A Sacrifice For Life

So my family is participating in the 40 Days for Life campaign. What this means is that we're praying and fasting to end abortion. My mom decided that we all had to write down one thing that we are going to fast from. Whenever we want to do or have that thing, we are supposed to pray that abortion will end in America. I chose my blankie strips. Now, you probably have no idea what those are.

Ever since I was born, I slept with a blanket. That's right, I'm admitting that I still sleep with my special blanket as a fourteen almost fifteen year old. But that's not all. I also cut up pieces of the blanket so that I could carry them around with me. That was when I was around eight, I think. I have some anxiety problems, and the strips were like my security blanket(literally). So, my sacrifice is that I'm giving up my strips for 40 days, hopefully forever. Its been really tough, and this is only the second day. I keep digging in my pockets trying to find one. And last night I had a terrible time trying to sleep. But I will give them up and everytime I think of them (which is often), I send up a prayer about ending abortion.
