Healing Hearts has been such a blessing to me. I knew that the time had come to really deal with my abortion, which took place 25 years ago. I started to look at post-abortion retreats and just wasn't able to find anything that worked in my schedule and nothing seemed to be the right fit. Then, I got a newsletter from the North Dakota Family Alliance, which had a feature story about Healing Hearts and shared the story of a local Healing Hearts leader. I had never heard of this ministry before! I chose to take part in the online study, complete with my very own supportive counselor (Robin) and was on my way. I don't know what I really expected this to be - but it far exceeded my expectations. There is no 'fluff' in this study...it is hard heart work. I have spent time in front of my computer in tears or have wanted to just skip some of the questions and not really consider what was being asked. This study made me look at my abortion from all angles and its impact on all areas of my life. It reminded me of who God really is and how much He loves me and that He desires me to be whole and healed. I have a sense of freedom in me that I have not felt in 25 years - since my abortion. Praise God for this study! I have already told several other women about it and pray that they will take part in it.
