40 Days for Life

I don't know if any of you have been able to keep up with the 40 days of fasting and prayer for the unborn in our nation, but it has been amazing. the kids and my mom and I went yesterday and we prayed in front of the abortion clinic here in Nashville. It is only 3 doors down from the Pregnancy Help Center! The place was deserted, thankfully. As we began praying life over that place of death, a butterfly came up from behind us and flew up and over the center as if to symbolize our prayers going up there and bringing new life. We had to keep pulling Jez and Tirza off the median where we could get arrested for standing. Evidently some sweet old nuns went right in and prayed a few days ago and the police had to come and get them for praying in the halls at the clinic! We prayed with an amazing gal that had come up from West Virginia just because she felt like God wanted her to come to Nashville. They are doing it in cities all over the nation and if you go to the website, you can see how many lives have already been saved just be the prayer. Last time I checked it was over 250! When we drove up yesterday, a woman was walking back and forth , up and down the street in front of the clinic, talking on her phone, and we prayed for her and after a while, it appeared she left as we didn't see her again. It was just awesome to actually be a part of christians uniting to really make a difference and not just put a bumper sticker on their car! They are in the home stretch of the 40 days-I think it ends November 2nd. Please pray and look up the 40 days for Life in your city.
