For You From The Word
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
(Psalm 40:5)
For You To Think About
Pam Stenzel
In 1964, a fifteen-year-old girl was raped, became pregnant, and decided to carry her unborn child to term. Five months after the baby girl was born, the young mother provided her child a better environment by placing her in the arms of an adoptive family. That child was Pam Stenzel. She is the oldest of 8 children – 7 adopted and 1 biological.
After graduating from Liberty University with a degree in psychology, Pam worked at crisis pregnancy centers and counseled women (particularly young girls) who were considering the adoption option. After numerous requests from clients and families, she developed an abstinence curriculum and corresponding video titled Sex Has A Price Tag. Today, Pam Stenzel travels the world as a foremost abstinence educator, speaking to 500,000 students each year.
God has used Pam Stenzel to impact hundreds of thousands of young people with a message of purity and redemption. One mom – her birth mom – could not know, during her pregnancy, how her courageous and loving decision would have such powerful consequences. But God did.
For You To Pray
Powerful Lord,
Thank you for the example set by one mom – Pam Stenzel’s birth mom. Move in the hearts of pregnant women to have the courage to choose life and adoption when appropriate.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
