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

New Letter-writing project

Dear Friends,


I’d like to share some exciting news with y’all…Voices of the Innocent is doing another letter writing project! I had been praying about another project, and after receiving a little note from a friend asking about our blog, I knew it was time to get started. The fight to end abortion is not over, so our efforts should not stop. I am very thankful for everyone who helped make our last project possible, and hope that God will lead you to be part of this project.

Before I even give you the details to our new project, I’d like to ask you be praying about this. Pray that GOD will be a part of this project. Pray that GOD will lead people to write letters. Pray that GOD will guide us through this journey. Pray that GOD will receive ALL of the glory.

Okay…the details! :) This time, I’m asking people to send their pro-life letters (once again, on the same day) to one newspaper. I’m thinking about either the “NEW YORK TIMES” or “USA TODAY. I’ll let you know which one for sure ASAP.

Our send-out date is going to be in February again. It’ll give us plenty of time to reach out to others and tell them about our project. Please, please, please be telling others about this! Give the blog link to friends on the internet or perhaps share our project idea with your youth group or Homeschool group! Be spreading the word so that we can have as many people as possible involved in this.

I will try and update the blog soon. Olivia has been staying very busy this summer, so I’m not sure when or how often she will be able to post. But until next time, God bless!

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,

--Emily--

Prayer Request.....

Hey all,

I wanted to ask you y'all to pray for a family that my family is acquainted with.  Their 16 year old son was lifting weights at school, and apparently when he went to put the weight back on the stopper thingy, it didn't catch, and the weights fell on his chest.  When everyone had found him, he was purple.  They took him to a hospital, and found out that he was brain dead.  PLEASE, keep this family in your prayers.  I have not heard whether he has died or what, but I will let y'all know.

Thanks everyone!!

Letter from Jennifer....

 This is a letter that Jenn wrote, and she said that I could share it with y'all!!  Enjoy!! =) 


~Olivia~

Between 1973 and 2005, 45 million pregnancies were legally terminated, according to The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) as reported on Abort73.com. Abortion continues to destroy 22 percent of all U.S. pregnancies and 15 percent of all Texas pregnancies (AGI).
            Today, through agencies like Planned Parenthood and other falsely helpful organizations, many people do not realize that abortion kills an innocent child. Though labeled as simply a mass of cells, a fetus is a human being.
            Three weeks after conception, an unborn child’s heart begins to beat, according to SomebodyLovesYourBaby.com. Brain waves are measurable at six weeks, and a baby can smile, frown, wince, or pout at ten weeks, according to the same source. An unborn child can recognize its mother’s voice while still in the womb. A fetus is a living baby.
            In the political realm, the word choice is used often, and only in the mother’s favor. It is the mother’s choice whether or not to continue the pregnancy, they say, because she will be most affected by the decision. A person who is pro-choice is said to side with the mother.
            But how does abortion affect the child inside the womb? Greatly, because it ends his or her life. What choice would the baby make, if he or she had the chance to raise his or her voice? Would he or she be pro-choice or pro-life?
            Too often abortion occurs because of a lack of understanding and knowledge about abortion. There are options aside from abortion. SomebodyLovesYourBaby.com encourages women to choose adoption. Local pregnancy crisis centers provide support to women who choose life.
            This Valentine’s Day, I choose life. No child deserves to die before he or she has a chance to live. Let the voices of the innocent be heard.

"I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do"
