Abortion... it's such a hush hush... But life is life... I think I need to speak up - I am pro life! are you!?

My friend Lyrycyst and Rachael Lampa - I have heard Steven (lyrycyst) share his story many times, and wow.. it is so powerful to hear! God truely had a plan for Stevens life - and God has plans of LIFE for everyone!

This is something that I do think is sooo important. I think that people are not well enough informed about being pregnant that there is LIFE right away. Almost everyone I meet always say that they are PRO LIFE! but many don't consider that a baby has life right away - studies show that they do!

January 22, 1998 marked the 25th anniversary of the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion in this country for all nine months of pregnancy- for any reason or for no reason at all. Since then over 35 million babies have been aborted.
Statistics show 1.5 million each year being aborted, 4,100 each day, and one every 21 seconds.

Abortion in our society today is so normal - and I have met people who have had abortions - I do not judge them. I love them as people. But studies shows that 98% of those who hear their babies heart beat decides to keep their baby.
And also that most girls are not informed well enough about their situation. And that later in life it might hit them with depression.

This is a cause that is a hush hush thing to talk about. I don't think it should be!
People of PRO LIFE and people of God raise up!

This photo makes me sick to my stomach, and I am warning you ahead that it is brutal to see if you do go to this link - didn't put it up on my blog so that you can decide if you are ready to see it yourself...

Living life and life abundantly!

Vancouver has been such a great place to be. At times I am bored... BUT more then ever before have I spent time resting and enjoying just being.
Being content is a hard thing to be... I think that in life you should never be content with where you are at, but content with who you are... be happy about who you've been created to be.. the child of the MOST HIGH! wow.. I love using that word.. MOST HIGH... God is my Father - no one is above Him.. and He is MY Father who loves ME! wow.. ME! and He loves everyone equally...
Seeing God in people is something that is fundamental.. But that I am learning so much about. Even the people who might curse at me in the street.. just cause they have a bad day... even the people drunk on the street.. those in business suits who don't even take a look at you passing by.. ALL of them bear the image of GOD-they are all created in Hia image.. wow... what a value! What a value we all have!

And I am called to bear His image and share His Love and to serve others...
But also called to do AMAZING THINGS! why?! cause God is AMAZING! God loves - He is LOVE! He loves to love..
He is calling me to greatness! In every area of my life - in my walk with Him - learning more and more of His word and who He is.. greatness in my marriage.. in my passion for youth, for the poor, greatness in dance and ministry. Greatness in creativity!
HE HAS PLANS FOR A GREAT FUTURE AND HOPE!
I am seeing how He is changing me and my focus.. and how I am created to dream and to go for my dreams... to be bold.. to dare to get hurt.. to dare to fail but gooo...! go for your dreams! go go go!

One of my first dreams as a young girl was to sing in the microphone in front of a crowd.. haha.. and I got to do that at 7-8 years old.. also got to sing a solo on my first record with the choir I was in... and that was my first dream come through.
Then I think I kind of lost my dreaming for a bit.. maybe the teen years were a bit confusing.. i was trying to figure out who I was.. just trying to fit in..
THEN! I experienced Jesus one on one at 13 and realized I was created to Shine Him to others.. to LOVE to DREAM... so I started dreaming for something again...

My dream then was to be able to Dance for Him. Got into a very special high school with art, music, drama and dance, and started learning dance. I saw GX International and soon after that started dreaming about travelling the world with people from all over the world.. with dancers, skaters, dj's, inliners, mc's etc..
My dream came through.. travelled with them for 3-4 years.

Then I met THE MOST AMAZING guy I'd ever met.. Sierra.. and right after meeting him.. i knew.. if I could have any guy in the world.. any guy.. I would want Sierra...He was everything I had ever dreamt for in a guy - He loved Jesus, he was passionate about people and was going for his dream a 110%
I started dreaming about a life with him.. we started dating only a couple of months after meeting.. and while we were dating I was a witness to Sierra's dream about being a professinal skateboarder come through.. and I saw so much favor over his life!
we got engaged almost 2 years into dating...

Then the next level of my dream was to create a new show for GX - take it to a higher level in message, dance and creativity.. Got to choreograph dances.. and create new things.. Got to be a program director for GX for 2 years, and got to see my vision of new cotumes, more breakers - new ramps - new skate video's with a strong message of God - Through that i learned so much, and it happened.. pretty much how I had dreamt it would..

My most recent dream was to actually have a wedding;) and me and Sierra just did and it was everything I had dreamt for and more...

Now I am seeing that God has layed dreams in my heart and Sierra's heart. And I am seeing how they are connecting together. It is sooo coool! really!

Just our passion for people and connections we have gotten the last while has been so awesome!
And I am realizing more and more how important dreaming and allowing myself to dream - going after it... how my life would not be what it is today if I had never dared to dream, and not limit my dreams..and ask God to give me His dreams!

I have some new dreams - yes! and they are super sweeeeeet! and I am promising you right now.. i'm gonna go after them a 100% :)

I am sharing this.. because I want everyone to know HOW IMPORTANT it is to DREAM!

DREAM BIG!
Go!!!
do something..
:)
DREAM! DREAM! DREAM!
