ACT 467

This post is long overdue…
.
“For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces. For I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.” –Jeremiah 1:7-8
Saul's Light, Representative Stephanie Hilferty, District 94 and a few mothers like me worked hard to get this bill passed. Personally, I emailed and had a many phone conversations with representatives and senators telling my story on why HB 146 (now ACT 467), a one-time $2000.00 tax credit to help relieve unforeseen cost of having a stillbirth, had to pass. Many hearts were moved as now they had a picture and a person they could relate the bill to. I even got a call from Senator John Kennedy’s office. They would encourage legislators to vote yes on the bill. Pretty amazing stuff and still gives me goosebumps still.
.
Then it passed! I got to celebrate for the Lord keeps redeeming the time the locust have eaten up. I was happy and relieved but a unexpected surprise came in the mail. The sweet Kimberly Novad, founder of Saul’s Light, mailed me a signed copy of ACT 467 and this wonderful shirt. This right here was just the cherry on top.

Thank you for your prayers and love. My encouragement to you is never give up. If God calls you out, He will equip you. “Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit you way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:3-5

Thank you Kimberly and Stephanie for your hard work and for the future Louisiana families who will benefit from ACT 467.
