I was a lost 15-year-old girl when I had my abortion. I didn’t feel the weight of my decision until afterwards. When I broke the news to my parents that I was going to be a teenage mother, they thought the best decision at the time was to terminate the pregnancy. Although it was their initial decision, it was my compliance that made it happen. I had already felt like I had grown a bond with my baby in the short 9 weeks that I carried her, so the loss was a big one. For 10 years, I carried that weight of shame and guilt, and tried getting through it on my own. Convinced that my life would’ve been harder with a baby, I moved forward as if nothing had happened.
But God. Jesus led me to She Found His Grace. After going through healing and processing the trauma, hurt, and grief, I know I am not alone. God has truly blessed me and has shown me His true love and mercy. Through She Found His Grace, I’ve gained so much wisdom, healing, and breakthrough. I was able to honor my children in heaven, and they’ll never be forgotten. Thank you Jesus! I am forgiven!
