Today is National Sanctity of Human Life Day. Please join us in recognizing the sanctity of human life begins with valuing life in the womb!

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

Psalm 139:13-16

I had the privilege of attending mass and an awards luncheon today on the gorgeous grounds of the Catholic Pastoral Center in OKC. The Eden Clinic was awarded a grant for our parenting and Just for Dads program, as well as for medical supplies. Thank you so much to The Catholic Foundation and Respect Life Grant!

I wanted to share a “nugget” that was directed toward the college scholarship recipients, but I think is wisdom and encouragement for all: Do not settle for life happening TO you, instead, with God’s grace, LIVE your life. Be intentional in developing friendships with people who love you authentically, invite the Lord into conversations about who you are and what your purpose is, be intentional in creating rhythms of life that honor who you were created to be and what you were created to do. It’s a joyous day when you discover the passions and interests of your heart were part of the will of God for your life from before you were even born. 🔥🔥🔥

A message from Joel Burcham, Eden Clinic Board Chair:

The Eden Board of Directors is thrilled to announce Michelle Bowden as the Interim Executive Director of the Eden Clinic. Michelle is a passionate and dedicated supporter of Eden. She initially joined the clinic as a volunteer, driven by her life-affirming beliefs and values. We are immensely grateful to Michelle and to God for this new chapter in Eden's leadership history.

Michelle lives with her husband, Bryan, and their two daughters in Norman, Oklahoma. She is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, holding a bachelor’s degree in Film and Video Studies and master’s degree in Educational Psychology. Additionally, she is an ordained minister and has found great joy in serving the Lord through various roles and functions. Michelle has a genuine desire to embody the truth and love of God in every interaction. She loves to encourage people in their God-given identity, their indisputable worth, and the value of their unique, God-given purposes and assignments.

Michelle is thrilled to have the opportunity to serve as the Interim Executive Director and is eager to advance the mission of The Eden Clinic. She would love to speak with you about the impact Eden is making in the lives of the women and families we work with.

Let's welcome Michelle!

Meet Juliett! She’s one of 3 Admin Volunteers for Eden. Each are essential in helping our office function well.

Juliett helps with scanning, filing, and phone calls. Today she’s tackling the room where baby bottles are processed to go to churches participating in the Baby Bottle Project. This is also our admin volunteer desk area.

Today is LEAP day, so I want to share some thoughts.

LEAP is my 2024 Word.

LAUGH -- God has created so many things for us to enjoy!
Emerge -- Try something new each month that challenges you!
Anchor -- Anchor your faith in HIM
Pray -- Pray!, especially when you think you don't have time.
