When I saw Healing Hearts come up on our announcements at church, I got this sad ache in my heart about my abortion. I hadn’t thought about it for a long time. I had it when I was 23 years old. Now I’m almost 65 years old. It took me a little while before deciding to do the study. I believe God tugged on my heart to do the study. I found out who would be my counselor. I am very comfortable with her. Before doing the study, I really felt like I wouldn’t be forgiven for my sin of my abortion. When I got the abortion, I knew what happens to the baby. I even had visuals, which was an awful feeling and thought. Throughout the study, doing each unit, I started feeling some freedom. Reading how much God loves me and when I repented that sin, He forgave me. During the process of the study, I found myself grieving about the abortion. Knowing that it was a little baby. Because of my selfishness and fear, I did what I did. I am so grateful that the Lord has forgiven me and I do feel the forgiveness. I will continue being in the word and know that God has blessed me with grace and mercy. I am so thankful for seeing the announcement of Healing Hearts at church. I thank God for Jesus Christ who is my Lord and Savior.
