It's been almost a year since it was laid on my heart, but thirty days from now I will stand in front of an audience of 80 women and tell my story. This has been a long journey in finding peace within myself. To openly admit a choice I made, and to accept the responsibility for that choice, and in doing so accept the forgiveness from a loving Heavenly Father who cares about me. Who only wants to be able to have a open relationship with me, I just have to be the one to allow it. When we allow guilt and shame be our "go to", we short change ourselves by blocking the love God has to offer us. If you are struggling with the guilt and remorse from having an abortion, know that God is there to forgive you. It seems so simple, but it really boils down to just that, ask for forgiveness and accept the fact that God will give it to you.
