This study has really freed me and has given me tools to continue to look at myself and my relationship with Christ. I had started to grow cold in some ways. I kept reliving the past hurts, most having nothing to do with my abortion. I still was hurting from the abortion after all these years. As my church and I got more involved in the pro life movement, I was hearing other’s stories of their abortion experiences and what goes on at abortion clinics. This was bringing up serious pain and remorse. I knew that I was already forgiven, but weekly reminders were making it hard for me to get passed what I did. I felt that wounds were constantly being opened and I was feeling a deep shame. Doing this study has helped me tremendously. I have loved having a counselor to encourage me and someone that I can be honest with without judgement. This study has brought me back more to my first love, Jesus, reminding me of all the beautiful scriptures that captured my heart at the beginning of my walk with Christ. Going through the torture and crucifixion, wow. I had to repent for taking a lot of this for granted lately. This study had helped restore my walk and love for Him in a different and new way. I am embarrassed to admit it, but I didn’t realize that I was backsliding in ways. This study has helped me be more disciplined and accountable. I believe I am the kind of person who needs that. I want to be used by Him but will have nothing to give to others if I am not constantly in the word, working on my own walk. I need to look at my life and things I have done to hurt God and others and less looking at what others have done to me. I am hoping to be used in service to others for God’s glory. I have loved this study and I would highly recommend it to others. I pray that this study will bless other women who are suffering, who need to know or be reminded of Jesus’ saving grace and love and who need to be rid of everything that holds them back from being used by HIM. It’s only through Jesus and His word that we can have healing and restoration. I am so grateful for this life changing study.
