We just watched "The Miracle" last night. It's the story about when three whales were trapped in Alaska in 1988. Well the whole world spent millions of dollars trying to save these whales. People literally risked their lives to save them... I can't believe how backwards our world is.Why can't we do that to save human lives? I loved the last line in the movie which was narrated by a local Eskimo boy and he said" We all still laugh how the outsiders made such a fuss".
When we make a "fuss" about how unborn children are being aborted everyday, we are accused of discriminating against women's rights. We have more human slavery in the 21st century then we ever have in history. Someone needs to make a fuss over these HUMAN lives.
I love animals, and of course you should show kindness to animals, and I'm all about animal rights. But why is the world spending more money, and caring more for the animal rights, then human lives? Our society is more concerned about saving extinct species then saving human beings.Especially the ones that don't have a voice. I for one almost lost my life in my mother's womb. Thank GOD for her rebellious nature at the time, and for carrying me full term. I have a voice, and I'm going to use it. The line from Horton Hears a Who "A person's a person no matter how small".
I believe with every fiber and cell that is inside of me that NO ONE was a mistake. Your parents may have not planned you, but God did. We all have been created for a purpose. Sometimes it takes a lifetime to finally find your calling or purpose. You have to overcome many obstacles, and trials,and hardship to find why you were put on this earth. But it's BECAUSE of my own hardships, and obstacles that I have endured that I FOUND my purpose. I have a voice to speak up in this world. I will do what I can to get it heard!

These are the organizations that Derek and I support that are making a difference in some body's life. They are speaking up for the voiceless, the poor, the hurting.
When I was in Grade nine, I remember walking down the hall and watching a severely disabled girl that was the same age as me, lifting up her shirt and running down the hall. At this time she was very well developed.My peers were laughing and cheering her on. I just stared in disbelief, paralyzed by my own insecurities, and not knowing what to do,I hesitated. Then finally someone else spoke up and helped her. I am so ashamed that I didn't do something, I just STOOD, and STARED. I am no longer hesitating, or standing on the sidelines. I am a full on activist against injustice, especially for those that nobody wants to hear.
