I'm so excited about my new Bible study group! I'm at my friend Michelle's house right now after the bible study. Although it was just the first night, I know that this is going to be something awesome! It was refreshing to see other girls my age studying God's word together and talking about their opinions freely. We were able to sit there after words and just chill out also. The only person I knew there was Michelle, but that didn't matter, after, we all talked about music and movies and then turn to politics and other scriptures.
One of the things that we discussed and researched tonight was about Obama's new act that is in the process of passing. This act is going to wipe out over 400 other laws and acts controlling abortion. There is not going to be an age limbit that requires parental concent, and if a child is born premature the parent has the option to let it die (most likely by suffocation). I am against abortion, but there are also people that are PROabortion that have written the whitehouse and congress saying that this act is TOO RADICAL.
Now, I know that I'm not a parent or old enough to vote yet, but I can feel in my spirit that this is just the start of something more to come. It may not be in the government, or not have anything to do with Obama, I don't know...but what I do have to say is that I think that there is something wrong with a 12 year old going into an abortion clinic without parental concent. I think that a 12 year old having to be put in that situation is INSANE anyways. It just makes me sick to my stomach to think that this is what the world is...
I know that people have been saying this for a while now, but after walking around a mall and seeing groups of kids my age all hanging out at the mall with strollers filled with babies, i believe it--the flesh is beginning to take us all over. I think that now more than ever us Christians need to really ban together to pray for not only ourselves and our families, but for our world. Not only do we need to pray, but i think that we really need to be the light in the the world's darness. For all we know, we are the one thing standing between a person and their biggest mistake. Also, I think that, teens espically, really need to talk to God and spend time in his word and learn about the athority he has given each one of us. This is something that I just discovered on the retreat, and once you know about that athority you can fight anything out there (with God's help of course!)
I know that that was kinda intense for one of my blogs, but hey...it's my current thought... :)
