Every life matters

By Rachael Jackson - posted Tuesday, 13 May 2014


But I turned to my faith,andI sought my value in what the Scriptures said.

That I was planned by God.

He had a plan and purpose for me.

I chose to believe my life mattered!

You may question "That poor mother, look what she went through. Was I worth the pain?"

Look me in the eyesand tell me my life doesn't matter.

My life is worth more than an instance of rape.

I am not the image of rape, but of life, hope and a future.

I was born to survive!

I am so thankful to my birth mother, that she chose to keep me.I cannot imagine what pain she endured to survive with me.

I am truly thankful now as I have 3 children of my own,that my motherchose to give me life- against all the odds. Abortion was not an option.

Every life mattersno matter where or how it was created. In the midst of the storm anything is possible if we choose life!
