The Dropbox Film

Last night I went to see the movie, The Dropbox Film.  I went with a lovely lady from church who has adopted children.  She knows mine and Sean's heart for adoption and I knew this would be good for us to go see together.

This movie, literally wrecked me.  My heart is so full with happiness and brokenness.  This man, Pastor Lee, has literally laid his life down to care for these children he has adopted and for the ones that come in daily through the baby box.  Yes, babies come almost daily to this man's home.

I did not realize how bad it is for women who are unwed to get pregnant, especially minors.  Most babies that get put in the baby box have mothers who are TEENAGE GIRLS and cannot take care of them alone.  Their families will not help raise the child; it's either abort the child or abandoning the child on the streets of Seoul.  Most babies have been abandoned on the streets and this pastor has provided an option to give them up so these babies can be adopted.  It is a great thing that this man is doing.  There is some controversy over this baby box, which I do understand why, however, I believe this is a great alternative to bring Life in this world.

Pastor Lee says every child that comes into the home has a purpose.  Most of the babies he has adopted have special needs and have to be cared for.  He prays over child and thanks God for saving their life.  Seriously, how amazing is this?!

We need to wake up.  Our society needs to be willing to be transparent and open their homes to these children who have been abandoned by their families.  Now is the time to take care of the orphans and the widows (James 1:27).  We can no longer wait for someone else to take care of it.  It's our time to get over ourselves.  It's time to give our time with a servant's heart.  

One of my favorite things about this movie is how the director of the file, Brian Ivie, found his identity in Christ.  It was an amazing gift of how God orchestrated this.  I have posted the link to his interview of how this film came together.  

Brian Ivie's Story


I have more things to say regarding this but I don't have the words yet to write down at this moment.  I can't wait for this film to be out in stores and share it everyone I know.

Stand4Life

"Jesus, we plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation.  God, end abortion and send revival to America."

Saturday was the national day for Stand4Life.  It was a national day to stand and pray against abortion.  I had known about it for a few weeks and then on Wednesday of last week, I got a call asking if I would participate as well as be a captain at one of the local abortion clinics.  Of course I said yes.  I was so excited and honored  to be a part of this day!  I have never been a captain and honestly, after thinking about it for a while, I got nervous.

The first & last prayer siege I have been a part of was in 2010 when me and a few friends drove to Atlanta, then to Houston for the emergency prayer siege.  We rode with the Atlanta Bound4life group to Texas.  It was called Midnight Ride for Justice.  If you are not familiar with what happened in 2010, here is the basic info:  Planned Parenthood was opening their largest abortion, not only in the nation but in the Western Hemisphere.  The building was/is 6 stories high and I believe that building was originally intended to be a bank.  It is strategically placed in a lower income area that had 2 Hispanic communities and 1 African American community.  Most people do not think it is strategically placed but I do.  (If you don't, then that is okay... no need to start a debate on this).  Anyways, we got there on a Friday afternoon, had an emergency Call meeting/prayer rumble.  We prayed and cried out for 6 hours.  The following day, we had the silent siege.  Bound4Life only asked for 400 people to stand at the building, and then a few hundred to do the prayer march throughout the community.  We ended up having over 1200 people there altogether and people were standing for life across the parking lot, street, to the other side of the interstate.  It made national news and it was truly an experience I will never forget. 

Back to Saturday, Sean and I went to the Planned Parenthood.  It was our first time doing this together and it ended up just being the two of us.  It started off raining so we just sat in our car the whole time.  But when we drove up to the plaza where the clinic is, we saw a couple and their friend walking into the clinic like it was nothing to them.  At that moment, we were unaware that they provide other services (remember this was our first time).  After seeing them walk in with that attitude, it struck something in both of us.  We are still unsure if they perform procedures on Saturday's at this clinic but it doesn't matter because the thought of abortion is being placed in these peoples' minds.  It was a surreal moment for both of us and I was so glad that we got to experience this together.  We know that one day we will adopt and being there just confirms it.  It also confirms that we have to fight for those who do not have a voice.  I don't see why babies are any different than animals, environment, etc.  We fight for those who cannot verbally fight for themselves. 

I thank God for this time with my husband as we start to get more involved in the Bound4Life, Fort Myers Chapter.
