Guest Post

I am so excited to be sharing this with y'all....Katie is one of my very dearest friends... I asked her a little while ago if she would write a guest post for V.O.T.I....hope y'all enjoy it as much I did!

 

 

Many times I've thought this very same thing.  "I'm not a legal adult.  What difference can I make?"

Well, I want to tell you that I was wrong.  We, as teenagers, and even children, have a lot of influence.  More than we realize.  Sometimes the smallest act can make a big difference.

So take your stand.  Write a letter against abortion.  It could be just the thing to convince a voting adult.  Let's save the unborn children together, because they're worth fighting for.  Be the voice of an innocent baby.

USA TODAY

Hello Everyone,

I want to apologize for not updating the blog sooner.  This new school year has been keeping me rather busy...but, I do have some information concerning our new campaign, so listen up! :)

This time, we are asking letter writers to send their pro-life letters to the USA TODAY (their letter plicy can be found here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/How-to-send-letters-to-USA-TODAY.htm ). Our current sendout date is February 14, 2012.  I will let you know if this date changes.

Please be praying about this project.  Continue to pray that God will be glorified and people will see the truth about abortion.  Please also pray that God will bring many, many people to be part of this project. 

If you plan on writing a letter, please let me know! I would really love to know how many letters will be going out, so please tell me if you're going to send a letter! 

Remember to check out our Facebook page.  You can find it at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Voices-of-the-Innocent/177964268906636 .

Thanks everyone!

God bless,
Emily

An Overdue Update

First of all, I want to apologize to everyone for the lateness of this blog post.  I should have updated y'all sooner...totally my fault! :}

February 14 was an exciting date for me.  I was thrilled with what God was doing and what He had allowed us to accomplish.  God brought so many wonderful people (the majority I did not even know!) to be part of this project!  I am very thankful for that...Praise the Lord for His goodness! I'm not for sure on how many letters got sent out (I'm thinking 20+!), but I am thankful for each one that was sent.  Thank you to everyone who helped us with this.  Together, we were able to protest the murder of the innocent-something that we must continue to do until abortion is STOPPED completely!  My letter was not published, but that's okay. God does not expect success from us-but He does expect effort.  It's our responsability to try, and then we must leave the results in His hands!

I will close for now, though I would like to remind everyone to be praying for the people out in Tenessee, Alabama, and Georgia who have been affected by these storms.  Pray for healing and grace...pray that God will reveal Himself to those who have been hurt.

God bless,
