The truth will out

       In the Bible we have so many verses that deal with the importance of the truth and the fact that everything will come to light one day. In When Mercy Rains by Kim Vogel Sawyer a family is torn apart by lies.  Suzanne Zimmerman has long been estranged from her mother and family after being sent of in the night to cover an out of wedlock pregnancy.  Twenty years later Suzanne is summoned back home and the tension created by lies and bitterness have only grown stronger. The story is told from four different points of view Suzanne Zimmerman, her daughter Alexa, her mother Abigail, and Paul the boy who fathered her child. All four of them learn the value of the truth and the importance of grace and mercy as they seek to untangle the web of lies.  This story gave me much food for thought and the importance of truth and transparency in my own life.

Pray for the Unborn and all those affected by abortion!!!

Today on the 42nd anniversary of the Roe vs Wade we gather together in prayer and fasting in an effort to end abortion. I would like to share some books that are very appropriate for what we are praying for today.  unPlanned by Abby Johnson tells the story of her journey from Planned Parenthoom worker to prolife activist. The first chapter is not for everyone as it does describe an actual abortion procedure which Abby witnessed first hand.  On the fiction side you have The Atonement Child by Francine Rivers which chronicles the effect of abortion on multiple generations.  In All Right Here by Carre Armstrong Gardner Ivy and Nick's marriage is on the rocks and the effects of a long ago abortion are still felt. If you or someone you know has had an abortion there is help available through Project Rachel. Check our their website http://hopeafterabortion.com/
                                                               Have a prayerful day,
                                                                                Nina
