Inspirational Video
Via a recently discovered blogger, Political Junkie Mom, comes a riveting speech by Gianna Jessen. You may be already familiar with her life story: she survived a late-term abortion and lives with cerebral palsy as a result.
I had already heard her story, but I hadn’t heard the gal herself.
It’s like the difference between listening to someone describe a gorgeous landscape and experiencing it for yourself.
“I didn’t survive so I could make everyone comfortable. I survived so I could stir things up a bit. And I have a great time doing it. . . . I should be blind; I should be burned; I should be dead, and yet I am not.”
The first part is about nine minutes long; the second is about six minutes. Yes, that is a bit on the long side, but I bet you’ll find her speech entirely worth those minutes.
The part that spoke to me loudest: when she says, we need to stand up and be willing to be hated.
Because hated, we are.
I’m adding Political Junkie Mom to me lil blog list, by the way. I like the cut of her jib.
Thank you. I have watched the videos so many times, but the message never pales. Gianna is a captivating speaker and testament to strength and grace. Glad you stopped by today. I look forward to following you as well!
I’m speechless.
I’ve only watched a bit of the first one, what a beautiful, strong and graceful woman. I’m cross-posting this one, thanks for posting it.
WOW. God bless this woman– obviously this is what God had in mind for her to do, why she survived.
