Here I Go!

Today, I take a step in a new direction....one that I have no idea where it will lead but one that has been prompted by the Holy Spirit. You see, I am a woman who has had an abortion, not just one but two. I have lived with the guilt and pain of those choices for most of my life now and know and feel that it time to share my story with you. Maybe the things that I share with you will help you in some way. You may be facing a crisis pregnancy and do not know what to do, you may have stumbled across this blog, trying to find out why women make this choice...who knows what your story is, you are not here by mistake. It is definitely a divine appointment.

I will begin with telling you a little about myself. I am a mother of three children that God choose to give me, through my own selfishness, ignorance and my desire to please my flesh and pride, I choose to murder two of my babies. Yes, I said murder because that is what it is and was. I choose to take the life of my babies. Believe me to admit this is just as hard, harder than anything that I have had to admit in my life. I have had to come to the reality that this is what I did.

I have lived with this in silence for many years and it has almost killed me. The shame, the guilt, the fear, the pride. There were many days I did not think I was worthy to live but through God's grace and forgiveness I realized the lies. This blog is a step to accept the truth of God's word, that he has forgiven me and I just need to grab hold of that.

Join me as I take this journey back to the past and present and the future with you. I will use the example of the woman found in the Gospel of Luke as a jumping of point , painting my story and interweaving it with hers. Please forgive me if I may be a little blunt but there is only one way I know and that is Truth. "The truth will st you FREE"

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I pray it be a blessing to you!
