inside my ultrasound

Hi...
Remember this picture? This was one of the twins little legs and feet at just 16 weeks old.

Yesterday was the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade

My heart has been so solemn knowing what this has meant for the mothers and fathers in our country.

Yesterday, Chris, Maria and I said our night prayers and we prayed for the babies all over the world who have been aborted. We also prayed for their mothers who aborted them. And the reality of what that means hit....

I remember looking at this tiny foot. I remember knowing that that foot was part of four feet fluttering and kicking inside of me. It was a part of a four knees that jabbed into my sides and made me laugh. It was apart of four tiny arms that hugged each other and hugged me. It was apart of 2 bodies that floated and squirmed and danced in my belly everyday. It was apart of 1 heart that sang to me and spoke to me when I listened to it at my weekly ultrasounds. It was apart of 2 souls that were waiting... waiting... waiting to be born. That foot was apart of two lives forever changed my life.

You see her there. You see her in this ultrasound still. If you could have seen moments after this, you would have seen her hug her sister with her two arms. You would have seen her tug her sisters ear. You would have seen her wave at her parents and kick her feet in a somersalt.
You would have seen life. This is life.

Pray for these most precious and delicate lives that grow in our bodies to be protected and given a chance to be held and loved.

From natural life to natural death. Amen.
