A few minutes ago I was helping a friend answer questions for an application to a Christian summer camp, at the same time we were discussing our "plan for salvation" for the application question with Shawn McDonald playing in the background. It was at that moment that I realized I am in such an ideal situation. I am truly right where I need to be at this point in my life and I praise God for that! I am at a school that proclaims the Gospel, with friends that love the Lord and are on fire for Him, I have a church family, a small group of guys on the hall that encourage and teach me, I have taken classes on the Old and New Testament and am now taking one about Christian perspectives toward violence, I work for an organization that is centered around Christ, we begin our meetings with prayer! I really believe that I am in an ideal situation. While I have homework and papers to do, books to read, finances to be concerned with, and so much more that appears to be going "wrong" in my life, I am not nearly as unlucky as those who have no food, those who have no shelter, those who have no HOPE because they don't know the mighty power of Jesus Christ. Well, that was a bit of a rant, but it was necessary.

Well, today was the GWU Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. Being completely honest here, it was very VERY difficult for me. I actually cut my silence short by about five hours because it was so hard to remain silent. I also was a little concerned with why I was participating...for a little while I was actually concerned that I was not doing Silent Day for the right reasons, but I know now that I was. I'm not sure if I really impacted any lives directly, but I pray that I did. I actually prayed this morning that those women who had appointments today to have an abortion would be encountered by the Lord and would cancel those appointments. I truly hope that this prayer was fulfilled. I know that I want to do more and more for the pro-life movement and look forward to helping make others aware of the injustice that abortion is.
