Dear friends we would so much appreciate prayers for wisdom and clarity. We have made a major decision to change from Paypal to our own Shopping Cart on our website. We have taught ourselves through books and research everything we know that started our online business from the ground up, we built our website from scratch without (until recently)the help of any kind of program. Boy has it been a lot of knowledge to process on top of living life and homeschooling. We are finding some of the setting up of our website's Shopping Cart/Payment Gateway confusing. Please pray for us that things will become much clearer and easier to understand, and that things will flow well with this change over.
We are switching from Paypal because we recently found out that eBay, Paypal's parent company, gives a lot of money to Planned Parenthood. So we are trying to avoid eBay and Paypal as much as possible, and especially we don't want to be giving them such a high volume of our business by using them on our website. As my husband put it he just can't in good conscience keep helping pay to kill babies. This has been a major decision for us, involving a LOT of work, right in the middle of our business' busy season, but we pray, and hope you will pray with us, that God will give us grace and reward us for this decision.
Thank you dear friends! As always you are in our daily prayers! 
ETA: No intent to condemn anyone here who uses Paypal, only to share a bit of history for my prayer request!

Thank you all sooooo much for your prayers. The new Shopping Cart is *finally* up and running!  Having a rotten flu-bug going through us all in the midst of things did not help, but that's going around, and the nice thing is Baby Girl did not get it.  The Shopping Cart is now working great, and we ar e actually glad we switched as there are a lot of neat features that make things easier on our end.  Thanks again one and all for your prayers, we are so blessed by your friendship and support!

Praying for you, Pilgrim. I have been wanting to do the same thing, but I'm overwhelmed with the amount of work it takes. God bless you!

I've been praying for a smooth transition and that the Holy Spirit will help you all, Pilgrim! I had no idea eBay gave to PP.

We didn't know either. The article on it was from a reliable source in the Pro-Life Movement, I think, I just can't remember who right now.
