It hit me in the gut.
If you know Chris or I - you most likely know our story.
We have been asked to share our story with our church. I am beyond terrified of being in front of so many people (hands falling asleep, legs feeling like jelly, vision going black- that's when I think about it) But...I've always felt that if our testimony can change the life of ONE person - then it will be worth it.

Well, I don't know you're story, Carlee but that video is very compelling. Bless you for having the courage to tell your story whatever it is. I believe that God will give you the strength and clarity to do what you need to do and that lives will be touched because of it.
I would encourage you to tell your story. This is a powerful message and it needs to be told. We stand behind you two and will lift you up in prayer. God will get you through any fears you may have. "Sometimes He calms the storm, Sometimes He calms His child." Look in the eyes of your three kids. You can do anything!
Oh Carlee. What a compelling video. I seriously cannot believe how a person can support infanticide and partial birth abortion. How beautiful that those babies are in the arms of Jesus now. Tell your story Carlee. You can do it. The grace, redemption and love that surround you and Chris will impact many people. It's always been an encouragement to me. I think you are a very strong woman. Thanks for posting.
Thank you three - seriously! Reading your three comments has turned me into a puddle. But I think mostly because I just remembered and realized that our support system is so much bigger. Your comments are a huge blessing. Your prayer is working - I can think about it without blacking out now :) And I know how important it is for me to do this.
Love you all :)
Oh Carlee this video breaks my heart into a million pieces. I'm proud of your choices, I'm proud of you to share, I'm proud of who you are, I'm SO proud of YOU! Love you! xo
That video just makes me sick to my stomach. Going through the hardships that I went through to have a baby and then hearing about something like this just makes me so angry. I don't know how anyone could do that. I don't know what your story is, but I would like to know. Maybe I just need to be reminded. Have you told your story at church yet? I know that when you do it will change lives. My hardships have helped me to comfort other ladies and helps them to not feel alone. I hope all goes well.
Just wanted to give an update - I am at peace...God peace. I can think of being in front of thousands and not feel my insides flip-out. We are doing it this Sunday - I'm sure I'll regret this, but you'll be able to watch the service at www.occ.org on the pod cast. There will be two other testimonies shared that day too - they will be very powerful! I strongly encourage everyone to watch the full service (not just ours:)
Little side note: Chris went to Fl. today and wont be back until early Sunday morning - pray his travels back run on time...I dont really want to do this by myself ;)
