20 years ago I found God in the love and acceptance of a high school youth group. 18 years ago my father committed suicide while I was a freshman at college. 17 years ago I decided that my Heavenly Father's love was as unreliable as my earthly fathers. 16 years ago I aborted my first baby. 15 years ago I aborted my second baby. 14 years ago I met my husband and ever since have been clawing my way back to the Lord and that feeling of being worthy, loved, valued, accepted and understood like I had first felt 20 years ago. Almost two years ago my journey home began, and its brought me to this day. Today, on my 9th wedding anniversary, I leave the Healing Hearts experience a healed and free women for the first time in my life. Nothing about my life looks the same as when I began this journey. My life as a wife, mother, daughter and sister has been forever changed. Thankfully, I am now a women who once again knows God, who for the first time walks with Jesus, who forever has received the gift of His grace, and who for the last time will let anything separate me from the love of God again. Thank you Healing Hearts for following His call and ministering to the men and women like me, who have lived trapped by the guilt and shame of their past, and who can be set free by the Truth of who we are in Christ! Therefore there is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus... Thank you for helping me to know these words in a way I had not before. 2 Cor 5:17. . . I am new!
