When A Spoken Word Becomes A Burden

SherryAnnLeave a comment

CNS-LIFE-GENDER -- Behind the scenes- the model of a fetus in the womb. On Mother's Day, one of the most startling broadcasts will be In the Womb on National Geographic Channel. Pictures of unborn infants are not new but this two-hour Brit documentary uses the latest in 3-D scanning technology to provide exceptional images of a baby girl from conception to birth. Her mouth opens, she swallows amniotic fluid, hiccups, learns innate reflexes when startled, seems to recognize familiar voices and music, selects a favourite thumb to suck (at 11 weeks), dreams (but of what?) and generally is awake about 10 per cent of the time.

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

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.

The Rape Conceived Are Now Referenced To Gerbils Eating Their Young

SherryAnn1 Comment

Waste2

This is probably going to be one of the hardest things I ever will write. It has been brought to my attention that there are comedians who will use rape as being funny. Rape is horrific and traumatic. It is not something that you joke about. Yesterday, while on Facebook an article in Newsweek showed up. I tried to read it, but could not finish it. The article is very disgusting and sickening. Pure Evil. The article quotes Adrienne Truscott, saying, “….eating an infant conceived by rape, the way gerbils sometimes consume their own babies.”

Talking with my husband late last night about the article, he told me put ten people in a row and let me guess which one was conceived in rape. I would not be able to tell, he said. He also told me that is discrimination.

I was conceived in rape, and I have a very hard time understanding as to why society treats us like trash being crushed in the garbage compactor. What makes us any different? It is all because of the reason of our conception.

I got to thinking about the rape conceived being referenced to gerbils eating their young. I did some research,  Why do Gerbils eat their young? “Gerbils eat their young when a baby gerbil has died, the mother gerbil will eat their young if she feels stressed, and gerbils will eat their young mainly when they feel that the babies are insecure.”

Just sickening having those conceived in rape being referenced to gerbils eating their young. When a woman is raped it would be natural for her to feel stressed but having an abortion will only add more stress. Support the mother and allow that precious baby that God is creating in the womb of the mother to bring healing to the mother.  Since I have been sharing my rape conception story I have come across others who were conceived in rape, and they have the backbone to stand up for the life of the pre-born babies, they are grateful for their life and thankful for their mothers choosing life. The rape conceived are not insecure people. We are people who are firm in what we believe, and that is taking a stand and speaking up for those who have no voice.

For This Cause I Was Born

SherryAnn2 Comments

John 18:37 “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”

Last night at church my husband testified about this very verse. On the way home I told him I could write on this. As I sit here at my desk in the den writing this, I would like to ask you some questions. Have you ever wondered why you were born? Why God breathed Life into you? Have you ever wondered what plans God has in store for your life?

I have thought about these questions over the years. The older that we get I believe that we think about these things more often. I have always wondered God what is your plan for my life. Well, the plan is unfolding. God’s plan for my life.

Memories of 9/11

SherryAnn1 Comment

 

 

As I think back Fourteen years ago, I remember what I was doing. I had woken up, and I heard about the first tower and then I remember hearing about the second tower. My brother at the time was working for Delta Airlines. He called home and told us that all planes have been grounded. I then I called my friend who I was to take to the airport so she could visit her mom in New York. I told her Your not going. All planes have been grounded and the mess that was going on in New York. I said to her turn on the news and call your airline to see if your flight is still on schedule.

I also remember that Saturday my parents and I were to fly out to Maryland and spend time with my boyfriend at the time and his Sister and her family. We could not make it because of the tragedy that happened a couple of days before.

This morning as I watched the news from 14 years ago I thought We remember this every year on the day. But how often do we take the time to remember the lives of the unborn children who lose their lives the horrific act of abortion every day. Abortion is the Holocaust of our day. Millions of lives have been cut short with no voice to be heard because of abortion. I wonder how many babies were aborted that day 14 years ago?

Recently we have seen videos of the atrocities that planned parenthood is doing and getting away with it. When I saw these videos, I was sickened, and I cried and said Oh Jesus help us. It is because of these videos that I found out my very life could have ended at a planned parenthood clinic before it was legal. It did something to me when I found that out.

While I talk about memories of 9/11, I wonder how many of us woke up remembering the price that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ paid and thanking him for another day to live.  As I think about these things from 9/11, It makes me want to remember to pray every morning thanking God for the price he paid and thank him for another day. It makes me want to spend time reading his word and living the best life that I know how.  It also makes me want to take a stronger stand to help protect the life of the unborn.

I hope the memories of 9/11 that you have has changed your life and helps you realize as to how fragile life is.

Silence Is Not Golden For The Unborn

SherryAnnLeave a comment

Silence maybe golden at times, but not when it comes to the life of the unborn. Yesterday I had the privilege not to be silent. Yesterday was Labor Day here in the United States. I had the privilege to take part of being at the Maryland Right to Life booth for a few hours. The Maryland Republican Party booth was right next to ours. I was able to meet Rich Douglas, who is running for US Senate. I asked him where he stand on pro-life issues. He is for the exceptions. I had the privilege to share the short version of my conceived in rape story with him. When I told him that my very life could have been taken away from me through an illegal abortion at a planned parenthood clinic, he just looked at me. I pray it makes him think. I also had the opportunity to talk with a young lady who is pro-choice. Shared with her my story and I told her to think about it as she watched the video of a 4D Ultrasound of the baby in the womb. She said she would. I met so many people yesterday most of the responses were positive. So many people thanked me for being there.

My favorite part was seeing the small children come to the table, and I was able to show them the unborn baby at seven weeks in the womb and various stages up to 30 Weeks. I would say can you believe you were that tiny. They would just look at me with amazement.

At towards the end of the day when my relief came I was able to share with them my story and let them know about the responses from the day. He told me that from all over the state they see a more positive outcome.

Over the last few days, I have been thinking that these videos that have been surfacing about planned parenthood dismembering and selling baby body parts are awakening people up. More people want to get involved with the pro-life movement and take a stand for life.

When you speak up and take a stand for the life of the unborn, you see things change. It made me glad yesterday to hear so many stories and seeing people 100 percent pro-life.

It Could Have Been Me

SherryAnnLeave a comment

It could have been me

There are many people who were/are conceived in rape, I am one of them. Just recently I found out that my very life could have ended at Planned Parent before abortion became legal, so the emotions have been all over the place.  Last night I watched the recent video in the Planned Parenthood scandal. It was heart-wrenching to watch it. Seeing the baby boy about 20 weeks gestation moving around in what I call the mixing bowl fighting for his life broke my heart. How can anyone do this to the precious lives of pre-born babies that God is creating for a purpose? When are people going to wake up? The recent video has been the hardest for me.  Thinking about that baby boy I am in tears because it could have been me. It could have been anyone of us.

In 1966, Mississippi became the first state to legalize abortion in cases of rape/incest. Why the target of the precious life that God created to bring healing and love? Babies conceived in rape are no different than anyone else. It is not the babies fault.  I know very well why society likes to send the innocent to the slaughter house. The reason is that the rapist can go and rape again. If the criminal is caught, they only get a slap on the wrist. But the baby dies for the crime.

The value of life is no longer valued in our country. Prayer has been taken out of public schools, abortion is rampant in this country, homosexual marriage is now recognized. We have criminals who get honored, and the lives of our military are cast by the wayside by leaders in our country. The lives of animals have more protection and more valued than the life of the unborn. Our country has forgotten God. Our country is headed for socialism where the government has control of everything that we do, what is wrong is now right, and what is right is now wrong.

It is going to take a great shaking to get this country back on its knees. When the shaking happens, I pray that a worldwide revival and the Holy Ghost falls again on this country. Just like the Azusa Street Revival in 1906.

Thank You, Mike Huckabee

SherryAnnLeave a comment

 

Thank You

As I sit here thinking about the way that our world is going, I am thankful for the positive things that I read. Just recently I read an article on Lifesitenews.com by Dustin Siggins.

The article is about Mike Huckabee’s response to CNN’s Dana Bash about the 10-year-old girl in Paraguay who was raped and gave birth to a baby.

There are some good things that Mike Huckabee said. He said, “A 10-year-old girl being raped is horrible,”  “But does it solve a problem by taking the life of an innocent child? And that’s really the issue,” said the former Arkansas governor. “I know people. I worked for a man for several years, James Robison, who was the result of a rape. His mother went to three doctors in Houston, Texas, in 1943, begged doctors to abort the baby. None of them would do it. They all refused. Today, his organization feeds, cares for, and brings living capacity for water to hundreds of thousands of people across the world. That would never have happened, Dana.”

Mike Huckabee also said, “No, it isn’t easy,” Huckabee replied. “And I wouldn’t even pretend that it’s anything other than a terrible tragedy. But let’s not compound the tragedy by taking yet another life. And I always think we sometimes miss the fact that, when an abortion happens, there are two victims.  One is the child. The other is that birth mother, who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later, when she begins to think through the – what happened with the baby, with her.”

While there is much negativity going on in the news and the world today. One of the greatest things that I have heard in a long time is a Presidential Candidate say, “I just come down on the side that life is precious, every life has worth and value.”-Mike Huckabee

When are we as a nation going to realize that every life is valuable? When are we going to stop using rape as an excuse to have an abortion? Just the other day I was sharing my story with someone and told them that my Biological great aunt could have arranged for my birthmother to have an illegal abortion. Their response back to me was I am glad her aunt gave her that option. What they said did not set well with me, and I got sick to my stomach. I have been sharing my rape conception story for a year now, and this was the first time that someone said that to me. It was as if they were saying that I should be dead

We as a nation need to get down on our knees and repent of our wickedness and realize that we are created by God, who sees us valuable. To him we are special, we are loved, we are valuable. I just want to say, Thank you, Mike Huckabee, for standing up and seeing every life is precious and valuable.

Defunding Planned Parenthood

SherryAnnLeave a comment

VALUES_Fbk_FoundationForABetterLife

I am sure that many of you are well aware of the two undercover videos that were put out in the last couple of weeks about planned parenthood selling baby body parts. It is sickening. Not only is it sickening but they are doing things that are illegal. With the recent events of this the Senate and Congress are wanting to defund abortion altogether or at least that is what they want you to think.
If you read these bills, you will see that they have the rape/incest exceptions in them. I am appalled by this as well as upset. Once again our Congress and Senate is saying that my life does not have any value and neither to others who were conceived in rape/incest. God created us in his image and to him we are all valuable. The United States has turned her back on the very foundation that it was built upon. The Word of God.

Luke 6:48-49 (KJV) says, ” He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.  But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”

It is heartbreaking that our government is not standing for biblical principles. It is sad to say but when will they realize that they are not valuing all life from to natural death. Will they realize it when they stand before God one day and have to give an answer?  I urge Christians that have a backbone stand up for the Value of Life and also take a stand for things that are Biblically Correct not politically correct.

The Power Of Your Testimony

SherryAnnLeave a comment

If you struggle with wondering if your testimony that you share is changing people. Rest assured it is. When I first started to share my Rape Conception story, I struggled with it. Am I making a difference? The more that I share it, the more I see God at work.  I trust God at all times and Trust that he is changing hearts and minds when I share my story. It is rewarding when you can see it.
I would like to share with you one of those moments. Yesterday on Lifenews.com Facebook page was an article about Mike Huckabee, saying Defunding Planned Parenthood is not enough; We must end Abortion. As I read through the comments, one comment hit me, and I would like to share the conversation with you.

 
Person: Hey Mike…….have you ever been raped.

Me: I was conceived in rape. My Life matters and so do all the unborn babies who are conceived in rape. We should not have to pay for the crimes of our birth fathers.
Person: Sherry I never thought of that…..thanks for the insight….will do some rethinking.I sent the person the link to my story and told them that I will pray that it will help them.

I prayed for the person, and I waited for the person to respond and this morning I checked to see if there was a response and there was. This is the response; I am glad I got a chance to see the other side of this topic……I will give it some serious thought…..thanks for sharing your story…….it helps me in my thinking, and I do understand your point. And I do think your right. And will pass it on to others……thank you.

 
God takes difficult situations and turns them around for good. I am so Thankful that God told me to tell and share my Rape Conception story.
