Have you ever driven by a beautiful house and thought 'Man, they have the life. I bet nothing ever goes wrong in their life.'
Did you know that between 40% and 50% of all marriages will end in divorce.
Did you know that 43% of women will have a medically induced abortion by the age of 45?
I read an article recently about a nearby college town with a population of approximately 62,000. Last year over 3,000 babies were aborted in that city alone. That bring tears, anger and sadness to me. I have two precious children whose birth mothers choose life. My children's birth mothers could have made a different decision, but they didn't... I know it wasn't easy for them. I saw their pain. They choose to walk a tough road, but the right road. God doesn't say choosing His way will always be easy. But He does say He will walk with us.
Eating disorders are on the rise, alcohol is becoming a drug of choice; abuse, depression and infertility are haunting the women of our culture.
We live in a nation where pain and suffering is all around us.
These statics aren't just for those who don't believe in Christ. They are real. The women sitting next to you in that chair, the ladies in your Bible study, the teenage girl who is walking down the church hall, they are all apart of the statics.
When was the last time you devoted time in prayer for the women around you?
When was the last time you listened to God's nudge and took a hurting friend out for dinner?
When was the last time
you asked
you cared
you shared
so someone could benefit?

You are so right, there are so many hurting people out there! It is sometimes hard for me to open up conversation, but I find when I do most people are so willing to share and are just glad that someone cares. Thank you for the reminder.
I like your baby countdown!! :)
