Day 2 of the walk, Back to Life Movement, and all of us girls were still getting to know each other, and find a good routine. The first day we had stopped every mile or so and took a break, which was not the best plan since it ended up taking 6 hours to walk 12 miles. On the second day we had refined the plan and the water was in the security vehicle, along with snacks we could grab out of the back window. Julia Palermo or Heather Brown, or some lovely staff member would also ride in the security vehicle to help anyone in need. The other vehicles in our system included the front vehicle, driven by Nate Nelson, Leah, our physical trainer & co-walker, her husband. The back vehicle was driven by Dale, who runs the national helpline for abortion recovery. He heard about the walk needing a rear car 2 days before we started walking, made his own 'Pedestrians Ahead' sign, and drove from Arkansas to Houston. His wife is also really nice, and works with him on the helpline; we had the privilege of finally meeting her at the Esther Call after hearing so many wonderful things about her on the rides back to the hotels. I am so blessed by the support staff and the support families that were a seriously important part of our Back to Life team. We could not have made it without the wonderful support. My thanks and love goes out to all those who helped us along the way!

David Allen, Shofar guy
As you saw in the video above, we had a supporter with a shofar, blowing it along our walks. David Allen followed us blowing the horn for about the first week of our walk. He gave us all personalized autographed copies of his book, Horn of Samuel, Heaven's Trumpet Call of Liberty to Those Hurt by Abortion. His story is amazing how he sounded the shofar in the Houston Planned Parenthood before it was opened as America's largest abortion clinic. He had to stand trial for the charges and I still haven't finished the book, but I'll let you know later how it turns out. He is post-abortive himself, and knows the pain and need for restoration. Please check out his book if you get a chance.
Then you saw the clip in my video where the girls were pouring water on their shoes and feet, it's because they had stepped in a big ant pile and the ants were crawling all over them! Since Jehovah is our protector they got away without any harm, Praise God. Bees also came to visit us one day, but only one girl got stung. Dogs barked at us along the way, horses, donkeys, cows and birds lifted their voice too! There were many things we learned along our walk, that made us become a well-oiled team walking through all kinds of terrain and weather as I'll tell you about later on.
Leah (trainer), me, Laura (founder)
Looking back now it's so amazing that in only 21 days we accomplished so much with so little. God is the Lord of the Breakthrough and we know He has proved faithful to us. Today I saw some fruit of our prayers to bring America back to life in my home church in Las Vegas. Our head pastor has approved a young woman to train up a team of post-abortive counselors and offer the ministry by announcing it from the platform! No longer will the church have to suffer in silence, but many women can come out and have their voices heard, unto healing and restoration. It is such a good thing what God has done to make a way for us to come unto Him! Sinners, brokenhearted, poor, needy, rich, prideful...we all have fallen short of God's glory plan for our lives but He does not leave us as orphans. Father God still greatly desires we all be a part of His family and share in the inheritance of Jesus, so therefore the Blood of the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world! The good news is getting out there to a hurting generation, and I believe that when we plead the blood of Jesus, He will send revival. Revival must start in the church. Judgement comes to the church first, and we are to be God's witnesses to the ends of the earth, so we must set the standard of coming unto Christ in repentance. We must let the world know that healing comes by accepting forgiveness, the finished work on the Cross. Praise God for sending His Son Jesus so that none should perish, but whoever believes in Him should have everlasting life! LIFE!
