A woman's story · Binding Up the Brokenhearted

I told myself I wasn't thinking about it

I had an abortion when I was 20 years old. I already had one child and was going through a difficult time and I felt like I couldn't deal with another child. I didn't acknowledge my abortion for the next five years. I told myself I wasn't thinking about it but the truth is I thought about it a lot. Then when I got married to the father of my aborted baby we finally started talking about it one day and we agreed that it was the biggest mistake either of us had made in our entire lives. That day began an overwhelming time of shame, guilt and grieving. I started going to Celebrate Recovery at my church and a women there told me about Binding Up The Brokenhearted. I went right home and signed up for the study. This will probably be the most important study I ever do. It has changed my whole life forever. I will never be the same again. And I am so happy. I feel free from my sin of abortion and I know my baby is in heaven with God. This study also helped me to deal with other sins in my past - both those I committed and those committed against me. I am so grateful that this study was available to me. Thank you.
