At eight years old I accepted the Lord. By the time I was thirty I was widowed. Suffering through the grief and trying to escape the pain. I turned my back on God.
With my heart hardened, I made the two worst decisions of my life, within two years, I had two abortions. At the time deep inside I knew it was not right but, I figured in time it would not affect me too much. I had no idea how much this sin would change so many aspects of my life. I chose to believe a lie.
A few years later after feeling so empty and and being tormented by anxiety and panic attacks I came back to the Lord.
I had repented of my sin, I knew on some level the Lord did forgive me, but deep down I had my doubts. I was the woman that whenever I heard anyone mention abortion I would get sick inside and hope nobody would notice my discomfort. I was at church one Sunday and saw a class being offered called “Forgiven and Set Free” I decided to make that call to “possibly” join.
I spoke to a woman named Gayle, she was so kind and loving. She was just the voice I needed to hear, I joined the next day. I then met Lisa Musil from “White as Wool Ministries”. I knew God has placed me there in this study. My life has been forever changed through really learning who God is and being transformed through his word. For the first time I want to share this with other hurting woman because I have been FORGIVEN AND SET FREE.
Forever grateful
