"I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a daughter and sister. I am a neighbor, friend and co-worker. I am a nurse. I am a Christian. And I had an abortion.
I did not know that one decision would change my life forever. But, it did. I spent many years in a state of confusion, guilt, shame and regret. I couldn’t say the word ‘abortion’ out loud. And, I certainly wasn’t ever going to tell anyone about it.
God did not leave me in that place. He brought me to a new place of freedom and faith. He restored me. He saved me. He extended His love, grace and mercy to me. And, then He called me to extend those same amazing gifts to others like me.
I was terrified when He used the words of a godly, Christian counselor to challenge me to listen to what He was asking of me. At the same time, I knew with absolute certainty that her words were true and right; I knew that I had to do what He was asking.
God has taken the ugliest part of my life and has redeemed it for good. He has blessed me by allowing me the privilege of watching others discover freedom from the places of darkness created by their abortions. He has reaffirmed this call on my life over and over again."
