May the things that hurt God's heart hurt ours

As I watched a girl painfully walk out of the abortion clinic, yesterday, with her boy friend by her side, It pained me to even watch or make any type of contact with her. She looked so hurt and broken, and only God knows what she or her boy friend were feeling at the moment.
As I watched a women cross the street looking exactly like a man it made a knot twist up in my stomach. As I spoke to that same women just a week ago, I know that she professes to believe in God and know God and she could even quote certain passages in his word but of coarse quoted nothing of Romans 1 when talking about God giving the wicked up unto their own uncleanliness. She claims that God LOVES her and created, She proclaims boldly that abortion has nothing to do with going against God's law and as she went on and on twisting scripture, defending abortion, defending gay rights, and proclaiming that she knows God, I could not help but think what a disappointment she will find when she discovers that she has created a God in her own image since she chose to close her ears to our warnings. I could not tell her that God loved her but hated her sin because that would be lying so all I could do was pray for that lost, soul that is dead in sin and blinded by the truth.
 Psalm 5:4-6:
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
   with you, evil people are not welcome.
5 The arrogant cannot stand
   in your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;
 6 you destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
   you, LORD, detest.
Romans 1: 22-24
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 

As I saw a couple sitting on the train dressed as demonic figures for a Halloween party, I suppose they were going to, I could not help but notice the misery they drowned in and the darkness that possessed their bodies and pray for the blood of Jesus to free them from the burdens they are debt to. 

We live in a world swarming in wickedness and although it boggles our mind and pierces our heart we must pray for the lost and fulfill the great commission that God has called us to which is to go out and spread the good news to, all the gentiles, that Christ is risen and is coming again and they can be free from sin if they only choose to turn to the cross and follow Christ because without the blood of Jesus we lie in wait for an eternal damnation. 
Does your heart break at the things that breaks God's heart or have we become desensitized to it?

IT STARTS NOW!

Dear Bloggers, I am deeply sorry for neglecting to write in this blog. As creative writing and expressing myself does not come very naturally to me, I have put off doing it for quite some time, but I am determined to stay committed to sharing my experiences with you all and what the Lord has been revealing to me and pressing on my heart from now on. Well, before I share anything with you I must be brutally honest and confess that I have not been diligent in going to Dr. Emily's abortion clinic for quite a few weeks now. Due to summer vacations and activities we've spent most of the time away from NYC, but I have been back for a few weeks and have not gone to the clinic yet. If I wanted to, I could come up with a million different excuses why I haven't been able to go, but the reality is, I haven't had as much of a burden and passion for it like I did before. I've been procrastinating on going and very uncommitted, and although I can fool myself into thinking that God understands my actions, I will not even try to justify it. But lately I've been thinking allot about missions, about people, about lost souls, and hurting lives. It brings tears to my eyes to think of all the people in this world who don't have a relationship with their Creator or may not even know anything about God or what Jesus did for them on the cross. I think about people who have suffered poverty, abuse, starvation, and a million other hardships. I have been so blessed to be born into a family that loves God and honors his word, and I have never really suffered true pain. All my life I've known and heard about the things of God and now I can share an intimate relationship with Him and its all because of His soveriegn grace that has been sufficient over my life. Is it not our job to share these truths with those who don't know about it, those who don't know the gospel. The other night I was watching a film about a man who went to the isolated island of Tonga to bring the gospel to the tribal people. He had to learn the language and build a kingdom. For 2 years (I think) he lived, ate, worked, conversed among those people and went through all sorts of hardships to deliver the message to these people. He had a heart for them and a passion for the ministry, He was willing to leave everything to be a missionary. I asked myself, "Am I willing to stand by my father, of husband one day and go to the worst parts of this world to bring the truth to these lost souls. Do I have such a burden for people that I am willing to go through whatever I have to go through to reach out and deliver the message of salvation?" If God called us to make disciples than why aren't we doing that in our very own town. I ask myself, why do I stay quiet when there's a chance to speak up, or stay seated when there is a chance to stand up. Why do I stay silent in the crowd when there is a chance to stand alone. I don't have to wait to be a missionary. I need to be faithful NOW. Are we being faithful in our own homes? Are we being missionary to our communities? Do our piers even know about our beliefs and are we being a testimony in our music school's or secular programs. It all starts here. Are we sitting around waiting for God to bring an opportunity for us to go to another country when were not even whitnessing to our own neighbors? Are we asking God to use us when we can't even honor our parents which is the first commandment with promise! Do we desire to go to the poorest orphanages in the world when we can't even speak kindly to our younger siblings. Are we asking God to give us the strength to stand alone out in this dark world when we can't even do that among our closest friends and family. Are we setting the standard or waiting for someone else to do it first? The issue isn't that we don't have enough missionaries, the issue is we don't even realize were living in the mission field! Let us encourage one another to glorify God in every way so that he may use us in mighty ways. Be a light to your lost family, friends, neighbors, and piers. Don't pass over opportunities to plant a seed in a persons life. It starts now! :D Matthew 25: 21 - His lord send unto him, Well done thou good and faithful servant: though hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter though into the joy of thy lord.

To help, or not to help....THAT.. is the question

At Dr.Emily's abortion mil, there's one thing you can't do, and that's passing the line, the line that separates the sidewalk from the driveway. When you do that, you can get arrested for trespassing. That's the law, so we follow it, but there's moments where you really wish you could just walk all over their huge parking lot.
 There's girls that, when they walk out the door, they kneel down in pain, there's girls that can't take the stress and stand there and cry, and there's girls that are being pulled out by their boyfriend or mother. The hard part is watching it, and not being able to reach them and give them a hug, give them the gospel, or comfort them, because they are far inside the parking lot.
Two weeks ago, there was one girl who walked out, sat down lying on the wall, and started crying. I wanted to go and run to her, but there was that line that separated me from her. The worst part was that one of the three clinic escorts that day just stood there, pacing back and forth near us. Why didn't he help her? One of the pro-lifers (the one in the picture) said to the clinic escort, " Go help her! She needs help! Why don't you ask her what's wrong?" And did he do it? Nah, he started pacing again.....my bad for thinking the escort would think about helping a women crying on their floor.

Land of the free?

intro NYC Bill 371 :
This bill demands that pregnancy centers are required to state that we do not have a licenced medical staff, and that we do not provide abortions or contraceptives.
The reason for this bill? Jessica Lappin and Christine Quinn claim that pregnancy centers are "deceiving" women, and that our advertisement isn't honest.
WILL SOMEONE please tell me what is not true in the statement "FREE ABORTION ALTERNATIVES"? When we say abortion alternatives that's what we give. When we say free sonograms, we don't charge a penny, it's absolutely free. When we say free pregnancy test, we mean it.
I am extremely disappointed. I thought I lived in New York City, the most amazing city in the world. I thought this was America: land of the free; but here's our city council telling me what I can or can not say, without any reason whatsoever.
If they really care about Justice and the safety, if the council REALLY cares about women and honesty, then why don't they stick their nose up the abortion industry's dirty business, where there are multiple reports filed against abortion clinics, and video evidence of clinic staff lying to girls and covering up illegal sex trafficking of minors? Isn't that an important issue to handle? If there's no real complaints about our pregnancy centers being dishonest; if there's not a women out there that says they regret getting our free services, why are they passing a bill that is making it hard for a woman to choose life, and get help for her baby? Why are they taking away my beautiful freedom of speech? Why?
