Baby Booties Story #106

I was 17 and I thought he loved me.  After the first abortion… I became depressed, angry, violent.  After the second abortion… I was completely numb. By the third and fourth abortions… I had spiraled out of control.  Sex, drinking, drug use, depression.  I was completely broken.  For years I would not feel good enough to be a wife, mother, daughter, grand daughter, sister.  Abortion took control of my life.  I was told it was just tissue and I would only have discomfort for a couple of days.  They lied, it took 31 years of walking in shame and not sharing my secret.  It was a noose around my neck!  Abortion destroyed my self-worth.  Through the “Healed Ministry”and a bible study called “Forgiven & Set Free” I began to feel God’s forgiveness and learn to love myself again.  It gave me hope and a place to speak of what happened, something I had never been able to do.  I was able to grieve the loss of mybabies with other women.  Jesus met me right there and walked through the pain and darkness with me.  Through this study I received absolute confirmation through God’s word that I was forgiven.  I was able to share my abortion experiences with my husband, a secret I had kept from him for 20 years of marriage.  Jesus showed me how valuable I am to Him and I’m able to feel the sun on my face again.  My heart is whole!!!
