First Fruits Friday - Commemoration of Roe, Now What?
Nearly every Saturday in Columbus, GA an abortionist drives to town to take the innocent lives of babies by creating a hostile environment within their mothers’ womb. We call these “abortion days.” In my 6 years as the Executive Director, I personally have witnessed over 6,000 abortions in process next door to Seneca. Abortion days are filled with sadness and heartbreak, but we are people of faith in Jesus Christ. In that faith we know that if we (as in the body of Christ) show up as His hands and feet, we will witness miracles! These tragic abortion days are also filled with hopeful anticipation of the miracles we know He will provide in our midst if we are faithful and patient.

First Fruits Friday - Domestic Violence
Both were offered maternity homes early on and each declined. Now, one says she wishes she would have accepted this lifeline and had left the abuser then. Tragically, it is not unusual for women, like our clients, to feel tied to their abusers due to a suffocating control of all aspects of their living arrangements. All too often this results in a highly toxic codependent relationship. On average, it takes a person seven attempts to leave before they are successful at moving away from this type of evil.

She received an eviction notice and was in real peril as she realized there was a chance she could lose custody of her three-year-old daughter. She also confirmed to us that the father of the baby was using drugs. Valiantly, Jane carried on at her job, continued with the pregnancy, and unceasingly strove to protect her daughter.

First Fruits Friday - Listening
During the Christmas season, we often hear carols and songs on the radio. One favorite is Do You Hear What I Hear? Jesus often hears the prayers of the broken hearted and those in need of healing. We are reminded in other songs that HE is our mighty counselor, Prince of Peace, a wonderful, divine, and everlasting father.
