The following is from our Dear, Dear, Sister in Christ Mindi Schneider. I first met Mindi years ago when she worked for me at WFRN Christian Radio in South Bend/Elkhart, Indiana. Thank you for sharing your heart with us Mindi! God Bless you and yours! My life is better for God putting Mindi in my life. It is people like Mindi who give me hope for the future of America.
The decision made in New York last week made my heart ache. My initial reaction was shock, and then I cried out loud to my Almighty Father in Heaven, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Then to see them smile and celebrate death in such a way nauseated me for days. Those who know me well, know I am adopted. I have always been and will always be Pro-Life. What you may not know is that I am a product of sexual abuse/rape. My birth mom, a God fearing and God loving mother carried me to term in 1970 after Roe vs. Wade made abortions legal. She chose to give me life, she chose to give me away to another mother whose heart ached for another child. When the mother who raised me completed her psych rounds to become a nurse she talked with women who had given a child up for adoption or had an abortion. Both suffered mentally. My birth mom suffered mentally her whole life because of giving me away. I cannot imagine giving up my children at any point or choosing out of convenience to abort them. My life would be so empty. God created each one of us – unique in all of time — no one like us that will ever be created again. I recommend watching, “October Baby”. It has adult content that is difficult to watch. I continue to pray for our leaders of our country. I would have never imagined in my lifetime to see what is going on now in our world. Yes, I am Pro-Life for everyone from the moment of conception. God makes no mistakes. God uses all events and people for His good according to His plan. God our Father in Heaven is the ultimate judge. I pray our leaders realize what they have done and find Forgiveness in Christ before they stand before HIM someday. We all will. I am a sinner, not perfect, by any means. I am saved by Faith in Christ alone. In HIM my hope is found. I stand with Jesus Christ. This is my story. This is my voice.
