The story of Samuel reaching from the womb is a story about blessings. At 43 years old I came to what I call, “The end of myself.” God had blessed me when HE put a camera in my hand, but that wasn’t enough. I wanted/needed more. HE led me to the tiny church in the mountains of North Carolina and guided me through HIS path to salvation. Three months after I professed my faith to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I received the assignment to photograph Samuel’s surgery. I had always wanted someone in my life I loved so much I was willing to die for them. Someone that was willing to die for me. I found HIM! HE had patiently waited for me, and HE blessed me with Love, Forgiveness, Works, and such blessing there was not enough room to receive it. Bless you, Michael C.
I always knew I was doing something special when I started working for Pregnancy Care . It was not an ordinary job. God had called me to a special ministry that humbled me and made me realize I was apart of a movement; a crusade to save the unborn.
But when I heard your experiences and testimony, I felt proud that I was taking a stand for Christ. You proved beyond a doubt that the little babies in the womb are complete human beings as delivered new borns.
I know it must be tough. As I told you at the banquet in Cincinnati, you are like Jeremiah. He was persecuted for telling the truth. Even his relatives turned against him. But he was so determined, and spirit filled. He could not stop telling Judah what God told him to say. He even tried to stop preaching but he said it was like “fire shut up in my bones”. He could not keep quiet.
If you have not read Jeremiah lately it may do you well to read Jeremiah and Lamentations again. Modern day Jeremiahs need encouragement that at times only the Word of God can give.
I will be praying for you and will put you on our prayer list at Pregnancy Care. Please take care of yourself and may God continue to bless you.
