Do you ever have one of those mornings? You know- the ones that make you want to scream and then go back to sleep so you can restart the day? This past Monday was one of those mornings for me. I traveled out of town during the weekend to visit a friend. We had lots of fun, but when I got back into town on Sunday afternoon, I was exhausted! And this exhaustion carried over into Monday morning. Plus, I think I was ready… Read more »
“So what are you doing the rest of this weekend?” My friend Bonnie asked us at her birthday party on Saturday. A few of her guests offered up answers as I sat there wondering if I should say “I’m going to Planned Parenthood to pray tomorrow.” I stayed silent. On Sunday, my church had a luncheon I attended. I sat with two members of my Sunday School class and at one point, one of them asked, “So what do y’all… Read more »
Confession: I book-hop. Meaning, I tend to jump from one book to the next without finishing the first one… only to come back to the first and finish it before I finish the five other books I’ve started. When it comes to the pro-life books on this list, I’m no different. And so to continue my confession, I must admit that I’ve only finished one of the books on this list. I’ve only read through half of the others. But… Read more »
When I was in high school, there was a pro-life club at my school. I was a part of it my freshmen and sophomore years. However, I didn’t do much besides show up for the monthly meetings. Once I think I showed up for a “Life Chain” event one Sunday in October. But that’s about it. After seeing Unplanned, I decided I had to do something more than just saying “I’m pro-life.” I had to join the pro-life movement. But… Read more »
Today I’m not going to school. Yesterday I stayed late after school making sure sub-plans were just right and everything was good to go for today. Sometimes I hate taking off from work. Scratch that- I usually hate taking off from work. The bright side of making long and detailed sub-plans is that while I’m not in school I’m usually doing something fun. Like how in May I took off to go to my best friend’s college graduation. That was… Read more »
The movie Unplanned changed everything for me. Watching that movie, I knew deep down that I couldn’t just watch the abortion issue from the sidelines. I had to get up from the comfy Cinemark movie seat and do something. I didn’t know where to begin, but there was a phone number that flashed across the screen at the end of the movie along with a message that was something like, “If you or someone you know has had an abortion,… Read more »
A few weeks ago, I published a podcast about my journey into being pro-life. Today, I was reflecting on my journey and realizing that my pro-life journey has returned to the beginning in a sense. Tomorrow starts the fall 40 Days For Life campaign. 40 Days For Life is a span of forty days where people pray outside of abortion facilities. You can learn more about it by clicking here. Tonight my boyfriend and I attended a 40 Days kick-off… Read more »
Hey friend! Welcome to Coffee With Kara! Today we’re chatting about something different than usual- I’m going to be sharing I started getting involved with the pro-life movement. I start off by sharing how my pro-life journey began when I saw the movie Unplanned (more details about that experience here) and how I started tip-toeing my way into the movement. And I’m going to share with you what I’ve been doing this summer to be pro-life. In addition to telling… Read more »
Have you ever wondered why bad things happen to good people? I sure have! Today I wanted to share a bit of my testimony with you. A few weeks ago, I did something I’ve felt scared of doing for years: I attended an auction fundraiser for a foundation that my aunt and uncle started. Okay, so I know that doesn’t sound like a scary thing, but let me explain. Seven years ago, my cousin Cody died from a sudden cardiac… Read more »
I lived with a total of four different girls throughout my college career and was blessed to have an awesome living situation every time. However, I know that not everyone is as lucky as me and have to face tough roommate situations. My final college roommate, Bonnie, has had some, well, hard-living situations and so I asked if she’d be willing to write about her hard roommates and share any advice she has learned with you. So this post is… Read more »
