Made for LIFE

Made...For 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..."

Psalm 139:13-14a

"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

John 17:3

INSPIRATION

Made for LIFE was inspired by the birth of my first daughter, Lilian. Though I did not get to know Lilian in this world, I have learned a lot about the value of life from that experience.

You see, due to a rare condition, my little one had died in the womb and so she was born at just 20 weeks old. I am so grateful to have had the privilege of holding my baby girl-a precious premature child. So many women never have that opportunity. After bringing forth 3 healthy children since then, I have seen that, even at 20 weeks, Lilian looked just like her newborn, full-term siblings! All her parts were fully formed, uniquely recognizable and beautiful!

Having witnessed this, I am convinced that more women need to be aware of the beauty and preciousness of their preborn children, especially in a culture that teaches that the life of a child does not begin until birth.

For eye-opening information about the "progress" and policies of reproductive health worldwide, check out the Guttmacher Institute website. I feel compelled to warn you though, that the institute is a STRONG supporter of abortion rights, so keep that in mind as you read through the volumes of statistics and commentary they provide on unintended pregnancies and woman's health issues in general.
