My abortion was in 1995. It was difficult for me to get pregnant. I was elated. My boyfriend who I lived with was not. He gave me an ultimatum. I caved.
I do not remember much from the clinic I went to. I have tried to forget the whole experience of that specific day. I now know that I was not informed on how it would affect me afterword, emotionally or spiritually. I did regret it but stuffed that feeling for almost 17 years.
My healing started at a woman's retreat that I was working at with a ministry. A friend of mine told me that Lord showed her Isaiah 61:3 to speak that over my life. She also said that God showed her me as a tree with strong roots. That day God showed me He would use me.
Two years later my church started a group. A very good friend of mine is the facilitator and she suggested that I join them. God has shown me I am forgiven and also that my son is in heaven with his aunts, grandfather, and great-grandfather. The healing process is still ongoing, but I have found help through the Bible study at my church and learning that I am not alone.
