One Young Woman's Personal Testimony

Hi, my name is Tracy and this is my testimony...

In the spring of 2007 I came across an ad in my neighborhood news letter which said that they were offering a "Post Abortive" Bible Study at a nearby church. For some reason I kept going back to that ad and reading it over and over again… I was drawn to it.

For several years I had been in and out of depression… I didn’t know why…

When I was 18 years old I had the first of my two abortions, and it was after that experience that I started drinking until I blacked out. At that time I also became very promiscuous, had nightmares, and started having panic attacks; fear and grief were my constant companions. I went through many years of pain since my first abortion.

Because this had all happened when I was younger I didn’t make the connection between the abortion experience and my depressed condition. I didn’t understand that the emotional pain I suffered with for years was a result of my two abortions.

At the time when I came upon the ad I had been saved for a couple years, and knew in my head that I was forgiven but I guess my heart did not know it yet. I met with Yvonne and agreed to attend the Bible Study. It was then that I realized I had not grieved my loss... And I really did not know before then that the Lord didn't want me to hold on to that pain any longer.

Long story short: The Lord got a hold of me in 2004; He saved and delivered me instantly from all the drugs and alcohol. Then in 2007 I guess He wanted to do a deeper work in my heart. That is when I came across the "Post Abortive Bible Study." I was in SHOCK!! I knew that the Lord forgave me for going through abortion, but I had NO IDEA He wanted to actually heal me from the pain that it caused.

He has not only healed me from the pain and suffering of something horrible that I did, but He has used it to help others who need to know that they can be healed too...

I can't tell you how much emotional and spiritual freedom I now have since going through that Bible Study...

                                      …Thank You Lord.
