My 91FM Audio Testimony Part 2: "My Story"
I started this website blog on March 11, 2006. According to my entries log for this website, this is my 100th post. I started blogging on blogspot on January 15th, 2006...
(methinks I am long-winded)
On the left sidebar you will find more audio buttons. There are a few things I am leaving out that I do not feel are necessary. They are each about 2 minutes long...
I am having technical problems. (Most likely due to the fact that I am techno-challenged ... right, Mr. Challies?) The recorder only allows me to do 2 minute segments.
Comments
Lisa,
It is through tears I listened to these latest segments. Your situation was somewhat similar to what I know of my natural mother's. I know little of my natural parents other than my mother was rather small in stature, and that she and my natural father were in the midst of divorce when she learned she was pregnant with me. No names, no addresses, no contact, but I am so grateful that she elected to give me up for adoption, and that a wonderful Christian couple, whom I know as my God-given parents, adopted me as an infant. This was 1966, and back then, my natural mother could only have obtained an abortion if she had visited some dark back-alley in urban Pensacola, Florida. Abortion vs. adoption is near to my heart, as I know the issue is to yours, as well. Anticipating the remainder of the audio with baited breath, and seeing once again how God can & does use the most remarkable things for His ultimate glory.
You have a powerful testimony, here, my friend. How awesome is our God!?
So grateful for grace,
little_gal

Well Littlegal, my friend... I would have never imagined that the Lord would use such things for His glory.
You and I are very close in age, by the way. :-)
Jon and I are so honored that the Lord would also bless us with the adoption of the twins. Please pray for them. You know how difficult it is... there is a sense of rejection that only the Lord can fill that void. Even though I was their Great Aunt and they are adopted family, it will still hurt. Pray that the Lord draws them to Himself at an early age... all of my children, that is my deepest longing for them as their mother.
Though I would love for them to be spared the grief that this world can bring, I do not hestitate to say, "Whatever it takes"... for in light of eternity, the trials of this world are but a blink of an eye. (it takes 1/50th of a second to blink your eye.)... and yet that is what Christ's return is likened to. May I never speak of my Lord and Saviour, especially to my children, with carelessness... as though I did not believe what I say I live for, my only hope of joy, no matter what circumstances come about.
...For none of us know when we are going to die.

Lisa,
Hearing you talk about your mother, I did not know until now. I grew up with my parents boozing up like it was a drinking party every night and the weekends were the worst. But still, we went to church every Sunday. Makes me a very confused child during the 70's. Dealing with a hearing disablity, I turned to God every night and prayed even til today.
I very much want my sister, who also had an abortion when she was just 14 years old to hear your testimony. (If I ever get her to come to my house)
Thank you for sharing from your heart.
