Binding Up The Brokenhearted has had a tremendous impact on my life. When I started this study, less than two months after my abortion, I was in a very deep, dark pit of regret, pain and sorrow. I did not feel I would ever be able to get out of it. But through the encouragement of God’s word, the prayer and compassion of my leader, and the gentle, loving touch of our heavenly father - I was able to come out of that pit and my hope has been restored. People who are close to me have commented on the tremendous growth/change they’ve noticed in me during the course of the study, and all I can do is give God the glory. My growth, joy and strength have all come from the Lord. When I didn’t think healing or hope was possible, the Lord restored and redeemed me. Although I still get sad about the loss I experienced through the abortion, I have the comfort and the love of the Holy Spirit to hold me during those times. This is a much better place to be than the dark, lonely and hopelessness feelings I experienced prior to drawing near to Him through this study. I have the desire to continue with my growing and healing journey, and to ultimately help other women who have been hurt by abortion in the future. I also hope for the opportunity to help prevent other women from going through with an abortion one day. This study was truly transformational for my heart and my life.
