It`s Complicated

 đŸ˜•đŸ˜•The truth behind “It`s complicated “ 😕😕


How many times have we heard the phrase, "It’s complicated"?Usually, it just means: I want to do one thing, but I know I should do another. We see this when we choose to sleep in instead of getting up, or eat a cookie we know we shouldn't. Unfortunately, choosing the easier path usually leads to guilt and regret.When I talk to couples outside of abortion clinics, they are in a crisis. Naturally, they want the easier decision to make the immediate pressure go away. But abortion is a decision you cannot undo.The reality many don't realize is that abortion causes physical, emotional, and sometimes financial trauma. The serious side effects—like depression, substance abuse, and future fertility issues—are rarely talked about. If these risks were openly known, people would take a much closer look at what they are about to do.

Just today, a young father told me his situation was "complicated" because his parents are Christians. I found it ironic that he thought their faith would make things harder. I challenged him to step up, have that hard conversation with his father, and give his parents the chance to show what being a Christian truly means.I may never know the end of their story. But I hope he chooses the right path over the easy one. I hope he chooses life for his child, stands faithful, and shows his partner what true strength looks like.

 đŸĻģđŸĻģ Presentation đŸĻģđŸĻģ I have always said that you never know who is listening to what you say. I said that while I was coaching sports. Sometimes it was the most difficult athlete that came back and said “thank you, I needed someone to push me the way you did”. Sometimes it was a girl who came around to say “I watched the way you tried so hard to get the team to hear what you were saying and I can tell you really mean what you say so I am going to get the rest of the team on board”.  This time it was a young mom who said “ I am planning to keep my baby because you came to my school when I was in high school and I listened to your presentation about what it means to be pro life”. This time what I said and what the person with me said saved a life. It possibly saved several from a lifetime of sorrow, regret and guilt. If you know me, you know that I say what I think. It doesn't always come out sounding like a lullaby but if you listen closely when I am talking about something ...

 đŸ‘ŋ C onflict 😇 We had a terrible day. It was one of terrible sadness and a feeling of helplessness. The situation happened with a couple with a young baby and a baby on the way. The mom didnt think she could handle another baby. The father said he was willing to do whatever was needed to support the family. He`d told her exactly this. Unfortunately the mother to be was already inside the Planned Parenthood facility.  Two of us were talking to the father. While he comforted his baby.He was taking care of his baby and going back and forth into Planned Parenthood to try to get his partner to come out. He went in three times. Our security guard coached him on what to say. He came out each time without her. He continued to talk to her on the phone and this gave me an opportunity to talk to her.  Nothing worked. Twice she told me she'd meet me on the sidewalk. She did not.  At a certain point she told us that she didn't think the staff would let her leave. I responded to...

 đŸ† High Stakes   đŸ†   It`s a difficult thing to stay motivated in a mission with such high devastating loss stakes. Some of me thinks that I should be able to go out on the sidewalk and talk to anyone and everyone entering planned parenthood for an abortion and show them the support they need to choose life and then they will. Obviously it doesnt work that way. In fact it doesnt happen often. There are reasons big enough to write a separate blog for each. The reasons aren't what I'm addressing today. I'm writing to celebrate a long time ago. Four years ago my former coworker and I met a young couple experiencing a crisis pregnancy. We were new at our mission/jobs. We were learning. We were really learning how strong the natural instinct is for women to carry their babies to term and also how influential their partner can be. This was the case for this couple. Mom wanted to keep the baby. She wanted to do so to the point where she told us just to let the dad stay in ...
