A Story of Hope

I came to this study through the advice of a friend. God had appointed a day for me to deal with an abortion I had over 20 years ago. I wasn't sure what to do with the fact that I was admitting this - nor did I even begin to realize what God wanted to show me from His Word. I accepted the Lord as my Savior as a young girl. I had strayed far from Him, making decisions that I knew were wrong. God drew me back to Him through the death of my mother. I realized then that I had made a very bad decision to have an abortion, but I knew I could not change my choice. For some reason a day came after a sermon preached by my Pastor and a question by a friend was asked of me. I could not say everything was fine - someone I barely knew I confided in. I have no doubt that God's Spirit was upon me that day and He wanted me to understand how great and wide and deep His love for me truly was and that is what this Healing Hearts study has done for me. God has used your ministry and now my daughter is also doing one of these studies. God has taken a broken family and is mending and healing it. Sometimes it is painful and more valleys need to be gone through. I want to be a mighty oak with strong roots deep in the ground - rooted in Jesus.
