This is my new favorite movie. I love it when I happen upon another romantic chick-flick. This video contains some of the amazing music and the last clip (my favorite part) of the movie, North and South.

I Have The Victory
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11
This scripture has brought me so much peace. I have a severe stronghold that tries to attach it's grip on me every day and this scripture has played a part in delivering me. The temptation that is always trying to fasten it's grip on me is fear. The dreaded four letter word has terrorized me for years. I have not gotten the victory to conquer it yet. However, I know I have been given the grace; therefore, all I have to do is take it. Today, I choose to take the gift of grace and walk by faith. I don't want to live in a bondage of fear any longer. Satan will not fasten his grip on me. Jesus has made me victorious!

He Is Faithful
I have never seen God's hand upon my life more than when I began classes at John A. Logan College. Every time I walk away from a quiz, test, or project I find myself praising God for helping me do so well. There have been tough times throughout the semester, but it always turns out incredibly. Today I did very well on a sight-singing test in Aural Skills. I was thrilled to have done so amazing. I know Jesus was right there, helping me all the way through the example. Yesterday I took a test in Anatomy and Physiology, and I don't know if it went well or not. However, even through this experience, I am at peace. I know everything will workout because I am in the covenant of Jesus Christ. I know His words are true, that He is my shield; He is my protector. I also feel that God is going to lead me through a time of great favor. I have already found amazing favor with my first music teacher, and I am not even in college yet. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me when I graduate.

My Response To The Topic Of Abortion
The following question was posted on a forum by a fellow student in my health class :
Abortion is constantly a subject for debate, due to the various opinions on this subject which vary from 'no abortions at all ever' to 'complete freedom of choice for a woman.' In your opinion, which methods of abortion are acceptable, if any? Explain your reasoning and support your claim.
I answered with the following:
I don't think any methods of abortion are acceptable. I believe that the moment sperm meets with the egg and implants in the woman's body that so called embryo or fetus, is a baby. No one believes killing a baby is okay.The reason I think the fetus is a baby is because there are really only four differences between a fetus and a newborn. The first difference is size. Do you think Michael Jordan is more of a person than a little baby. If you don't, then how is a newborn more of a person than a fetus because of it's size. The second difference between a fetus and a newborn is level of development. A four year old girl is not as developed as a fourteen year old girl. Does that make the fourteen year old more of a person than the four year old? In the same way, just because the fetus is not as developed as the newborn, that does not make the newborn more of a person. The third difference between a newborn and a fetus is environment. If you flew from Alaska to Hawaii do you change being yourself? No, of course not. Therefore, a fetus does not suddenly change from being itself by coming out of the womb. The fourth difference between a fetus and a newborn is Dependency. Just because the fetus is dependent upon it's mother doesn't mean it is less of a person than a newborn. Is someone who is living on kidney dialisis less off a person than someone who is not?
I found this technique through Summit Ministries: Understanding the times. It was very difficult to explain through writing. I do not know if my point came across well; however, I know this particular pro-life tactic is effective at least when talking to someone.
