/04/2016 SherryAnnLeave a comment

Growing up, I was taught that male and female were created in the image of God. Life is a sacred gift and should be valued with the highest respect. It saddens me that we live in a world where life is not valued. As a nation we have lost more than the value of life, we have turned our back on God, we recently now allow same sex people get married, we have abortion which is the Holocaust of our day.

In 1966, Mississippi, became the first state to legalize abortion only in cases of rape. Babies conceived in rape have been the scapegoat from the beginning. People who were conceived in rape we get called so nasty things. We get called “the rapists child, the evil seed, the product of a rapist. We get referred to as gerbils eating their young.

I found out in January of 2008 that I was conceived in rape, and since August of 2014 I have been sharing the story. Just recently I was referred to as a gob of goo.

So many people say they are pro-life, but expect and don’t want to talk about the exceptions. Why don’t they? Is it because it is too controversial? Is it because it’s difficult to talk about? Is it because they just don’t care?

Just recently, while reading an article on www.lifesitenews.com by Ben Johnson. Lindsey Graham, (R) Senator from South Carolina recently said, On today’s “Morning Joe” program on MSNBC, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, told Mike Barnicle that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are unelectable in the fall, because they do not make enough exceptions for abortion. Graham also said, “If a woman is raped in Ted Cruz’s world, she’s going to have to carry the baby of the rapist. I’m pro-life, but I won’t go there.

Lindsey Graham, I would like to tell you I was conceived in rape and as my husband will say put ten people in a row and let me guess which one was conceived in rape. You can’t tell. My husband also says if God did not want my conception to take place, he would have stopped the conception from happening, but he didn’t. I was born to fulfill the plan that God has for my life.

Lindsey Graham, I am so glad that we have people like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio understand that being pro-life is protecting all life. My question to all those that won’t speak up and take a stand that all life should be protected is. What makes you all so special that you were born?

Created In God’s Image, Not A Gob Of Goo

It has been awhile since I have had a discussion about the “Hard cases.” The hard cases are the babies who are conceived in rape/incest or have problems in utero. Today was one of the days where the subject was taking a stand against abortion and supporting adoption.

I decided to jump in on the discussion because the topic of rape was brought up. I decided to share the short version of my story. There were those who supported me, and there were those who had their negative junk today. Well, there was a guy who in a round about way referred to babies conceived in rape as a microscopic gob of goo. Did it surprise me that this was said? No. People conceived in rape/incest we are considered the lowest of lows in society. We are deemed to be worthless and that our lives have no value.

I am so thankful that Jesus Christ does not see us as worthless. God uses those that are of low decent and rejects, and those who are nothing to be a witness and to spread the gospel and to educate others so will come to know the truth.

I Corinthians 1:28 in the Holman Christian Standard Bible says “God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world–what is viewed as nothing–to bring to nothing what is viewed as something,”

I Corinthians 1:28 in the Aramaic Bible in Plain English says “And he has chosen those of low descent in the world and the rejects and those who are nothing, to nullify those who are,”

Since I have been sharing my rape conception story, God has been opening up doors for me to reach people and to let them know that I am created in the same image of God as anyone else. I am not a thick messy substance, but a person who was conceived in rape created by God to fulfill his purpose in my life. God chose my parents for me and long before I was adopted in the city of Racine, Wisconsin my parents heard my current Pastor preach at a very young age. God ordered my steps, and many years later I met my husband, and we attend Bethel Apostolic Church in Maryland. It was in the church in August of 2014 that God spoke to me in a very profound way to share the story.

Being conceived in rape should not matter what matters is that people will understand that the raped conceived are created in the image of God just like anyone else, and God is fulfilling his plan and purpose in their lives.

A New Year of New Beginnings

It is a brand new year. A whole new book of our lives will be written this year. Today is only January 5th, and I have had a lot happen in just the few short days that this year has had. While it is a New Year of New Beginnings, it is also a year of Purpose. God has given to me my purpose and that is to continue to share my rape conception story and to educate and also reach people to God through these things. On Sunday Night, my Pastor gave some really useful guidelines for 2016. While fulfilling my purpose and what God wants me to do, I am going to be asking these questions.

Can You Ask God To Bless It? Can You Thank God For It? Does It Give God Glory? Is it of The World? Is It A Stumbling Block To Others? Is It To Please God Or Man? Do I Realize The Consequences? Is It Expedient, Will It Edify? Will His Indwelling Presence Permit It? Would I Want To Be Doing This When Jesus Comes? Does It Promote Love?

As you begin this Year ask God what is his Purpose for your life is and then ask these questions. After all one day, every knee shall bow.

A Year Of Blessings…Looking Ahead

conceived in rape_2c but i am loved 2

As 2015 Comes to an end, I am thinking about the blessings of God. Little did I know the position that I would be in at the end of this year. In August of this year, I met with the Greater Baltimore Right to Life, and we were talking about Fundraising ideas, and they asked me if I had any ideas and I did not have any at the time. Well on the way home or the next day the Lord spoke to me in a very profound way and told me to write it and get it out there. Well, I had no idea as to where this would lead. I ended up writing a small book “Conceived in Rape, But I am Loved”, and I am so blessed as to what God is doing just through that. I have decided to buy the books myself, and I have set a donation price of 5.00, and the proceeds go to help the Greater Baltimore Right to Life.

I have been helping with the Greater Baltimore Right to Life, and they have asked me to be the President of the Greater Baltimore Right to Life. I have accepted the position.

Also, this year my story was featured with many different organizations and the one that is precious to me is in November it was published in the Pentecostal Herald. The Pentecostal Herald goes all over the world, and every licensed minister in the United Pentecostal Church receives the magazine.

So many, many blessing, but I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do in 2016.

Let me say while there is so much darkness in this world, The Light of Jesus Christ shines brighter and the darker it gets, the closer we are to going to our eternal home. Where every knee shall bow, and everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!!

Walk Toward The Baby And Away From Fear

12/05/201512/06/2015 SherryAnnLeave a comment

The title of this blog came from something my birthmother said.

Can you imagine what Mary must have felt that day that the Angel appeared to her and told her that she would have a baby, and his name would be Jesus? I can imagine she was afraid. I know she was scared, she said how can this be I know not a man.

As I think about this, I think of all the women who were raped and conceived a baby. For Mary, it was a joyous occasion, but for these women it was not. When a woman becomes pregnant through rape she is afraid, she feels worthless, she was violated against, she has negative feelings about herself. When you meet her or are friends with her, please don’t tell her that the first thing she should do is have an abortion. Let her know that she is loved and that Jesus loves her, and She is made worthy through Jesus Christ. Show her Grace and Mercy. Don’t be judgemental.

Help her in any way that you can and help her see that the baby that is growing inside of her has a purpose, and the baby will help her heal. Pray with her and help her to walk towards the coming of that baby and help her to walk away from fear.

My birthmother was raped, and she stayed at a home for unwed mothers, and the people there showed her the Grace and Mercy of God. They helped her any way that they could, and they walked with her towards the birth of her baby and helped her walk away from fear.

As Mary walked away from fear towards the birth of her baby, imagine the people that talked about her, the people that turned their back on her. The day finally came where Joseph and Mary had to talk the long walk to Bethlehem. Imagine the uncomfortable ride on the donkey to get to Bethlehem where our Saviour Jesus Christ the Messiah was born.

When God Cries

11/23/201511/23/2015 SherryAnn4 Comments

My mind has been going in so many directions lately. I know that the Bible says that when we get to Heaven there will be no more crying over there.

But then I got to thinking about God. He sees all and I am sure that it breaks his heart every time that we do wrong. It breaks his heart when we choose to go our own way and not take the way that he chose for us.

God is the creator of life, and he is the only one that has the right to take it away. God created each and every one of us for a purpose. It is our responsibility to seek his face and let him lead and guide us into that purpose.

I want to touch on the subject of Abortion. I don’t understand why the life of the pre-born baby is not held at the highest level. We live in a selfish world where we think it’s all about us.

Not that long ago I heard about a woman that saw the ultrasound photo of her pre-born baby and she said that she found the peace that she needed and then had an abortion.

I believe God cries when he sees the very life that he is creating to be used for his purpose being murdered before they are born, being torn apart limb by limb before they are born, being burned alive through a saline abortion before they are born. I believe God cries when babies who are conceived out of rape/incest who are innocent pay for the crime they did not commit.

When are we as a nation going to understand that God cries when his creation is destroyed because of our selfishness? When are we going to turn back as a nation to what this country was founded upon and that is the Word of God? When will we once again value the life of the pre-born baby?

When Will The Discrimination Against The Rape Conceived End

11/09/201511/10/2015 SherryAnnLeave a comment

I have been doing some thinking today. While telling my rape conception story today trying to change the hearts and minds of people. I was told to stop being the victim, that I was judgmental, uncompassionate, and cold hearted. This is just how society treats those conceived in rape, and this is mild.

Over the last few months since I am getting more involved with the pro-life movement I have been paying very close attention to others who were also conceived in rape, they have a backbone and keep going. Those who represent the hard cases have to have tough skin.

Living in the world that we do people just get something in their head, and they think that it is right without doing research, and talking to others. Why is it that Society treats those conceived in rape/incest like they are some disease that people need to stay away from? The way that society treats us reminds me of the way people were dealt with in the Bible who had leprosy. They were considered unclean and had to be separated from the people who were found to be clean.

Just because someone is conceived in rape does not mean that they are going to become like the rapist. That is so far from the truth. I was conceived in rape and society will tell me that I have the rapist blood flowing through my veins. That is so wrong. Jesus Christ died on Calvary, and it is him blood that flows through my veins. Jesus Christ, God manifested in flesh breathed life into me.

I wonder those who devalue and dehumanize those conceived in rape if they were conceived in rape, how would they feel if people talked to them like they do us.

I don’t think that the discrimination will ever end for those conceived in rape because we live in a fallen world.

If the discrimination against those conceived in rape doesn’t come to a close, and least, show them some respect. Show respect for the mothers who are raising their children conceived in rape, show respect towards the children they did not do anything wrong. Also, show some compassion towards the mother who was raped and is pregnant from rape. Don’t automatically tell her that she should have an abortion. Love her and show compassion towards her. Value the life of her and the baby.

When A Spoken Word Becomes A Burden

11/05/201511/05/2015 SherryAnnLeave a comment

Last August, sitting in church; the Lord spoke very clear to that I was to tell my rape conception story. Over the last few months I have been getting the story out there, I have also been getting involved with the Greater Baltimore Right to Life, and they are very thankful that I have come along. A breath of fresh. I am doing everything that I can do to be a help to them.

The miracle of this spoken word was about a year and a half before that; I was dealing with the devastation that I will never have any children. The devastation was very painful that I could not even look at a newborn baby, I could not even look at a pregnant woman. Over time though that did get better for me.

Since things have been picking up, and I am going to be getting more involved to save the lives of pre-born babies, I have been thinking that this is the desire of my heart to see every child saved from the local butcher shop named planned parenthood.

Last evening while trying to go to sleep in my minds eye I saw dozens of babies in the womb the picture was moving very fast, I saw the womb and the head, arms, legs, backs, the placenta.(What I saw was pretty close to the picture above, but with many babies, flashing through my minds eye at one time). After I had seen all this all I could do was cry, because of the burden that I was given and the urgency to save these precious lives. That is when the spoken word became the burden.

Dr. Ben Carson Opposes Abortions In Cases Of Rape And Incest

10/26/201510/27/2015 SherryAnn3 Comments

Since I am someone who was conceived in rape, after last week’s offensive and nasty comments, that society now says about the rape conceived by referring the rape conceived to gerbils eating their young. I was very pleased this morning to read that Dr. Ben Carson is not for the exceptions and he is wanting to see abortion over ruled. This very welcoming news.

While on the subject of abortion with Chuck Todd, on Meet the Press Sunday, October 25th Dr. Ben Carson made reference to Abortion as to Slavery. I tend to agree with that. Slave Traders thought they could do whatever they wanted to do with the slaves. It is the same thing as abortion. We also need to think about the Nazi’s. The Holocaust. That was a horrible time for the Jews. Living in the concentration camps and being killed by the hundreds. Abortion is the Holocaust of our time and Roe v Wade became legal based on a lie. Abortion is nothing more than giving a woman the opportunity to do whatever she wants and allows people to force her into doing what she does not wish to do. Abortion is selfishness and is all in the name of convenience.

With Dr. Ben Carson having been a brain surgeon with Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD I have heard only good things about him. His movie “Gifted Hands” is a powerful movie. His mother, a single parent, taught him and his brother to work hard.

While awake in the very early morning hours I read one the greatest quotes from the article and I will remember that quote. The quote is “And all you have to do is go and look at the many stories of people who have led very useful lives who were the result of rape or incest.” Dr. Ben Carson on Meet the Press 10/25/2015.

Having people like Dr. Ben Carson taking a stand in what he believes based on the Word of God is what America needs. America needs to turn back to God.
